sex + bomb
This is a straightforward noun-noun compound: 'sex' (relating to sexuality) combined with the informal sense of 'bomb' as 'extremely excellent' yields 'extremely sexually attractive.' The meaning follows a regular compounding and intensifying pattern that a B1 learner who knows both constituent senses can reliably infer.
Etymology
The phrase sex bomb puts together sex, meaning sexual attraction, and bomb, meaning a sudden strong blast. Imagine someone's looks entering a room like an explosion that makes everyone notice. That's why it means 'a very sexually attractive person'.
