It looks like sexmex.com has been sending traffic to 8th st Latinas since about 2007 or 2008.
It looks like SEXMEX.XXX and the EXPO SEXMEX were registered as Trademarks in Mexico in 2013.

So it would appear to me that SEXMEX.com might have a common law claim to the Trademark SEXMEX in at least the U.S. if not Internationally because the U.S. trademark for SEXMEX was abandoned in 2004.
The OP can do whatever he wants but he would be best off treading lightly lest someone nail him for infringing on the trademark by regging the SEXMEX.xxx.
Just for reference, while I was doing research a while back a lawyer advised me that you never want to trademark the whole domain name (with the extension) but you do want to trademark the base name. Otherwise the base name is not protected only the version with the extension is protected.
All imho of course.
