> refer to #1 sense
If you mean that 发生关系 is only used in sexual contexts, that's not true.
- 引導孩子與世界發生關係
- 台灣跟大陸最早發生關係是在澎湖群島

However, in that sort of usage, 發生關係 can be considered compositional, I think, whereas the sexual sense is lexicalized.
Diff:
- 發生關係 发生关系 [fa1 sheng1 guan1 xi5] /to have sexual relations with sb/to have dealings with/
# + 發生關係 发生关系 [[fa1sheng1 guan1xi5]] /to have sexual relations with sb/
 
+ 發生關係 发生关系 [[fa1sheng1 guan1xi5]] /to have sex with sb/
