Chapter 16 & 17-
The only example of something being "sex" without being sex is in Gone With the Wind when Rhett Butler is drunk and tells Scarlett that he loves her, but it is far from being a pleasant conversation. Scarlett ends the conversation and walks away, but Rhett suddenly runs up behind her and sweeps her into his arms, kissing her violently. He then proceeds to carry her up the staircase, which was said to be able to represent intercourse in chapter 16. The scene ends when they begin their ascent of the staircase, but it is impossible to deny what happened at the top of those stairs behind a closed bedroom door. This scene opens up the fact that Rhett and Scarlett are now lovers, despite Scarlett having been pining for another man up until this point.
