Nosebleed is shorthand for lust or lustful thoughts

There's a saying in Japan: if a guy looks at a pretty woman, he'll get a nosebleed.
It probably comes from the fact that sometimes people blush when they see an attractive person and all that blood rushing to one's head could conceivably cause a blood vessel to explode.
If this kind of thing interests you, there's a book called The Anime Companion (by Gilles Poitras) with hundreds of explanations for such mysterious things in anime.

i think it has to do with the fact that, on average, the blood pressure goes up when a person is thinking about naughty/sexual thoughts, which can lead to a nosebleed
