Morphology
The compound is partially compositional: 'skin' evokes nudity and 'flick' is an informal word for a film, so a learner who knows both words can plausibly infer a movie featuring nudity. However, the term is slang and culturally specific (meaning explicitly pornographic), so the exact pragmatic/pejorative sense may not be fully predictable without exposure.
Etymology
Skin flick may come from joining skin, meaning naked bodies, with flick, a casual word for 'movie'. The image of a film full of 'skin' is why it came to mean a 'pornographic movie'.
