Do you have any recs for shows/movies with high heat? I've already seen tharntype and why r u. Anything else? I'll gladly take any tips I get!
Okay so almost nothing gets quite as exposing/long running as FighterTutor in Why R U? except maybe some of the ones out of Japan, and they usually end dark. These tends to be less sexy and more there for the shock value. The next level will be the stuff from Taiwan and it comes with stories that use problematic tropes and trigger warnings but the heat is really quite good.
I am not going to rank any of these in order here, but I include my rating because it will tell you how I felt about the story. Also the lower the rating the more likely it ends unhappy.
I rate heat out of 0-3, and it's kinda subjective. Sometimes a high school set BL like Takumi-kun gets a 3 because it's so unusual to get sexytimes depicted for that type of BL. While a non-BL dark Japanese drama, like the Pornographer series, also gets a 3 and it is VERY explicit (but I expect that from Japan and this kind of drama).
All this to say, I divided it by country because high heat in BL is also a matter of the production house's location to a certain extent.
I put an (explicit) rating on anything that has a higher heat level than Why R U?
Are we ready for this? All my 3/3 heat rated BLs...
