No Hugging, No Kissing is a trope where there is no true romance in the series except in the shipper's mind. Its distant cousin is the Chastity Couple, sharing the lack of physical affection of the former trope. But the partners in question are in a romantic relationship — they simply are not doing what many audiences may expect. The Chastity Couple is a pairing where it is clear the characters are romantically involved but, for any number of reasons, they are never portrayed as sexually intimate. The interaction between the duo can at times be mistaken for an affectionate platonic relationship instead of a romantic one. However, their love for each other is confirmed by either Word of God, their own confession, or other helpful cues, no need to get all perverted about it. Nevertheless, many fans will resort to Rule 34 to make up for the lack of sex in canon. May accidentally be confused for But Not Too Gay, where the motivations for not showing intimacy are tied to issues of representing minority sexualities. Compare The Not-Love Interest, Heterosexual Life-Partners, and Platonic Life-Partners, which are all examples of close couples who are not romantically involved, and Pseudo-Romantic Friendship, where a pairing is very close and may well be romantic but isn't canonically sexual. Not to be confused with Sexless Marriage. In a sexless marriage, we're meant to understand that one or both partners do want sex, and the fact that they don't is connected with relationship problems and results in dissatisfaction. In contrast, a Chastity Couple is content to have a relationship that doesn't involve sex. Also not to be confused with Sleeping Single. In television from the 1930s to the 50s it was common to depict a husband and wife sleeping in their own single beds separated by a nightstand, but most of the time this was understood to be merely a convention of censorship. Its purpose was simply to avoid showing the couple in a suggestive situation, and other evidence such as pregnancy and kids could still indicate that their marriage wasn't actually chaste. Please avoid family shows in examples where possible as they are likely to tone down romance in general because of the intended audience. Contrast this trope with its inversion Friends with Benefits, in which two people have sex but not romance, while a chastity couple has romance without sex. Both are subtropes of Romance and Sexuality Separation. See also Lets Wait Awhile, where they're simply putting off the next step. Compare to Can't Have Sex, Ever, where a couple might if they could but they can't so they don't. Naturally, most cases of Puppy Love are going to fall under this trope (hopefully). |

Maurice and his boyfriend Clive never go any further than hugging or kissing (and a harmless bit of caressing) each other which is partially justified by the restrictions of the time they live in, partially by Clive's firm support of Plato's philosophy about same-sex relations. Maurice appears to wish for a bit more intimacy at first, but he settles fairly comfortably with Clive's view. | |

Brightly Burning, a standalone novel in the Heralds of Valdemar series, features Lavan and his lifebonded soulmate Kalira. Their relationship is entirely chaste... though this may have something to do with the fact that Kalira is a horse. She's a kind of angel with a human mind and soul, yeah, but a horse. However, they do flirt with each other and Kalira tells Lavan that if he was a stallion she'd want him. | |

Mistborn Sazed and Tindwyl deeply care for one another but never engage in sexual activity. This makes sense, seeing as Sazed has been a eunuch since birth while Tindwyl is an old woman whose entire fertile life was spent bearing as many children as possible. Vin and Elend come across this way too, at least initially. They get past it pretty quickly after they're married. |

Story of Seasons: In Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns, one of the marriageable bachelorettes, Alisa, is a nun. Because of her status as a servant of the Harvest Goddess, your relationship with her will, by necessity, be chaste. This means that Alisa is the one marriage candidate in the series with whom you cannot have a child. Kasumi from Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns refuses to kiss before marriage. Yuzuki from Trio of Towns won't kiss the protagonist on the lips until they get married. |

