No. This is the hypothetical final stage of a white dwarf, after it cools down so much that it doesn't have a significant amount of energy left. This cooling down takes a long, long time, and white dwarves have not yet have the time to cool down that much (that is to say, the Universe is too young yet to have black dwarves).

Are black dwarfs hot?

Black dwarfs by their name are the opposite of hot. A black dwarf becomes a black dwarf when all residual heat has escaped into space. They will be as cold as space itself. See related question. If this is not an astronomy question but one of "another sexual" nature then I suggest re posting with more precise details in the question.
