For the Heated Rivalry fans who have found themselves daydreaming about the steamy romance series’ stars whispering smutty little somethings in their ears late at night: you needn’t wonder anymore.
There's an app that delivers on that fantasy for a mere $7.99 a month.
The audio erotica app Quinn has savvily leveraged horny fandoms and hired some of the small screen’s most desired leading men (and a few women) to voice some of its original erotic audio stories. The app, which was founded in 2021 by Caroline Spiegel, now boasts a growing lineup of TV-stars-turned-dirty-talkers including Heated Rivalry's Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie.
Storrie and Williams both voice Quinn’s Ember & Ice story, playing hot-and-bothered feuding fae princes. But they’re not the only boldface names doing a vocal striptease for the app's listeners: Fleabag’s “hot priest” Andrew Scott and Stranger Things’ villain Jamie Campbell Bower also voice popular erotic stories for Quinn. Other stars who’ve contributed their voices and dreamy credibility to the site include Chris Briney (The Summer I Turned Pretty), Jessie Williams (Grey's Anatomy) and Manny Jacinto (The Good Place).
The audio tales are reportedly written by the app’s many erotica creators (you can even apply to be one if you're a budding smut scribe), and the stories play with popular erotica and romantasy tropes that are directed at the listener as target of all that teasing and petting.
If you’re wondering what floats the most boats on Quinn, it’s currently Scott’s The Queen’s Guard series, which is listed as the most replayed series. Curious about what‘s behind its appeal? Fortunately, there are handy bullet points appended to the series description that offer some clues about what you’re getting in your headphones. According to the description, the series drills down on “enemies-to-lovers” arcs, so expect “begging” and throne “fingering” but a coy waiting game before the big show (i.e. there's no “penetration” until Episode 3).
Hot Priest attraction aside, if that description isn’t enticing you to tune in and turn on, the app also has a handy glossary of kink-centric acronyms to help guide your listening choices. Happy listening!
