Caught, embarrassed, facing sex's attributes (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

credits

'attributes' is the definition.
(crediting is a kind of attributing)

'caught embarrassed facing sex's' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'embarrassed' becomes 'red' (someone may blush or go red when embarrassed).
'facing' says to put letters next to each other.
'sex's' becomes 'it's' (common euphemism).
'c'+'red'+'its'='CREDITS'

(Other definitions for credits that I've seen before include "Entries on the payments received side of accounts" , "Believes" , "Last items of a film" , "Attributes or renders due acknowledgment" , "Film's final sequence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