In The Ship Who..., the relationship between shellpeople and their brawns is compared in the very first story to a marriage, one of many the shellperson will enter, and this relationship often becomes quite close and devoted with romantic aspects. Brainships and brawns Can't Have Sex, Ever because cracking open the shellperson's life support capsules to expose the stunted, paralyzed human within kills them. Helva's first brawn is quite content to regard Helva as like his wife. They sing together, and don't seem to care about a physical aspect. The brawn Helva has at the end of The Ship Who Sang, Niall, would like very much for Helva to have the kind of body he can have sex with. In The Ship Who Returned he was sometimes unhappy about her unwillingness to use a Remote Body, and arguments to that effect marked the lowest points of their relationship. However, they stayed together for nearly eighty years until his death and were quite happy for most of that time. Nancia in PartnerShip has a first brawn who's on the patronizing side. When she's temporarily assigned Forister, she realizes how much she enjoys having a brawn who is interested in what she thinks and wants and visibly cares about her, so she ditches her first brawn for him. Forister, in their short period together, commissioned a statuette of Nancia as she might have looked if she'd been able to survive birth and grow up as a healthy softperson, which is always something of a romantic gesture in this setting, but he shows no sign of wanting to crack her collumn. In The City Who Fought, after a rocky start Simeon and his brawn Channa settle into this. Simeon finds Channa quite attractive while not actually harboring any impossible desires for her and tries to 'woo' her, culminating in playing recordings of Helva's most romantic crooning. He's very jealous when she meets and is very attracted to Amos and interrupts them, much to their ire. Eventually Simeon settles down and understands that he and Amos are both very important to Channa and her happiness, which is more important to him than her undivided attention. She is still, after all, devoted to him, which all adds up to a certain Threesome Subtext where Channa gets something different from each of her partners. Carialle and Keff have a distinct Courtly Love aspect to their relationship, helped by playing pseudomedieval fantasy role-playing games together. When they're docked and around other brains and brawns, Keff tends to hook up with whatever brawns are interested, which Carialle is not at all upset by. |

Dexter: This is how Dexter and Rita's relationship is at the start of the show. He's a sociopath who can't understand or feel human emotion, and she's traumatized due to extreme abuse by her ex-husband; however, they both enjoy the sense of stability from the relationship without pressure to take it outside of their respective comfort zones. Eventually averted when she recovers to the point that she's comfortable initiating sexual activity and he realizes he enjoys it. | |

In Umineko: When They Cry, George and Shannon are in a Secret Relationship due to their class differences, but they don't do anything more intimate than holding hands and hugging. In EP2 they even sleep in separate hotel rooms during their trip to Okinawa (much to Jessica's disappointment). This seems to be invoked on Shannon's end, however, because if they were more physically intimate then she'd have to reveal how mutilated her body is. | |

Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs from the Lincoln Rhyme novels. Mostly because he's paralyzed from the neck down, but even beyond that they aren't very affectionate people. One book makes it clear that Lincoln is still capable of the physical part of sex (and as a result capable of fathering children), but seeing as he can't feel it they don't bother. | |

Haru and Tsurezure from Ojojojo. It took them several weeks to reach the Holding Hands phase, and even longer to switch to a First-Name Basis. Both of them want to go further, but their nervousness makes it incredibly difficult, although they are shown to have a kid in the epilogue. Akane even lampshades it when reading a magazine article about getting a boyfriend: | |

In Magician's Quest: Mysterious Times you can date other characters, male or female (though the Gay Option is referred to as "becoming best friends"). There's nothing obviously romantic about your relationships. You never kiss, hug, or even hold hands. All they do is talk to you more and say romantic things towards you. It could be justified as the characters seem to be preteens or in their early teens. | |

Keiichi and Belldandy from Ah! My Goddess. They're in love with each other, have been together for over a year in-universe, and even live together, yet the relationship has barely moved beyond the hand-holding phase. It's An Aesop in the series: It is possible to have a romantic relationship without having sex, and the relationship may even be better without it. In addition, Belldandy is not entirely sure she's ready for physical intimacy, and Keiichi is too gallant to take advantage of her in the moments she seems to be willing, knowing it's not really what she wants. Then in chapter 285 it is revealed that Keiichi had his libido/desire for Belldandy suppressed (without his consent or knowledge) by Heaven, so their chastity turned out to be a huge plot point. | |

The Lyrical Nanoha series is chock full with girls displaying varying degrees of affection towards each other but rarely does any character engage in explicitly romantic behavior, even the canon couples. Hayate is something of an exception; it's hard to take her thing for Signum's breasts as anything but sexual. | |

Fullmetal Alchemist: Ed and Winry are very obviously in love in the manga, yet they never kiss and barely even hug. Even after Winry accepts Ed's Wacky Marriage Proposal, the only thing we get is a hug. They do have children together later, so at least we know at some point things change between them. Roy Mustang and Riza Hawkeye have such a professional relationship that it's really hard to determine if they are really just work partners who care a big deal about each other or if maybe there's something more between them. After the end of the series, Word of God has confirmed that they are indeed in love with each other, but are unable to marry because of military regulations. |

