The spelling of "sex bunnies" may seem straightforward to native English speakers, but for non-native speakers, it can be confusing. The word "sex" is spelled with the letter "x" rather than "cks" due to its Latin origin. Meanwhile, "bunnies" is spelled with a double "n" because it is a derivative of "bunny," which is pronounced with a short vowel sound, represented as /ʌ/ in IPA phonetic transcription. Therefore, the final word is transcribed as /sɛks ˈbʌniz/.
