One reason I've always liked Doctor Who is because the Doctor isn't sexy. He/She's not some pouting, posturing, bland typical lead. If he was, then we wouldn't be enjoying Doctor Who's 54th year, in my view. The Doctor isn't sexy and his mode of transport isn't some hi-tech, spectacular 'spaceship' (not on the outside anyway); in fact very little about the show is typical of anything other than itself. The closest we've come to a sexy Doctor might well be David T, and even that was in a self-confessed 'geek/chic' kind of way.
This is all purely my opinion of course.

A couple of remarks -
* Physical beauty (or handsomeness) is not the same as sex appeal. * is it that people think the Doctor himself sexy? Or are his individual incarnations sexy? Or are the actors who play him sexy? And does any of the above apply to Jodie Whittaker, who hasn't exactly had much to do in the role so far?

Various characters thought 10 was sexy.

Don't think Tennant started it all. I can't imagine no-one fancied Peter Davison back in the day. But this sort of topic is very in the eye of the beholder - both in- and out-of-universe. I'm sure there are some fans out there who have a thing for Hartnell.
Basically I think the only answer you can give to this question is "Sometimes, to some people." True of most everyone, though, isn't it?

I know my Girlfriend watched Tennant because he was hot. It's a perfectly valid reason, adds to the ratings. Agreed..I am one to have added to the ratings initially due to this reason
