I believe the answer is:

harissa

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'share kiss both naked with sex appeal' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'it's hot stuff' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'hot' could be 'h' and 'h' is found within the answer.
'it' could be 'sa' (old-fashioned abbreviation for sex appeal) and 'sa' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'aris' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for harissa that I've seen before include "Hot North African sauce" , "Hot paste used in North African cuisine -- ass hair (anag)" , "Spicy sauce" .)
