intercourser

When Congress in March 1809 abandoned the complete embargo and partial non-importation, and sub- stituted a complete ban on commercial intercourse with the French and British Empires, Schenck seized twenty intercoursers in 1809, and twenty-three in 1810.

Thus, though he went with a procession of women, his behavior with them led him to see that "I am not an intercourser," a phrase which he then wore out until it lost its meaning
