Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'anal' specifies relation to the anus and 'sex' denotes sexual activity, so a learner who knows both words will infer sexual intercourse involving the anus. This is an anatomical, literal combination following standard noun-noun composition and similar constructions exist in many languages, making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Anal sex is a simple, descriptive phrase: anal refers to the body part 'anus' and sex means 'sexual activity', so the term names sexual activity that involves that part.
