Morphology
The meaning 'sexual actions or behaviours' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'sex' (sexual activity) with 'activity' (a particular action); the compound simply denotes activities relating to sex. This compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words (despite 'sexual activity' being the more common collocation).
Etymology
The noun sex activity joins sex and activity to make a simple phrase about actions related to sex. It became common in health and school talks where people wanted a clear way to refer to 'sexual actions' or 'behaviours'.
