'couple' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'sex with hoskins repelled' is the wordplay.
'sex' becomes 'it' (a common euphemism).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'hoskins' becomes 'me' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'repelled' says the letters should be written backwards.
'me' back-to-front is 'em'.
'it'+'em'='ITEM'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for item that I've seen before include "One thing on a list" , "Piece of news: unit" , "Individual object" , "Two people widely seen as one?" , "Boyfriend and girlfriend" .)
