As far as heat goes, "hot" is a quite interesting word in the english language. Capsaicin that activates temperature receptors in the mouth gets described as hot even when it doesn't have a high temperature.
Also, beautiful people are described as hot, even though they don't have a high temperature. (These people are often cool at the same time.) People also have hot tempers, hot merchandise (which needs to be fenced), and a huge amount of other hotness.
How about the response they can provoke in viewers? An increase in blood flow may well be hot, given the temperature of one's core vs one's skin.
That's what the OED thinks. Today we've got people who are hot and cool at the same time, though...