Subverted in RG Veda fanfic Heartbeat of the War God. Ashura and Yasha are wed by Gandharva rite. They hold hot make-out sessions and it's heavily implied that Ashura might touch Yasha, but they haven't consummated their relationship in the "proper" way as Ashura is sexless and Yasha is afraid of hurting his lover. | |

Zig-zagged in the Dragon Age: Inquisition fanfic Walking in Circles, Solas and Evelyn were pretty sexually active before they escaped from the Ostwick Circle but they become this trope after they leave it. During the first two years, it’s because she is a Tranquil who can’t give consent and Solas has lines that he won’t cross so they only touch when he needs to guide or take care of her. They don’t do it for months after she recovered and got the mark either despite having no problems hugging, kissing, or even sleeping in the same bed as the act of sex reminds Evelyn of her trauma during the uprising and her being afraid to give up control to someone else. They eventually have enough confidence to gradually move away from this trope, and finally break it in chapter 32, after Evelyn has mentally recovered enough. Solas still treads very carefully when they do it, though. | |

Jinto and Lafiel from Crest of the Stars are always together, flirt and poke fun at each other like a couple would, are deeply connected on an emotional level, and have even agreed to stay that way for their entire lives (or at least for as long as possible), and yet the reader/viewer never sees them do more than hug each other, and even that is ridiculously rare. | |

The Meaning of One has Harry and Ginny soul-bonded to each other, experiencing everything the other does; it's generally assumed (including by themselves) that they'll marry someday, and they share a bed out of necessity (one of the side effects of the bond is that they find it extremely difficult to fall asleep unless they are making skin-to-skin contact). But being only between ten and twelve years old, they don't go beyond kissing. | |

Total Drama: Gwen and Trent have only shared one on-screen kiss during their relationship. Crimson and Ennui from the Spin-Off, Total Drama Presents the Ridonculous Race. It's eleven episodes in before Ennui casually mentions that they've been dating for three years, and the most physical affection they show is holding hands once. But then, they're both so stoic that it fits rather well. |

Inuyasha: Sango and Miroku are romantically interested in each other from an early point after they first meet, and it becomes a relationship that is complicated by his womanising. However, their romantic interludes don't involve sexual activity (even though he's implied to have engaged in the act, or almost so, with any number of other women) and rarely even involve physical touch. Even after they become engaged, this remains the case and, towards the end of the manga, when Miroku's life is on the line and he's unconscious, Sango requests privacy before she gives him a kiss goodbye. In the epilogue, Sango is giving birth for the second time. Inuyasha has this relationship with both Kikyou and Kagome. He was technically engaged to marry Kikyou before her death, but it's implied that physical intimacy wasn't involved in their relationship (due to Kikyo's duty as a priestess). After Kikyo comes back to life, Inuyasha and Kikyou kiss intimately early in the manga, and on one occasion when Kikyou is badly injured, Kagome notices that it looks like she and Inuyasha desperately want to hug each other (there are people around, so they don't). By the same token, Inuyasha and Kagome aren't physically intimate beyond occasional hand-holding or, on one occasion when Kagome thought Inuyasha had died, a tight embrace. It's led a lot of the fandom to believe Inuyasha and Kagome aren't an official couple until the end of the story, whereas in the manga, they're officially considered a couple by everyone (including themselves) shortly after Kouga's first arrival in the story.note His issue is that he has formal obligations to two women he genuinely loves and, until freed from his obligation to Kikyou, he cannot move on with Kagome even though she's his girlfriend. As he once says to Miroku, it would be easier if he could just have both women, an idea the two women themselves would never approve of. However, chastity is very much the name of the game for both relationships, to the point of Inuyasha and Kagome never sharing a kiss in the manga (they do in the anime). |

The Big Bang Theory: Sheldon and Amy initially agreed there would be no physical relationship, but over time Amy developed into wanting one. While he has no interest in it, he has admitted to her and others that she influenced him and he considers theirs a deeply intimate relationship even if they aren't physical. After being together about 4 years, including a brief break-up, "The Opening Night Excitation" has Sheldon propose intimacy for her birthday. Even then, while Sheldon admitted he didn't mind the experience he saw it as a birthday tradition and not a regular, spontaneous thing. | |

