No one would have sex if they, themselves, weren't getting something out of it. It's an inherently selfish act.
No, it can be and often is a mutually satisfying act in which each partner aims to please the other. It's no wonder you claim to have so many problems in this area. What person would want to be intimate with such a self-absorbed and shallow person?

LOL, you can't picture sex where two people are enjoying themselves and the other person? Sad.

Sex is not meaningful at all. It's literally just two people using each other's bodies to get themselves off. All pleasure, no meaning.
You say "pleasure" like it's a bad thing.

I was raised Catholic. Pleasure was never accepted as "good" or "bad" in my family, more like "irrelevant"

I was raised Catholic and my parents couldn’t keep their hands off each other.

Why pay any attention to your family or how you were raised?
