sexual relation (plural sexual relations)

1. (idiomatic, chiefly in the plural) Behaviour of a sexual nature between one or more individuals.
   • 1890, James George Frazer, The Golden Bough, volume 2, page 358:

     It would be easy to prove by a long array of facts that the sexual relation is associated in the primitive mind with many serious perils; but the exact nature of the danger apprehended is still obscure.
