Are there any canonized authors who never had any serious romantic relationships? I hate to be a 4chan stereotype but I'm beginning to thing my romantic inexperience is detrimental to my writing ability

Lots of philosophers never married or had children; of course this isn't the same thing as "never had sex" (which in turn is not the same thing as what you actually asked, Never a Serious Romantic Relationship) but the consideration is a good starting point. Look at philosopher's biographies. Yes I know you really had fiction in mind but fiction is for plebs and you're limiting yourself.

Easy mode: theologians

Hans Christian Andersen. He was chaste and celibate throughout his entire life but was a notorious coomer. Whenever he did the deed, he would mark it down in his diary. He went to a brothel once or twice but he would either just watch the women undress or have conversations with them, never sex. Then he would go home and nut while thinking of his interactions with them. He was also a huge sperg:
>Andersen met his literary hero, Charles Dickens, at an aristocratic party in 1847. They kept in touch, and a decade later Andersen came to stay with Dickens at the British author's home in Kent, England. The visit was meant to last two weeks at most, but Andersen ended up staying five weeks, to the dismay of the Dickens family. On his first morning there, Andersen proclaimed that it was a Danish custom for one of the sons of the household to shave their male guest. Instead of complying, the family set him up with a local barber. Andersen was also prone to tantrums, at one point throwing himself face down on the lawn and sobbing after reading a particularly bad review of one of his books. Once Andersen finally left, Dickens wrote and displayed a note that read, “Hans Andersen slept in this room for five weeks—which seemed to the family AGES!” Dickens stopped responding to Andersen's letters, which effectively ended their friendship.
