If you mean "no graphic sex" a bit wider, some of the books I suggested might not be a good fit. As others have mentioned, there's some sex in Bujold's books. The Sharing Knife series has some non-explicit sex scenes of some length (very romantic and sweet, and emphasising the huge difference between sex between people who care about and trust each other, versus sex with someone who doesn't deserve trust and only wants to get off).
Others of Bujold's books have some short, but very un-detailed descriptions of sex, typically a few sentences, like:
