Sweet 40 and never been kissed and 40 Year Old Virgins.
A friend of mine from high school said she never kissed her husband until her wedding day. The Minister said "you may now Kiss the Bride" and he felt he needed his blessing and permission first apparently-they have stayed married for millenia and happily by all accounts. And she wasn't in the nerd crowd- she was the homecoming queen type.
The couple in the article below met on a Missionary Trip in Uganda.
Love at First Sight.

They waited until their wedding day to Kiss. Seriously. Imagine what you can get to know about a person if you never touch or tempt them first.
You might have to expand your cerebral muscles a bit. You may have to develop some communication skills you thought were useless. You might have to respect yourself more than you are used to. You might find other talents -like cooking, stand up comedy or cooking while performing stand up comedy.
You might have to be telepathically or soulfully linked in that way that causes people to proclaim --You know what! "You Just Know When You Know." (didn't your mother tell you that.)
And the rest is gravy folks.
Guiltless Gravy from here to Heaven.
--or so I'm told on good authority--
Respect yourself. I know you can do it. [That should be the new abstinence campaign motto.]
The wildest thing is that this practice is apparently so rare that it made the internet news.
That does say a bit about how far the slip sliddin' toward Gehenna or Gomorrah has slouched.
Catholic Priests don't even say sometimes in wedding ceremonies "You May Now Kiss The Bride"--it's reserved to the discrete privacy of the wedding suite--it's that SACRED.
I'm all for people getting prize money for preserving themselves until marriage. Let's start a Fund. If you cheat you have to pay into it, if you conduct a pious relationship that ends with Four Carrots and a Kiss at the Altar, you just hit the jackpot baby.