Robin (1993): Tim Drake has several girlfriends over the course of the books (Ariana, Stephanie Brown, Zoanne, and Tam) but it's made clear he never sleeps with any of them, nor is he really interested in doing so. He and Steph finally decided to have their first time together in her Convergence tie in but they both find they're too injured to do more than cuddle. Finally averted in Detective Comics (Rebirth). | |

Justified and cranked up to eleven in Code:Realize. Thanks to Cardia's... condition, she can't kiss any of her potential love interests, let alone have sex. Lupin's ending (and to a lesser extent Victor's) have this issue being resolved. Impey's, Van Helsing's, and Saint-Germain's endings have them still stuck in this trope, but they're still searching for a way to get rid of her poison. And from what has been seen of the sequel, succeed. | |

As a general rule, the less lustful a relationship or attempted relationship in Sinfest is, the better it will go. Fuchsia and Criminy, the healthiest couple, spend most of their time reading to each other, and Slick's relationship with Monique got a lot better after he gave up hope of getting in her pants. The exception to this is Fuchsia's lesbian relationship with Baby Blue, but their friendship seems entirely separate from their gay-for-pay antics. The Angels are sort of a spoof of this: they manage to be even purer and more blissful than Fuchsia and Criminy, spending most of their time holding hands and flying around helping people. They also perform "The Wholesome Lambada of Platonic Love" for Slick and Monique. |

Maoyu: The Hero and the Demon Queen are a borderline example since their arrangement of "belonging to each other" makes them husband and wife in all but name. It's a bit enforced on his side because he's a Celibate Hero who, despite being genuinely attracted to the Demon Queen, wants to avoid a Mayfly–December Romance. As for her, it's clear that she does want to be more affectionate, but she's also very innocent and as inexperienced as him. | |

In Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns, one of the marriageable bachelorettes, Alisa, is a nun. Because of her status as a servant of the Harvest Goddess, your relationship with her will, by necessity, be chaste.

Takeo from My Love Story!! insists that he will wait until Yamato is older to kiss her or even hold hands with her. Yamato is less than pleased about this because she is as hormonal as is expected for her age but is afraid Takeo will stop liking her if he learns she isn't as "pure" as he thought. They eventually start holding hands and have their First Kiss but their relationship is mostly chaste. | |

In Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE-, for all the trouble Syaoran goes through to save Sakura, a peck on the cheek is as close to a kiss as they're ever going to get. This is because Syaoran has the chivalrous mindset of "She's the princess, it's not my place." Sakura has to remind him, regularly, to call her by her name instead of her title and certainly doesn't seem to be a bold romantic type, given that she was incredibly flustered after giving Syaoran said peck. the Syaoran and Sakura clones do get married and produce Tsubasa "Syaoran" after their reincarnation. | |

Mulder and Scully of The X-Files are a prime example of this trope. Part of it could be that they were originally never intended to be a romantic couple, but while they have intense feelings for one another, are rarely physically demonstrative. The extent of physical contact we see is usually holding hands, and occasionally a hug. In nine seasons, there are only four on-screen kisses between them, and one of them was likely all in Mulder's head. On the other hand, Gillian Anderson remarked that "Mulder and Scully holding hands is as intense and romantic as a kiss on another show," and their touches, while not demonstrative, were certainly very intense. | |

Dynasty Warriors plays this straight. Romance is an undeniable part of the story (loose or not, it was based on history), but whether it's because of artistic choice or censorship (which is hardly believable, given that the whole point of the series is for you to lay waste on a battlefield with hundreds of mooks), physical affection is kept to a minimum. This leads to cases like Sima Zhao and Wang Yuanji acting like close friends, whereas their real-life counterparts were a Happily Married couple. Somewhat justifiable in that the source material is basically a militaristic semi-documentary of China's Three Kingdoms period. There's barely even any women mentioned in. Wu's ending on DW7 is for the longest time the closest anyone has shown physical affection, with Sun Quan bridal carrying Lianshi. Keep in mind that the ending is a feast, one that follows the euphoria of a major battle of independence. You would think they show more than that. The ninth game nearly averted this trope where the endings of some female love interests show some affection between them and their partners. Nearly in a sense that the only affectionate gestures shown are caressing the cheek, embracing, gushing, and lying on one's lap. |

Brrr and Ilianora in the later The Wicked Years books are definitely this, for several really good reasons, the most obvious one being that they're of different species: she's a human, he's a sentient Lion. There's also the problem posed by Ilianora's rather extreme strategy to protect herself from Prison Rape, the little matter that Brrr is well-endowed enough to cause some pretty serious damage even to another Big Cat, and the fact that the one successfully completed human/Animal sex act in the books ended with the complete mental and physical breakdown of the human involved. | |

