BL recommendations for romance without explicit smut [RECOMMENDATIONS]

NSFWRecommendation Request

Hey all,

I have no judgement for those who enjoy reading BL with smut, but it's not my cup of tea. However, I am looking for recommendations for stories with attractive adults (read: not high school) that show affection but doesn't lead to uncensored sex scenes every other chapter.

I'll get recommended BL like Therapy Game but that has a lot of smut. I think the most I really care for in a story is like the limited sex scene in Love for Sale or when it is censored and a small but impactful part of the story like in After We Gazed at the Starry Sky or Touched by the Abyss.

What I'm more interested in is adult relationships that show romance and physical affection without going to smut in a lot of chapters. Again, no judgement, it's just not for me. Seems hard to find though in the sea of BL's. Any recommendations? Thank you :)
