I know what this means, but am not in the habit of expressing it in English.
"Cuerpo con muchas curvas, alta delgada, **morbosa** y juguetona."

sexy/provocative/seductive/erotic
I like all of those options. But perhaps "provocative" conveys the meaning of "morbosa" a tad bit better.
Good luck!

This answer is only valid assuming "morbosa" refers to her body, and not herself (or her personality). In the latter case, I would agree with Lydia's answer.
Good luck!

: yes, I'd go with 'provocative' or 'seductive' here - I think 'erotic' would be too strong

: I would write the add using "sexy". It says it all, and covers both her looks and her personality.

True, but if it's an ad for an Escort Service, sexy might work better. Feliz finde Deborah!

This is a thought
Cuerpo con muchas curvas, alta delgada, **morbosa** y juguetona.
Tall, sleek and curvaceous with a playful zest for life.
What kind of message are you trying to send?
Are you trying to sell sex or potential sex?
An escort service is not supposed to be selling sex. They are supposed to be selling people who go on dates for money without sex.
I would really consider how I would word this because of who may read this ad and what perception they may have. The last thing you want is for the agency to be raided if they are doing more than just providing the service of an escort.
Consider what they are selling and then take it from there.

| It's for what we euphemistically call an escort agency. They are simply expensive prostitutes. They do not work in the USA precisely because of the repressive legislation there. |
