Morphology
chase + poontang
The sense is directly compositional: 'chase' = pursue, plus 'poontang' (slang for sexual partner/sex) yields 'pursue casual sexual encounters.' The construction follows a regular verb + noun pattern, so a learner who knows both constituents can derive the meaning, though note that 'poontang' is coarse slang and often absent from dictionaries which may prevent comprehension for many learners.
Etymology
Chase poontang uses a simple image: chase means to run after and poontang is a rude slang word for 'casual sex'. That's why it means 'to actively seek casual sex'.
