Morphology
The phrase is directly composed from the adverb 'sexually' modifying the adjective 'attractive' to specify that the attractiveness is sexual in nature; a learner who knows both words can readily combine their meanings. This compositional pattern (manner/adverb + adjective) is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English grammar, so the meaning is immediately inferable at B1 level.
Etymology
Sexually attractive joins sexually (about sex) and attractive (literally 'able to pull someone in'). Think of a magnet pulling metal: a person who is sexually attractive seems to 'pull' others with desire, so the phrase means 'appealing in a sexual way'.
