I met a white guy who said this in relation to cutting his biracial son’s hair, despite knowing the boy’s mom was especially proud of his hair and explicitly said she did not want his hair cut.
Bear in mind, this guy left his wife to take care of their son for 2 years while he "went his own way" and justified it by saying he provided them with ample financial support (he did).
Anyway, long story short he waited until his wife went to see her mother and he shaved the kid’s hair. He told me as he was doing it and I successfully predicted the divorce that proceeded the haircut. Never talked to that guy again because it drove me nuts how he was married to a Black woman and was so absolutely clueless about things of cultural importance.
I’ve never seen anyone use that phrase in relation to sex or interpersonal relationships.

Did the kid want his hair cut? That seems like the most important consideration and is totally absent.
