But perhaps what’s hottest about Heated Rivalry is that the wanting doesn’t stop after Shane and Ilya have sex. But Heated Rivalry shows that consent can be direct, confident, and genuinely hot. And during sex, Ilya confirms multiple times that Shane feels okay and wants to continue. Heated Rivalry shows that consent is so much more than asking “Do you wanna have sex?” and then, ya know, having it. If your partner’s into Heated Rivalry, you don’t need to decode every scene like it’s game film.
