never been kissed

Romantically completely inexperienced

Never been kissed describes someone who has not yet experienced their first romantic kiss—implying sexual inexence or naivety more broadly.

The phrase often appears with age to emphasize how long someone has waited: She's twenty-five and never been kissed.

It can be literal or suggest general inexperience with romance or intimacy.
