Seriously. I just watched it and it actually has some good things to say about being yourself, not forcing things, and the best sex being with someone you love.
I've seen clips of this movie and it looks much better than the title suggests - maybe I'll rent it tonight.
The three things snood mentions are absolutely right:
1 Be yourself - that doesn't mean sharing your frustration upfront but there must be something about yourself that you like. Showcase that and put yourself somewhere you think others will appreciate it. I don't know, maybe you're good at bowling. Go to a bowling alley or join a league and see who you meet there. The women you meet in an environment which you find friendly are those who may actually want to spend time with you.
2 Don't force - see the movie "Hitch" for details. There's one bit where Will Smith's character advises the lonely would be dater to "go 90% of the way" when trying to kiss a girl then "let her move the final 10%". No one is suggesting force or manhandling a woman but you do need to be demonstrative of what you would like and await feedback.
3 Best sex with someone you love - True! True! True! Purely physical sex can be great but is still just physical, like the thrill of adrenaline sport, but the sex with someone you care about - "love" is a big word but take the point generally - has an added element of "this is the person I would most be wanting to share this moment with" and that's another dimension entirely.
I'm still confused as to why you haven't even done some "heavy petting" by now. There must have been chances in your teens or twenties which (for some reason) you missed. Think about why you missed out - what was the comment you made, the phone you never dared to pick up, whatever!
I didn't have sex until I was 23 and that seemed SO much later than my friends. It became a self-fulfilling prophesy until I met a woman who changed me - because she cared about me as well as "it".
Lesson for today - identify your good attributes and think about how you can show them off (without being arrogant) in an appropriate context.
I hope this helps.
