How do I get laid? (26 yo virgin)

NSFW

I know the title sounds funny, but this is a genuine request for help.

I'm a 26 yr old male freshly graduated physician. I grew up in a very conservative household where sex is very taboo and almost never discussed. Went to an all-boys school. Never developed the skills to talk to girls. Still stutter when meeting female coworkers.

I was unfortunately exposed to porn at a very early age, and I developed a masturbation habit. Since I had no relationships or previous experiences, I would douse my libido (sex drive) by myself, but I realized it's too high.

I'm at a point in my life where I'm feeling super lonely, and social media makes me scared of even talking to women. My coworkers are either men, much older women, or married women.

Dating apps are a fraud. I can't cold approach (tried it once; she humiliated me publicly). And while it is tempting, I don't wanna lose my virginity to an escort. No disrespect to anyone who does, but I just feel it would be hollow. I wanna feel loved, actually loved by the person I have sex with, not merely tolerated cuz of the cash I give her...

Am I delusional? What's wrong with me? How do I fix this?
