Morphology

cushion + for + the + pushin'

The sexual meaning ('a soft place for intimate/sexual activity') cannot be derived from the literal constituents: 'cushion' (soft padding) + 'for' (purpose) + 'pushin'' (colloquial 'pushing'). Knowing the words literally, a B1 learner would likely interpret this as a place for general pushing or sitting; the slang/dialectal sexual sense requires cultural and idiomatic knowledge, so it is not predictable from the parts.

Etymology

Cushion for the pushin' creates a simple picture: a soft cushion used for the pushin', the pushing movement during 'having sex'. That's why it means 'a soft, comfortable place for sexual activity'.
