I like my life to be portable so I don't own any furniture. I love going off on weekend road trips and with no destination. I paint my walls orange and put flamingo ornaments on my front lawn. I go on month long hiking trips alone where I'm totally incommunicato. I also hate cooking.
I'm having so much fun that I couldn't imagine giving it up for a life of domesticity. People say I will regret never having sex or being in love. I would kind of like to have sex but I've never been even held hands with a guy. I live in small town and can't imagine being in that kind of situation. Is this really weird? I've never felt particularly attracted to any one person even though I find men sexually attractive.

it's not weird, although it is rare. There are many people that do enjoy their lives without ever having been in a relationship. Not everyone is meant to be in one nor should it be "expected" that it's part of life or happiness for anyone. Don't worry about what people say. Unless it's an issue of something distinctly wrong or right, it matters very little what the rest of the world does. There is no wrong or right in this so you're fine.
Enjoy your life as it is and until you feel that you're missing something, that is, if you ever do, worry about crossing that bridge when it comes. If it never does, it's perfectly acceptable too.
I have been married 2x, myself, have had kids and do not regret having had that experience but to be honest, I am quite enjoying the freedom singlehood brings so I completely understand even though you have never had the experiences, you realize the limitations of having a partner in your life.
