I have heard of an organization called Cuddle Parties (I think it originated in the South of the US) and they are just that - cuddle parties with no sex. I think you can start with one and find like-minded people who would be willing to engage in exactly the kind of affectionate close touch relationship that you want without anything sexual that you do not want. I also would encourage you to use the internet otherwise on your own, posting about your specific personality, needs and wants, and gifts that you have to offer - you very well might find like-minded souls. There are many lonely people eager to find affection, and many generous people eager to give of themselves too. With the connectivity of today, you will find what you need.

NightNotes - same for you. Really sorry to hear your heartbreaking story.
