sex-grenade

noun. Sex bomb.

Real citation: "What makes the issue extra nice is two friends and someone closer than a friend have articles in the issue. Holly Brubach, writing about that teenage Italian sex-grenade whose memoir was a bestseller in Europe; Suzanna Andrews on Huntington Hartford, the debonair millionaire who was leading a Trump lifestyle when The Donald was still in diapers; and a beautiful piece about fragrance designer Jo Malone, whose Black Vetyver Cafe cologne I dab lightly on my wrists whenever I need Inspiration."
(James Wolcott, "VF-ARAMA," Nov. 8, 2004, http://jameswolcott.com/archives/2004/11/vfarama.php)

Made-up citation: "I've never dated a sex-grenade, but I have dated a few sex-pepper-sprays."
