Morphology
sex + pact
The meaning 'an agreement about engaging in sexual activity' is directly and compositionally derived from 'sex' (sexual activity) + 'pact' (an agreement). Although 'pact' is somewhat formal and the topic may be taboo, the noun‑noun compositional pattern is straightforward and cross‑linguistically common, so a learner who knows both constituents can infer the meaning.
Etymology
Sex pact comes from putting together sex and pact. Imagine friends making a secret promise or handshake to have sex by a certain time, so the phrase means 'an agreement to have sexual activity'.
