Believe it or not, this is a serious answer: consider getting a cat.
When I've had periods like this -- and believe me, I have -- the closest I've come to satisfying my needs is to curl up with a cat to get some cuddle time. It's not the same as cuddling with another human, and I still have to do the pleasure thing myself (without the cat, if possible ;-D ), but at least having some other creature offer the comfort of closeness and the loving look on my cats' faces when we cuddle -- it does help.
Sorry I can't offer anything better than that. What I will say, though, is that I have had my best luck meeting lovers when NOT looking. If I'm looking for a relationship, I won't find anything. If, on the other hand, I'm not looking for anything in particular, then I seem to be hard to resist... Met my spouse at match.com at a time when all I wanted was casual dating. Turned out that the third or four person I met was The Right One for me. {shrug} It happens...
By the way, I think I was 35 when that happened...
