I've never thought that clicking on a story implied guaranteed sex, regardless of whether it's het or slash. All I expect of slash is that there be attraction by one person towards another person of the same gender. It doesn't have to be reciprocated, it doesn't have to draw any conclusion, but the attraction must be there to qualify slash. Otherwise it's genfic, which is fine, but it isn't slash.
If it's rated NC-17/Adult and DOSEN'T contain sex, or contains a passing reference to sex, THAT irritates me. It isn't a big part of this discussion, but it's a pet peeve that's been popping up a lot lately. Basically, though, I think you can write whatever the hell you want as long as it's labeled clearly. PG slash is fine, NC-17 slash is fine, slash labeled NC-17 with nary a kiss to be found not so fine.
