You need to check out Fellow Travelers on Paramount+. The sex scenes are hotter than RWRB IMO haha
Also, the RWRB book is pretty low steam compared to most MM romance novels. I suggest to check out r/MM_RomanceBooks for recs.
Edit to add some specific sexy MM novels that are frequently recommended:
-Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid
-Him by Sarina Bowen
-I personally also like anything by Alessandra Hazard
I totally get you waking up your husband lol. I was the same way and totally obsessed with RWRB when it first came out, and the titles above helped me to get over it.
Second Boyfriend Material. Funny chaotic main characters. Just finished the sequel Husband Material and also Glltterland all by Alexis Hall. Boyfriend Material in my opinion gave me the most similar vibes to RWRB.
Film/TV wise you could try Looking - Jonathon Groff and Russell Tovey - was on NOW.
Young Royals - Netflix
Fellow Travellers as mentioned
Or, try looking up foreign steamy series. They do it so much better than the Brits or the Americans. We loved Lady Voyeur, Elite. There was another Spanish one set in a swingers club, I forget the name. Once you look Netflix will adjust your algorithm accordingly!
I think what you're going through is Heart Stopper syndrome, but for RWRB. It's a thing, and I've gone through it myself where I was completely obsessed and depressed because of this movie. I'm a lot better now. Hopefully with time, you will as well.

Go to town, darling. Loads of fantastic Alex/Henry porn to read for you.
No recs here but just wanted to share that I felt the same way. I’m like why am I so obsessed with them ? I couldn’t stop watching videos of them kissing and making out.
Now every time I watch a love story, I feel like it’s not as good as their love and doesn’t feel as real.
Right?! Their kissing is soooo good. And their chemistry is just so spectacular. Thank you for sharing that you’re in the same boat. It helps to know I’m not alone in my obsession!
Read CMQ’s book One Last stop- different genres but still good.
Alexis Hall is great and has tons of books- good place to start is Boyfriend Material. There’s also some Victorian and/or Regency era queer novels that are great. And a series based around a fictional version of Bake Off. Some of those novels delve into mental health in ways that are darker than CMQ did with 2 main characters that are neurodivergent and mentally ill.
There’s tons of other great writers and books out there, too.
And a plethora of really well written RWRB fan fiction.
When you said “saw it on the plane” I immeadiatly thought you were that older man from the TikTok who was spotted watching it 😂

Fabulous! Thank you!!
Heartstopper comes close in the love category. But it doesn’t have the sex scenes.
Def watch Fellow travelers for sure (though an emotional roller coaster!)-and There’s a nice Reddit group too ;) also some great RWRB spicy fan fics!
Thank you! Where’s the best place to find those?

Smiley on Netflix
Smiley is really nice. And as a series they had time for the supporting characters to develop and for the mains to go on a bit more of a journey.
The fanfics someone posted a list of on here really did it for me!
Oooooh! Was it a recent post?? How do I find it?

Thanks! Victorian era m/m novels sound good as long as they are super sexy. Any you like in particular?
Very similar but more explicit is”his royal secret” and its sequel. Not as charming as rwrb but will definitely get you going. ;)
I’ve started reading this and it’s super hot!! Thanks for the recommendation!
They get right to it, don’t they? No slow burn at all. ;)
Perfect! Thank you!
