Morphology
ultimate + cockteaser
The core meaning — someone who sexually provokes others — is largely derivable from the parts (implicitly 'cock' + 'teaser') and 'ultimate' simply intensifies that quality, so a learner who knows the constituents can infer a basic provocative sense. However, 'cockteaser' is colloquial/taboo slang and the specific pragmatic nuance that the person has no intention of reciprocating (and the social/pejorative force) is not fully predictable from the words alone, making full comprehension uncertain for a B1 learner.
Etymology
The phrase ultimate cockteaser puts together cock (a rude slang word for a man's private part) and teaser (someone who teases). Imagine a person who flirts and excites others but always pulls away, so it means 'someone who provokes sexual interest without intending to act'.
