I'm not even sure if there is a single kiss in the whole chronicle series. But as I said, it was a long time ago.

Tanis doesn't get out of Kit's bed in a lust-induced haze for days, despite her being, you know, plot twist. A few mentions of her ebil promiscuity. And then you have a painfully double-standards discussion of whether Tika is a virgin or is sleeping with every customer ever; later her actual loss of virginity happens. There is elf/dragon sex, too, "after omg I saw her naked and she didn't faint so it must be love". I remember a cringeworthy flashback thing about Raistlin sleeping with one of Caramon's cast-offs, too.
And Laurana's father says she is sharing the beds of aaaallll the male Companions and calls her a whore. Such a nice daddy.
It's all pretty PG, if sexist as hell, but if the standard is no sexual references at all, I thought it was worth mentioning.
(A long time for me, too. But... I was obsessed. I bet you can tell.)
