A number of options spring to mind... 1. Accept the fact. 2. Try to find a compromise. 3. Polyamoury/open to play partners if they are open to that (my way). 4. See escorts if they are ok with that.
This is why I am a fan of open relationships. I think it's unrealistic to expect one person to fulfill all your needs; sexual, emotional, intellectual etc. Open relationships are becoming more accepted but that is a very personal choice and I know some people would get offended if their spouse suggesting something like that.

Agreed, but sometimes finding ONE person to do anything with is challenging enough. The dating world is fucking cruel these days... Coming out of a 18 year relationship, I never knew how awful it was.
I am polyamorous and there are many different types of relationship. I have 2 loving 'proper/normal' relationships, but others have play partners. This is the kind that kinksters often go for to "fulfill all your needs". It is tricky to find them, but it is all about being open, exploring and yes, a little luck. There are no female sploshers I know of in my city (though for a play partner I would travel) but I keep my hopes up
I agree with Leila, alternative ways of living are becoming more accepted now and long may this continue. Poly/open can help people become closer but it does take a certain mental switch to realise it. Jealousy and Envy are powerful (which I fortunately don't feel) and honesty with others and yourself are key.

Dating certainly isn't easy, it does take a good deal of patience and some persistence to find people you like. I'm not at the point of "dating" per se but I have found it rewarding to meet new people despite the obnoxiousness of having to deal with some creeps along the way.
