The difference being that natural selection selects through killing animals not fit, while sexual selection selects through reducing (or demolishing) the ability of unfit animals to reproduce.

Edit: actually natural selection includes considerations of reproduction, but more mechanistically, while sexual selection comes down to (sometimes arbitrary) decision making on the part of the mate.
