== Anime and Manga ==

** It's especially weird in Kira's case, since earlier in the show he lost his virginity (''onscreen'', no less!) to resident [[Yandere]] Flay Allister. Loran, on the other hand is implied to have lost the use of his genitals due to suffering repeated [[Groin Attack|Groin Attacks]] over the course of the series as a [[Running Gag]].

*** Then again, there's a difference between it not being shown and it not happening.

* In the ''[[Saint Beast]]'' anime there are at least two [[Official Couple|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 [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink|angels]] may have something to do with the non-sexual portrayal.

* ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' series is chock full with [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship|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 [[Skinship Grope|thing for Signum's breasts]] as anything ''but'' sexual.

** ''Bullet Garden'' reveals that Firo finally managed to work up the courage to propose to Ennis after fifty years of [[Innocent Cohabitation]] - after which, they proceeded to have two ''more'' decades of innocent cohabitation. 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 [[Get a Room|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.

** Nothing beyond hand-holding is ever shown on screen (and they're usually very awkward about it), but in one scene, {{spoiler|[[Funny Moments|Nagisa suddenly blurts out, explicitly and]] ''[[Funny Moments|to her parents,]]'' [[Funny Moments|that they've been having sex.]]}}

** Averted in the original game, where they are a more "normal" couple.

** Averted in the first TV season, but barely. They get as far as a kiss on the cheek for both of them at the end of episode 24.

** The series has been going on for over ''two decades'', with several years of in universe time, and Keiichi and Belldandy have gotten [[Status Quo Is God|practically nowhere]].

* 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. Of course, Syaoran does have the chivalrous mindset of "She's the princess, it's not my place" and Sakura certainly doesn't seem to be much of a bold romantic type, given that she was incredibly flustered after giving Syaoran said peck. Still, even with all the sweet hugs and hand-holding, it can get kind of disappointing.

** Of course, {{spoiler|the Syaoran and Sakura clones do get married and produce Tsubasa "Syaoran" after their reincarnation}}.

** In the final light novel (which wasn't adapted for the [[OV As]]), {{spoiler|it's revealed that in the distant future, they actually do have a daughter, so at some point things change between them.}}

* ''[[Inuyasha]]'' has Sango and Miroku. They are technically engaged but there are no romantic moments because Miroku flirts with other women and simply ruins any romantic moments he does have with Sango. {{spoiler|Finally averted in the ending of the manga, as Miroku and Sango get married and had three children. At the very least, they waited for marriage before they consummated their love.}}

 

== Fan Fiction ==

 

 

* David and Frank in ''David Blaize''. Frank is attracted to David and has been sexually involved with other boys before, but when Frank nearly makes a pass, David is deeply disturbed; this shakes Frank and makes him realise the 'error' of his ways, and the two boys have a chaste romantic friendship. This book was published in 1916 and the author, the son of a priest, seems sincerely to have believed that homosexual sex was wrong.

* ''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 [[Cool Horse|horse]]. With a human mind and soul, yeah, but a horse.

 

 

== Live Action TV ==

* 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.

* Ned and Chuck on ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'', since he can't touch her without killing her again for good. They do use things like plastic wrap and beekeeper outfits and gloves for physical contact, though. Apparently Ned has also built "contraptions."
