For people in a committed relationship, a list of people with whom they are allowed to have sexual encounters with.
The term comes from the people on the list being "exceptions" to your committed relationship. i.e. "I'm not allowed to have sex with anyone but my girlfriend..... except for Jennifer Aniston"
Both men and women can have exception lists and in most relationships where they're used each person will have their own list.
Typically the people on an exception list are models or celebrities or people whom you would never expect to have a chance to sleep with. Although it is possible to have an exception list naming a co-worker or a friend this would not be common.
