Seriously, how long can a person go without physical intimacy before....?

I go my heart smashed up real bad well over a year ago. I still cry about it quite a bit. I vowed I wasn't going to go out with someone until I felt better about that situation and my standing in life. [I lost my job, then the sweetie, then my place to live, so I'm working a couple part-time jobs here and there and living back in the guest room at my Fathers]. I've decided to go back to school to get a degree in nursing, but the way I see it, I'm never gonna have a moment to go out with someone. I'm not really all that smart, so I'll have to study a lot, and I will have to work a lot too to pay for things. That, and I'm not really good looking, and I won't sleep with someone just because I can.

So, I know some of you have been widowed, or single for other reasons for a long time (that and most the people in the relationship section are 16). I was wondering how long...well, does it either bother you so bad that you do something rash just to get the longing out of your system, or does it at least stop bothering you so much? It's probably going to be at least a few more years, I would like to get myself braced up, so to speak. It's not even about sex actually, but genuine intimacy: those little touches that let us know we are loved.

Phew. There I said it. It's been bothering me a while, especially late at night.

BTW, I do make soap, and I posted a Q about scenting it yesterday: it was deleted by Yahoo, but I wanted to thank everyone who answered, I did get to read most of the answers I think.
I'm 40, and I think it will be a few years because I'm gonna be studying all the time or working odd jobs at odd hours. That and based on the line of people in the bookstore, I'm twice as old as everyone else in class, lol.
