unkissed
Never been smooched
Unkissed describes someone or something that has never been kissed, or has not been kissed in a particular context.
It often carries romantic or wistful connotations, suggesting innocence or missed opportunity: She remained unkissed throughout her teenage years.
The word appears most frequently in poetry and literary contexts, where it evokes longing or untouched purity.
It can also describe objects metaphorically, as in unkissed by sunlight.
