* In ''VideoGame/Warhammer40000RogueTrader'', the romance with your [[SpaceElves Eldar]] companion Yrliet takes this form. She HatesBeingTouched and carries some FantasticRacism towards humans, but even after [[IfItsYouItsOk making an exception for you]] your connection is emotional rather than physical.

* Jadzia in ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'''s "Soldiers of the Empire" says that she and Worf are this while voyaging aboard a Klingon warship. As they had copulated in another episode, it seems to imply that they were fasting because of the needs of Klingon military discipline rather than being a Chastity Couple regularly.

Not to be confused with SexlessMarriage. In a sexless marriage, we're meant to understand that one or both partners ''do'' want sex, and the fact that they don't is connected with relationship problems and results in dissatisfaction. In contrast, a Chastity Couple is content to have a relationship that doesn't involve sex. Also not to be confused with SleepingSingle. In television from the 1930s to the 50s it was common to depict a husband and wife sleeping in their own single beds separated by a nightstand, but most of the time this was understood to be merely a convention of censorship. Its purpose was simply to avoid showing the couple in a suggestive situation, and other evidence such as pregnancy and kids could still indicate that their marriage wasn't actually chaste.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Literature/TheKeptManOfThePrincessKnight'': Volume 1 reveals that, all innuendos and rumors to the contrary, the [[TheMistress "kept man"]] Matthew has never actually consummated with Arwin the Crimson Princess Knight despite having been her physically affectionate housekeeper and confidant for over a year when the series begins. In fact, Arwin is still a virgin.

Added DiffLines:

* Parodied in one ''Series/ABitOfFryAndLaurie'' sketch, in which Hugh's character states that he and his wife have never had sex, and he finds the whole idea abhorent, which is why he cannot understand why the school is telling his son it's necessary if you want to make a baby.

Contrast this trope with its inversion FriendsWithBenefits, in which two people have sex but not romance, while a chastity couple has romance without sex. Both are subtropes of RomanceAndSexualitySeparation. See also LetsWaitAwhile, where they're simply putting off the next step. Compare to CantHaveSexEver, where a couple might if they could but they can't so they don't. Naturally, most cases of PuppyLove are going to fall under this trope ([[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior hopefully]]).

* Many Christians believe this was the relationship between Mary and Joseph. This is a core dogma of Catholicism (i.e. denying it is c*onsidered heretical), and a standard belief of quite a few other Christian sects, but most Protestant denominations either reject the idea as unlikely or just take no official position on the subject (since the Bible doesn't say). Jesus is explicitly stated to have several siblings in the Bible, though believers in this concept explain them as being born to a prior wife of Joseph's.
