You mentioned KHHVdom in your complaint, so it's bothering you that you are a virgin in addition to your desire for sexualized intimacy. You did say you have a desire "to love" but from a woman's perspective, what is that truly worth? So you want to fondle and kiss and gyrate. All on the tab of your own calorie expenditure. How thoughtful. I'm glad I was mistaken.
So since none of this bothers you and you'd rather remain a virgin, then you can stop complaining about being a KHHV. Now, to your currently halved demand of affection and love: You should be made aware that love in any form is conditional and it is a tremendous burden on the part of the thing doing the loving. However, it is freely received. This means that you cannot compel anyone or anything towards loving you, and you can only strive towards the higher likelihood of the same outcome as compulsion. Striving will feel like a burden to the point of wasting away to nothing.
Fortunately for you, the insular and cushy modern times we live in (at present) make this burden exceedingly light. Technically, you can feel affection for anything in your life that you've grown fond of simply by its proximity to you. It could be a goldfish on your desk. But you mentioned wanting physical affection, and for that you will need something a little bigger. For a dog that thinks you're its adoptive father, affection for you is the most likely outcome. Obviously it will be expensive, so just take time out for it and make more money. These burdens would be easy to shoulder if you're motivated by love to begin with, but since you are an "empty and would be filled" type, it will be significantly harder unless you somehow experience an internal paradigm shift and are suddenly a "full and flows over" type.
So yeah. TL;DR:
If you want to do this the secular way: work up to getting the dog.
Or get-your-ass-to-Mass as they say and pray for a pittance of grace from God Himself to fix the problem at its root.
