Compared to them, Johnson's a hilarious & charming adonis.
I have some slight knowledge of this, as I used to play cards with Adonis when we were both students.
So I am reasonably confident in asserting that adding hilarious and charming to Andrew Adonis would still leave you a long way from Boris Johnson. Big items would include removing the train-spotter and adding the dishonesty.
I was also slightly acquainted at that time with Venus, Ms S Venus that would be. But she was in the Labour party, while Adonis was a Lib Dem in those days. So they made no connection.

How could you and your friends fail to set them up? Shameful!

I am intrigued by what the bunch of blokes discussing this here will conclude...
I’ve not had anything like the sexual success of Boris, and it possibly is for want of trying. At least partly anyway. And if we define “success” as how many partners one has had rather than how long you’ve stayed with them. I think I’d beat him by that measure, though it’s a low bar.

now I sin till ten past three
As Woodchopper says above, part of the answer is probably that Johnson hits on a huge number of women. That's an inescapable part of finding the maximum number of people who want to sleep with you.
The downside is that in most contexts it's pretty inappropriate up to borderline abusive. Note that Johnson doesn't seem to have many women working closely with him.
So the titular question is a bit loaded. It may seem like lots of women want to f.ck Boris Johnson, but as a percentage of women he propositions it could well be that he has less success than the average bloke.
We have the right to a clean, healthy, sustainable environment.
I assume that he has what they call a Marmite personality.
i.e. there's a significant risk of a yeast infection.

This place is not a place of honor, no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here, nothing valued is here.
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.
This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.
OK. As we're now there. I was going to mention that that car-crash ch4 defence of BJ by ND had all the hallmarks of a schoolgirl being caught out on her crush for her new boyfriend. I was going to say then that (within then realm of comedy memes) those two are at it donchano, but didn't cos of it being beyond fair comment and likely libelous.
But now...

It certainly wouldn't be libelling Johnson to accuse him of having an affair with Dorries. For it to be libel, you have to be harming someone's reputation. As for Dorries, well, she is a single woman and even though you or I might find him as attractive as a gone-off blancmange, clearly many tory women think differently, so it would surely be a reasonable defence to say that there is no harm to her reputation & thus no libel.

I doubt it though, I mean, she's older than half Johnson's age plus 7.
