- No, they are not the same. But I'd have to think very carefully before I can explain the difference. "Explicit" means "stated clearly or precisely," and when talking about sex, it means "describing or representing sexual activity in a direct and detailed way."
- Something that is "explicitly [that's an adverb] sexual" means something that is "clearly sexual". Something that is "sexually explicit" means something different.
