Never heard of it. "Pull it off" is everyday English for "manage to do
it", so if I had to guess I'd say "bring-off" means "achievement".

Never heard it used that way, but when we "bring off" something we
accomplish something: He was hired to bring off an increase in sales.
The way you've used it, though, sounds like "bring-off" is used to

My interpreation was that "bring-off" is sexual, a reference to orgasm,
possibly that of the man.

I feel that the "achievement" interpretation is probably sufficient. I
suppose you could use something like "a nice pull" in the same way. To
"pull" a bird or a bloke might simply mean that you "got off with" them,
but didn't necessarily have your full wicked way. On the other hand, it
might!

"Bring off" can be slang for "cause to have an orgasm". See for
example

(not suitable for work or many other places), and compare "get off",
I haven't seen the noun "bring-off" before, but the speaker means she

course, might be either.

But he was a him by assumption before I even started that sentence.
