Of course that would be your result, it is the median use, after the elision
"[sexual] intercourse".
"Intercourse" is not "/sexual/ intercourse": it is just "intercourse". (This should just make it evident, really: if "intercourse" becomes "sexual" after the elision, it is because it is so /only/ after the elision.)
This is speaking the language vs speaking a group's language. If a group bends the language towards some direction, it is that group's business.
When someone uses language, you cannot assume they are speaking the language internal to a group. Do not, because some simply will not. Incidentally, one cannot even guess what kind of branching one's language may get in some region.
And in fact, it is not justifiable that one should use the language of the interlocutor's culture, especially when this is unidentified, instead of just using language.
