[[No Hugging, No Kissing]] is a trope where there is no true romance in the series except in the [[Shipping|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 love; they simply are not doing what many audiences may expect.
Line 6:
The '''Chastity Couple''' is a pairing where it is clear the characters are romantically involved but, due to any number of reasons, they are never portrayed as sexually intimate. The interaction between the duo can at times be mistaken for an affectionate [[Heterosexual Life Partners|platonic]] [[Platonic Life Partners|relationship]] instead of a romantic one, however, their love for each other is confirmed by either [[Word of God]], [[Love Confession|their own confession]], or other [[Everyone Can See It|helpful cues]], no need to get all perverted about it. [[Rule 34|But a majority will]].
 
May accidentlyaccidentally 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]], all examples of close couples who are not romantically involved.
 
Not to be confused with [[Sexless Marriage]] nor [[Sleeping Single]] either.
