Gay Porn Site Reviews

Review date: November 2009

It's always a pleasure to check in on Randy Blue , whose site is bursting with well over 900 high-quality exclusive videos and image sets, 120 archived live shows, and plenty of bonus content. The Randy Blue combination of stunning men, technical brilliance, surfer-friendly design and frequent updates sets a gold standard for gay adult sites. And Randy has loosened up his licensing restriction on downloaded videos: if you remain a member for 60 days you'll be able to view any downloaded videos for as long as you like.

The Men and the Action

What distinguishes the "best" from the rest? In addition to hot men in sexy, high quality movies, a site's personality can make the difference. And the colorful and intimate descriptions of the men and episodes on Randy Blue definitely do exude personality. They're written by the man who started the site, whose name really is Randy, and who has an uncanny knack for recruiting handsome, fit studs.

The models are what we would describe as young hunks. They range in age from 18-30, with the majority in their 20s. They're carefully chosen -- well-built but not huge. There is some sexy stubble, and some lightly furred chests and asses. Many of the guys are white, some are Latino, and there are a few black and Asian guys in the mix. A lot of thought has been put into setting up and executing the video sessions, shot mostly indoors in luxurious surroundings, with languid self-pleasuring solos, or the building intensity of duo and group sessions. More than a few of the guys play well with toys.

It's impossible to pick a favorite from all the masculine studs featured on the site, but there are a number that Randy has chosen for repeat appearances, so in addition to newbies every week you'll find a chosen few that you'll get to know better. Lately there are some super-horny younger guys like Brett Swanson and Topher Dimaggio. And don't forget the lavish mini-movies such as the 2009 Halloween epic: "When A Stranger Cums". This hilarious, sexy, HD video takes web-based porn to a level you've never experienced before

Video Details

At review time there were almost 340 models appearing in more than 920 videos. About one third of the videos are duos or groups, pairing up the models in often highly anticipated combinations. This huge site is updated with exclusive video three times a week. There are some DRM restrictions, but the long and the short of it is if you remain a member of the site for sixty days you have full access to all of your downloaded videos for as long as you like.

There are numerous options for viewing videos. The following specs apply to the most recent 1/3 of videos, which are in high-definition: Windows Media download/stream (2,000 kbps; 960x540 pixels) Flash downloads (2,000 kbps; 960x540 pixels); to use this option you must install a custom "Belator Media Player"; this nifty player allows you to manage video downloads and can even be set to automatically download new content as it becomes available. Flash streams (2,000 kbps; 850x480 pixels) have an added feature of displaying small video capture images at the bottom of the screen so you can skip to exactly the spot you want to in the video. Windows and Flash downloads are available in three to four speeds and sizes to suit your system needs. The older 2/3 of videos are available in the same formats, but aren't high-def, maxing out at 1,000 kpbs, playing in a 640x480 window.

The quality of Randy Blue's video is among the best anywhere, and the recent videos are in stunning HD. These hot young men get the attention they deserve as they perform in solos, duos, and groups for us, mostly in the lush surroundings of the Randy Blue studios. Camera work, light and sound are excellent throughout -- and the money shots are never missed.

Image and Other Content

Some websites don't put much care into photos, but Randy Blue is different. Because his background is in photography, his professional quality digital photosets -- over 1,000 -- are second to none. They can be viewed in two different sizes and either one at a time or in slideshow mode - and there's a cool "zoom" feature that allows you to inspect these hotties even closer.

The live shows are another great feature of Randy Blue, and offer a more personal look at many of Randy's top models. These are some of the best quality live shows we've seen. There are three new shows every week and they are all archived, so you won't miss anything.

Members of Randy Blue also get access to a generous selection of additional video content. The DVD section consists of over 90 hand-picked high quality, hardcore movies from a variety of studios, with new scenes added regularly. The movies have been integrated with the rest of the site so that you have the same navigation, speed and format choices as you do for the site's exclusive content.

Randy Blue really does not need to have a bonus content section, but it offers one anyway: this area provides seventeen thematic video feeds, most from VOD giant AEBN And don't forget your free membership to AmateurJerkoff.com

Summing Up

Randy Blue is a treasure trove of handsome, masculine men in extremely high-quality exclusive video, photos and live shows, all in a user-friendly and attractively designed package. We recommend it highly.
