Are there any substitutes for romantic relationships?

I've tried having good relationships with my family, plenty of great, supportive friendships, constructive hobbies and life goals and a healthy lifestyle, and I've tried getting drunk, and there's still a hole in my heart and I'd like for it to stop being there.

I'm also getting all the sex that I can handle which is literally none.
>>
Why can't you handle sex?
>>
>>17177366
Either it's because I'm a transsexual and it's a matter of dysphoria, maybe one of those times some dude fucked me drunk really did count as rape, maybe my hormones are fucked up to begin with, maybe it's that porn flick I accidentally saw as a toddler, or maybe I'm just naturally asexual.

The fuck if I know. I've just never had a sexual experience that'd have been remarkably positive or pleasant, so every day that I don't get fucked is a small personal victory.
>>
I mean, I guess it'd be fine if I had any interest in sex, I could just masturbate and feel a release and relief and the feelings would go away for a while, but you can't do that with love.

Or can you? Is there a way to masturbate feelings?
>>
Bump because I need these answers.
>>
Secondary bump.
>>
I am going to keep bumping this forever or until I get an answer.
>>
again
>>
As far as I know, there are no substitutes.
Speaking as a guy who's been alone for a long time, and will keep being alone for a long time to come.
Still bothers me that i don't have anyone to share my life with, anyone to hold and hug.
>>
>>17177992
So I'm just better off doing drugs and fucking strangers?
>>
You can very well have a sexless romantic relationship if that is what you are looking for.

In my experience, the moment a friendship turns into a quasi I-want-to-satisfy-my-sexual/romantic-urges (for most guys, but not all, sexual urges seem to come hand in hand with the sweet fuzzy fee fees), there is a lot of drama and tension in the relationship and it can easily devolve into shitfighting political king-of-the-hill bullshit where you pull each other's aggro on other platonic friends of the opposite sex/gender and exclusivity-not-exclusivity sort of deal. Without the sex, it's a wonder how any such relationship even perpetuates.

>>17177996
Those don't help me personally (nothing does), but whatever works for you.
>>
>>17177375
You're whole post was just... wtf.

Have you tried just not focusing on the subject of sex/sexuality?
>>
>>17178245
Have you ever tried to avoid sex while dating a man?

I'd shag girls if I could, believe me.
>>
>>17177355
get a dog
>>
>>17178277
We have two. Not the same as a man, believe me or not.

This can be you OP

>>17178289
maybe not, but certainly more loyal than any human
>>
>>17178273
There are asexual men or men who have just as many hangups about sex, if you are asking. There are entire dating websites for this sort of thing.
>>
>>17178345
There's nobody in OkCupid, why would a more obscure one?
>>
>>17178273
If you're asexual you don't focus on sex or the act of sex. And no, Ive never tried to avoid sex while dating a man because I'm not gay and date women, women who I would mentally and physically attracted to. Asexuals don't get that attraction with people.
>>
>>17178484
But I want to be loved, kissed and held. I just don't like getting fucked.
>>
There are no substitutes for a brain free of mental illness. Also you claim to be asexual, but your entire life seems to resolve around sex.
>>
>>17178633
Then stop focusing on sex.
>>
>>17178648
I can't help it. I can't stop.

>>17178701
But I want to be loved, and women won't do.
>>
>>17178370
Because people looking for normal relationships use normal apps,
people who have abnormal requests look on abnormal apps, because that's where all the other people with the abnormal requests are

Ex. Christian dating sites, gay dating sites, poly dating sites, etc, etc, etc, fucking etc,
>>
>>17178742
Are there any other gay dating sites except for grindr?

I tried one relevant to a fetish, but out of the only 7 guys there from my country, 5 were over 40 and the other two did not reply to me.
>>
>>17178735
Sex doesn't equal love. Pretty sure OP is just a troll.
>>
>>17178765
I'm not. I've just never had good experiences with men or sex.
