But it's ok, it's part of growing up. Don't take this as doomposting. Work with what you have in hand.
I've resorted to prostitutes for this very reason. I'm not proud, it's not the life I dreamed on, but it's what I had in hand. I already failed the dating scene and I'm no longer arsed to keep trying. And I'm lucky to be in a country where it's regulated and relatively safe, and not too expensive. I have that feeling of emptiness afterwards, but I'd have that feeling anyway if I just stayed home and goon to porn. A lot of people say sex is underwhelming, maybe it's not as perfect as depicted in porn, but at least for me it's A LOT better than masturbation. Feeling, touching, hugging another warm body, even if she's just pretending to like it, doesn't compare. I have banged gorgeous women I could have never reached by conventional means.
Don't follow this path if you're still young. The younger you are the more paths to normalcy. I started visiting escorts at 30, when I decided I had tried everything. If I could go back to 20 and take a different path I'd do it. But this is the best I can do now.
