You might also check out Mary Robinette Kowal's Lady Astronaut series, starting with "The Calculating Stars". I haven't read that one, but I've read a couple of her other books/series (which don't fit your "no magic" requirement). She's a very good writer, and based on her writing style from what I have read, it would surprise me if there are sex scenes there.
The only implied sex in The Calculating Stars is between a married couple and it is not described in any detail. I believe, given my parochial school education, that it might fit what OP is looking for. Good call hildea.
