Morphology

sextracurricular + activity

The phrase is a transparent compound/blend of 'sex' + 'extracurricular' modifying the familiar phrase 'extracurricular activity' to indicate sexual activities outside schoolwork; the meaning is directly inferable from those constituents. Even though 'sextracurricular' is nonstandard, the compositional logic is straightforward and would be clear to a B1 learner who knows the parts.

Etymology

Sextracurricular activity probably comes from joining sex and extracurricular activity to make a single idea. It paints the picture of sexual or intimate events and interests that happen outside school work, so the phrase means 'sexual activities or interests pursued outside school'.
