What's a kirk without a kiss?

I haven't seen every episode of TOS, but everyone I have seen, Captain Kirk has kissed some pretty girl(who usually has funny hair and too much makeup, by modern standards). Whether by love or some psycho alter ego(like in The Enemy Within...poor Janice), kirk never fails an epic lip-lock.


Even when William Shatner was on The Weakest Link, he kissed the hostess.

So, is there an episode where he hasn't?
 
In Amok Time, although he MAY have thought about it, he didn't lip-lock with Spock.

Well, to the best of my recollection, he didn't kiss anyone in these episodes...

Season 1:
"The Man Trap"
"Charlie X"
"Where No Man Has Gone Before"
"The Naked Time"
"Miri"
"The Corbomite Maneuver"
"The Menagerie, Part I"
"The Menagerie, Part II"
"Balance of Terror"
"The Galileo Seven"
"The Squire of Gothos"
"Arena"
"Tomorrow Is Yesterday"
"Space Seed"
"A Taste of Armageddon"
"This Side of Paradise"
"The Devil in the Dark"
"Errand of Mercy"
"The Alternative Factor"
"Operation: Annihilate!"​
Season 2:
"Amok Time"
"Who Mourns for Adonais?"
"The Changeling"
"The Apple"
"The Doomsday Machine"
"Metamorphosis"
"Journey to Babel"
"Friday's Child"
"Obsession"
"Wolf in the Fold"
"The Trouble With Tribbles"
"The Immunity Syndrome"
"Patterns of Force"
"The Omega Glory"
"The Ultimate Computer"
"Assignment: Earth"​
Season 3:
"Spock's Brain"
"The Enterprise Incident"
"And the Children Shall Lead"
"Day of the Dove"
"For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky"
"The Tholian Web"
"The Empath"
"Let That Be Your Last Battlefield"
"That Which Survives"
"The Lights of Zetar"
"The Way to Eden"
"The Savage Curtain"​
Which is more than half. His encounters increased towards the end of the series, but in the beginning TOS wasn't the Shatner-kisses-the-girl show.
 
In "The Empath" Kirk does not kiss Gem, an attractive female humanoid. Perhaps he doesn't like the silent type. ;)
Perhaps he preferred his kissing partners be in the dark about his emotions.

I think Kirk's hottest kiss would be the one in "Mirror, Mirror," with Marlena Moreau.
