I dunno, creepy appearance aside, it gets that reputation from it's even creepier dex entries, hence the horror games and general infamy. So between hypno's serial kidnappings and drowzee having a penchant for literally sniffing out sleeping victims, the reputation is very well deserved.
Most of its dex entries just talk about how it can induce sleep/hypnosis with its pendulum, the only ones that alude to kidnappings are the one that says that there was once an incident in which it took away a child it hypnotized (first used on the game where that was an event) and the one where it says it carries off anyone it puts to sleep having a good dream.
Meanwhile over half of Gothorita's dex entries talk about how it hypnotizes people, particulary children and spirits them away on starry nigths, and then there are the likes of Drifloon and large size Gourgeist that not only kidnap children but also drag them to the afterlife, overall I would say it gets a worst rep that it probably deserves compared to the things other Pokémon are said to do.
As for the main question of the thread, not particulary, although I don't tend to feel that kind of attraction usually, so that´s that.
