How many romantic kisses are there in the entire body of Virginia Woolf's work?

The Kiss (1897-8) by Munch 

Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours, answers in a Guardian article:
[Virginia Woolf] wrote not at all about sex. Her entire body of work contains two romantic kisses – one in The Voyage Out, another in Mrs Dalloway – and after those two relatively early books, no erotic episodes of any kind.  
You should also read Cunningham's brief discussion of teeth and (in)sanity.
