Geschlecht normally means "sex/gender", you'll find it on every passport without meaning "genital".

Verkehr also means intercourse, like in social contact.

It's a pretty formal word best translated as "sexual intercourse" and actually needs the same amount of space

Geschlechtsverkehr
sexual intercourse

Please note that it's not that hard to decode because the "s" was inserted to glue the two words.

(compare Sankt Petersburg which becomes "Sankt Peterburg" (Санкт-Петербу́рг) in Russian.)

German is very constructive, even kids can intuitively decipher words which are normally Latin/Greek monsters in English or French.

like hypoglycemic = unterzuckert (under sugared)

I stand corrected. My german is truly rusty....

No worries, all these meanings of Geschlecht are confusing,

I suppose they come from loan translating Latin "genus".

And indeed long compounds are a real problem when swiping on a mobile device ;)
