I have read "I kissed Dating Goodbye", "When Boy Meets Girl" (the sequel) and "I Gave Dating A Chance" as I was going through my younger teen years. The main message is that your heart is not a trivial thing - every relationship you have has an effect on you, and taking care to choose those more intimate relationships so that you do not crash and burn.
The No Kissing part is admirable in the sense that it means the persons are engaging in their relationship at a higher level - as someone once told me, "you're lovers 9% of the time, friends the other 91%". If you can't have a solid relationship NOT entirely based on the physical, it makes me wonder what in the relationship will allow it to grow.
That said, I think sexual chemistry is just as important as emotional and mental connections - if two people have VERY different expectations, and those are not talked, addressed, and resolved, it is bound to be an issue in the course of the relationship. Completely pretending the sexual side does not exist is to be foolish.
