I don't think there's anything degrading towards women if you are craving their touch. It sounds like you're craving the intimacy and love that comes with a committed relationship though rather than just the touch of a woman. Relationships are give and take so all of that stuff like listening to her problems, stroking her ego, etc just kinda comes with the territory, and if you find a good woman she will reciprocate those things. It seems like you're looking for all of the perks of a relationship without any of the footwork that comes with it and I think you'll be hard pressed to find a situation like that.

Are you consciously abstaining from a committed relationship?
