Wrong category! This was a law that prohibited commercial transactions with other countries, that is, commercial intercourse (that term does not mean hiring prostitutes, by the way.)

Commerce and trade is referred to as 'intercourse'. So is talking to someone. This is why when it refers to having sex, it's known as 'sexual intercourse.' The word itself is so charged that you usually have to qualify it if you mean something else.

Mad magazine once did a 'guaranteed non-libelous anti-candidate speech' in which a guy accuses his opponent of 'having intercourse with 7-year-olds,' which is true, because he spoke to them at a school meeting, but gives the wrong idea.
