Morphology
The adjective 'sexual' directly modifies 'relationship' to indicate a relationship that involves sexual intimacy; both constituent words retain their literal meanings and combine in a predictable, compositional way. This is a common, cross-linguistically transparent modifier-noun construction that a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand.
Etymology
Sexual relationship comes from the words sexual (about 'have sex') and relationship (a connection between two people). So it means a relationship where the people also 'have sex'.
