I think many of us own that "love me please" card. It doesn't make you pathetic. It makes you human. Being physically close to someone is comforting and the "easiest" way to achieve that (often) is by being sexual. It is way more common that you think.
I agree with Tamar. At the end of the day, nobody takes a head count and says, "you've had one too many or one too few partners." But the way it makes you feel about yourself is worrisome. It sounds like you have done some thinking about why you go down this road and what you are trying to get from it. Now perhaps your thinking needs to shift to other potential roads to choose. I know that is so much easier said than done. But maybe if you find something to channel all that energy into, like volunteering, gardening, dancing, whatever, and doing it with other people, you would begin to feel better about things.
Try not to be so hard on yourself. We are always our own worse critic, aren't we?
Take care,
Daisy