They are quite obviously in love with each other, but between fighting a war, various arguments, and the fact that her adoptive kids don't like him at first, among other reasons, they don't even kiss until the series finale, and that requires an absurd amount of effort on Renton's part to make possible. Keep in mind that Renton is only fourteen and Eureka probably isn't any older. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: Kira has a non-sexual romance with Lacus, but he is a weird case because he lost his virginity, onscreen, to resident Yandere Flay Allister, yet shares nothing more than chaste kisses and embraces with Lacus. Then again, the very troubled nature of Kira's relationship with Flay could be exactly why he and Lacus have a romantic-yet-not-sexual (as far as we know) relationship. Interestingly enough, the two are often portrayed in openings naked (especially when they are embraced and posed in a rather sexual manner in the final opening of SEED Destiny), but given Japan's view of nudity as a sign of purity, it's more of a highlight of the quality of their relationship than anything sexual happening between them. They grow out of this by the end of the movie. | |

Nick and Ki in General Protection Fault are this since Nick believes in chastity before marriage. It's never quite explained why he believes in that, but all the same (the meta-reason is that the author is very religious and wasn't comfortable with his protagonist living in sin, even though the protagonist himself has no strong religious convictions). | |

Legend of the Seeker treats Richard and Kahlan's relationship as this in the second season, because sex might make her lose her Confessor power, which would destroy Richard. While in the books, the pair swore off any kind of relationship, thinking it was an insurmountable obstacle until they found a solution, in the second season of the series, they plainly and openly act like a loving couple — they just don't sleep together. | |

The pair share one kiss during a brutal physical fight which occurred after Tolson confessed his love for Edgar, who only reciprocates once Clyde is out of the room. Otherwise, the raciest their relationship gets is holding hands, due to Edgar's deep self-hatred. | |

In Terminator: Dark Fate, Carl and his wife Alicia have never had sex, according to him, because she was put off sex by an abusive former partner and he's asexual and it means that she won't notice that he's a robot. | |

Gundam: Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: Kira has a non-sexual romance with Lacus, but he is a weird case because he lost his virginity, onscreen, to resident Yandere Flay Allister, yet shares nothing more than chaste kisses and embraces with Lacus. Then again, the very troubled nature of Kira's relationship with Flay could be exactly why he and Lacus have a romantic-yet-not-sexual (as far as we know) relationship. Interestingly enough, the two are often portrayed in openings naked (especially when they are embraced and posed in a rather sexual manner in the final opening of SEED Destiny), but given Japan's view of nudity as a sign of purity, it's more of a highlight of the quality of their relationship than anything sexual happening between them. They grow out of this by the end of the movie. |

In Redeeming Love, Michael and Angel do not have sex for the first several months of their marriage. Angel offers, quite forwardly, but Michael refuses to allow it because he knows Angel has a strong emotional disconnect with sex due to her upbringing as a prostitute. | |

In Up Your Arsenal, Sasha does kiss him all of one time (after he narrowly escaped death), which leaves him a little dazed. He also swears to the Galactic President he never touched her after he said, "My daughter tells me you're a man who's good with his hands"—referring to Ratchet's mechanical skills, of course. | |

The characters in Archie Comics are like this. They kiss often and drool over each other but actually being sexual is never implied. At least one story actually dealt with this. An issue from the 1970s had Betty doubting her chastity abilities around Archie. It's probable no sex is involved due to the Betty and Veronica love triangle. Both girls date Archie at different times and adding sexual aspects to it would both complicate the triangle and create even heavier fidelity issues. | |

Ratchet & Clank seems to do this with Ratchet's relationships (and Clank's, though as a robot it's less noticeable). For a series whose subtitles are nothing but Double Entendre, the actual relationships are refreshingly innocent. In Up Your Arsenal, Sasha does kiss him all of one time (after he narrowly escaped death), which leaves him a little dazed. He also swears to the Galactic President he never touched her after he said, "My daughter tells me you're a man who's good with his hands"—referring to Ratchet's mechanical skills, of course. The Future arc introduces Talwyn, an Action Girl who does get a fair amount of Ship Tease with Ratchet, though both the games and comics are ambiguous enough about their relationship that Insomniac needed to clarify things during a PAX Panel in 2012. Into the Nexus, released the next year, upped the amount of Ship Tease, but still keeps things low-key to the point that their joking and teasing could be taken to indicate they're very close Platonic Life-Partners instead—the closest we get to an in-game confirmation of their relationship is Ratchet saying there's more for him here than if he went to join the other Lombaxes in their dimension. Of course, given that Clank is his best friend, he could have just as easily have been speaking of the robot as her being the one who makes him decide to stay. |

