Morphology
The phrase conveys a numeric measure related to sex and this basic idea is derivable from combining 'sex' (sexual activity/partners) with 'number' (how many). However, 'sex number' is not a standard collocation in English and is somewhat ambiguous (could refer to times one has had sex or number of partners), so a B1 learner may not infer the precise intended sense without prior exposure.
Etymology
Sex number likely comes from the simple idea of treating sex as something you can count, with number showing how many partners someone has had. So, sex number means the 'number of sexual partners' a person has had.
