Being Single and LDS and OLD

Ok I am coming up on my 27th birthday and I am still single. No big deal, right? Except that because I'm also Mormon, this means I'm still celibate, which for me is complete and utter TORTURE! I mean it. I feel like a fat kid at a buffet being forced to drink water and eat bread crusts while everyone else is pigging out. It SUCKS not having sex. I've been wondering if other people are struggling with chastity as an older LDS single. I'm also struggling with going to church and everything because it's all about marriage and families, both of which are conspicuously absent from my sub-par single lifestyle. What are our options? I would love to find and marry a nice man, but that's not quite happening just yet, so I just chill here getting more and more sexually frustrated until I end up killing someone in a hormonal rage and then spend the rest of my life in prison?? I'm being dramatic. Of course, that's my right. Anyone out there in the world dealing with this same thing? Please Comment!

Thanks for putting this into words. However, I have it even worse than you, as I am about to approach my 31st birthday! And just had my heart broken by the man who I thought was going to "break the spell" for me. Anyway, just wanted to let you know you are not alone....(and it helps a tiny bit to know I am not alone either)