The Unexplored Summon://Blood-Sign's narration describes Kyousuke and Mary as having been "lovers" in the past, but flashbacks show this love was expressed verbally/mentally, not physically. The trope seems to be both a realistic (as Kyousuke was only 13 at the time) and stylistic choice; it was their naivete that led to their breakup, so showing them do 'adult' things like kissing would cloud that fact. In the present day, Mary glibly propositions Kyousuke...yet is entirely unsurprised when he refuses. | |

Cricket Green and Gabriella Espinosa from Big City Greens are a family-friendly variation of this. After Cricket discovered Gabriella has feelings for him, he finds her and reveals his feelings for her as well, to which she reciprocates. She then asks him to be her boyfriend to which he accepts, only they just have to tell people they're dating and not do anything overly romantic at the moment, like Holding Hands, giving flowers, and smooching all the time. After she leaves for her vacation to Montreal, Cricket instantly tells Remy and Vasquez the good news. This is further exampled in "Date Night" when they just want to have a night at the movies, but Bill takes them to a romantic rich sky restaurant which they obviously don't find fun. | |

In Rain (2010), there's Rain and Rudy (all they do is kiss a couple of times; makes sense since they're both really not interested in people of the other's gender), as well as Chanel and Maria (Chanel is asexual and specifically states that although some aces have or are interested in having sex, she's not one of them; Maria is fully aware and on board). The topic isn't really brought up one way or the other for any of the other couples in the main cast (not the teenagers, anyway). | |

In the Saint Beast anime there are at least two Official Couples whose romantic involvement is pretty well spelled out but are never portrayed as more physically intimate than hugging. The fact that they're angels may have something to do with the non-sexual portrayal. | |

In Chobits, Hideki is adorkably chaste around Chii, and if it weren't for the fact that she was a persocom, he'd be all over her. Ultimately, Hideki learns that while she's human enough to love and be loved, and was even designed for it, touching her sexually would delete all her data and make her forget him. The ending implies that they continue on as a couple, quite happily in love even though they can't consummate it (while the anime implies that they'll be able to skirt around the problem due to being truly in love). | |

Pictured above: In the anime adaptation of CLANNAD, Tomoya's relationship with Nagisa is strictly hugging but no kissing. Nothing beyond hand-holding is ever shown on screen (and they're usually very awkward about it) and they don't even sleep in the same futon, but in one scene, Nagisa suddenly blurts out, explicitly and to her parents, that they've been having sex (which they had to have been because they have a daughter together), and this causes her father to freak out on Tomoya ("You bastard, CONGRATULATIONS!") This is downplayed in the visual novel, where, while nothing is actually shown, intimacy between the two is implied on multiple occasions, and they share the same futon after marriage. | |

From Modern Family, you can definitely say that Cam and Mitchell are this, and arguably Gloria and Jay too. This becomes more pronounced when compared to Phil and Claire, who have had two episodes revolving around their romantic life and who share kisses in almost every episode. Gloria gets pregnant with Jay's child and before that she is several times shown to invite him in intimacy. But it is not shown live. This was a choice of the producers not to make a young woman kiss a man old enough to be her father on a regular basis. |

In The Wire, a show which never shied away from showing the physical side of romance, it sticks out that Omar and Renaldo, despite their flirting, sharing a bed, and moving to Puerto Rico together, were not shown to even hold hands. What differentiates this from But Not Too Gay is that the show had no qualms about showing Omar getting affectionate with his first two boyfriends, making this portrayal seem exceptional. | |

Baccano!: Nice Holystone and Jacuzzi Splot are an in-universe version. They were in a relationship for ten years before they even kissed (and that was only because Jacuzzi expected he might die). Bullet Garden reveals that Firo finally managed to work up the courage to propose to Ennis after fifty years of living together platonically—after which, they proceeded to spend two more decades without consummating their marriage. The rest of the Martillos find this absolutely ridiculous, ("At least tell me they kissed.") and decide to get them an expensive room on a cruise liner solely because they think both of them are in such desperate need of a lay that it's just getting sad. The two return from the trip as virgins. |

