Morphology
sexploitation = sex + exploitation (transparent) = sex + exploitation
The meaning is directly derived from the combination of 'sex' and 'exploitation' (exploitation using sexual content), which is obvious to learners.
Etymology
Sexploitation combines sex and exploitation, where exploitation comes from the idea 'to use' or 'take advantage' for gain. So sexploitation means using sexual images or ideas to get attention or sell things.
