"I haven't felt this alive since I was a One Direction fangirl in middle school," my roommate told me over drinks last week. She was talking, of course, about the only thing literally anyone wants to talk about right now: the Horny Gay Hockey Show also known as Heated Rivalry.
It could not be less of a secret that the steamy Canadian series has taken over everything from TikTok to the minds, hearts, and fantasies of seemingly every woman alive since making its way to HBO Max late last month. But while the sexy streaming hit—an adaptation of the 2019 romance novel by Rachel Reid—certainly isn't the first to dominate the discourse and attract a loyal and horny fanbase, something about the whirlwind, overnight fanfare surrounding Heated Rivalry just feels…different.
From TikTok to group chats to brunch tables and beyond, Heated Rivalry fans—many of them straight women—are gushing over the show with a frenetic enthusiasm that makes you wonder if it's laced with something other than hot gay sex. |