The Hunger Games: In Catching Fire, Katniss and Peeta are a straight example of the trope, as their love affair and subsequent engagement is very public, but initially only for show. While Peeta spends many nights in Katniss' bed, there's no mention of the two of them so much as kissing during those nights. During the course of the book, Katniss begins to fall in love with Peeta and they engage in a passionate make-out session on the beach, but that's as far as it goes before they are separated. It's subverted in Mockingjay, but due to how the first time they make love is merely alluded to, there are fans who believe they didn't have sex until deciding to start a family—fifteen years into their relationship. Has been Jossed already, but there are fanfictions out there that depict Their First Time as happening after a decade and a half. | |

Most of the romances in Little Busters! end up like this, but bonus points to Rin/Riki for the lampshading. Riki is shy and Rin is so unaware of what it actually means to be in love or dating that it becomes a mild point of awkwardness that the story fortunately doesn't have to focus on. | |

Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, at least initially. Walt Disney himself said that Mickey and Minnie were happily married outside of their acting career, but did not have a sex life.

As the series goes on and the characters get older this becomes more apparent in Wandering Son: The closest we get to anything between Nitori and Anna is Anna inducing an erection in Nitori while massaging her. Anna says she has dirty thoughts about Nitori and Nitori has Erotic Dreams about Anna, but nothing actually happens. One of the last chapters has a seventeen-year-old Nitori lamenting that she hasn't had sex with Anna but wants to. At that point, they had been dating pretty much constantly since Nitori was in middle school. It's not due to censorship either, as Shimura's other manga don't shy from nudity and sexual situations. (To be fair, Anna is a popular idol so her image would take a hard blow.) Maho, who is older than her sister by a year and has been dating her boyfriend even longer than Nitori's been dating Anna, makes a comment once that she hasn't had sex with Seya yet. |

In Dragon Age II, the Romance Sidequest between Female!Hawke and Sebastian along the Friendship path takes this route. Sebastian is an exiled prince-turned-Chantry brother who took a vow of chastity and if you complete the romance, Hawke becomes a Chantry sister and the two have a chaste marriage. If the romance is pursued among the Rivalry path, then this is subverted as Hawke would have then convinced Sebastian to leave the Chantry, take back his lands as Prince, and make Hawke his Princess by marriage. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Buffy and Angel had to be this upon discovering that having sex would cause Angel to lose his soul and turn evil.note Technically, it's a "moment of perfect happiness" that will cause this to happen, and it's not absolutely certain that having sex with Buffy will cause that to happen every time. But neither of them is willing to risk it again, for very good reason: Angel's soulless alter-ego Angelus is one of the most thoroughly evil vampires in history. | |

Downplayed in Beyond The Storm. Max and Chloe say "I love you", routinely share a bed and make out, but have not had sex (yet) as Max has some inhibitions regarding sex. In Chapter 15, they explicitly discuss sex and what they would both like to do, indicating that their relationship will probably become sexual in the near future. | |

Even after Naruto and Hinata become a couple in A Growing Affection, they don't have sex until after they are officially engaged, almost a year later. Tenten even razzes Hinata about this. | |

Shakuntala and Rao are this in the first part of the Belisarius Series, as pressing the matter would offend Rao's trust with her father, not to mention damaging her usefulness in an Arranged Marriage. And of course because she is a princess and he is a minor noble. | |

Kirishima Haruto and Mishima Asuka of A Town Where You Live were in a relationship that bordered on innocent since they were neighbors, for two years, and yet they never went beyond the occasional kiss. This is not implied either; it was outright stated by the couple. | |

In the Village Tales series, the Rector, Noel Paddick, a young widower, finds himself unexpectedly in love with another man: the Deputy Headmaster of the local Free School, the bisexual Sher Mirza, who is head over heels for the Rector, in turn. And nothing will happen. The Rector's a High Church C of E cleric. Sher's a devout Muslim. Even if their own consciences could be squared, they love each other too much to allow the other to do violence to his principles. (Their lips have touched, once: when Fr Paddick gave Sher Mirza rescue-breathing after a fire. And that's the limit, difficult though they find it.) | |
