Review date: July 2023

Randy Blue has been online since 2002 and was a gay porn power house for many year. Updates petered out in 2017, but in 2022 the site relaunched under new management and it now offers over 1400 videos. Sadly the updates only lasted a year before petering out again. Then in July 2023 it re-re-launched with the promise of new updates every week.

Tour

Randy Blue's tour provides a full preview of the content on offer, with links to the Scenes and Models indexes, and plenty of free video clips.

Usability

The site design is straightforward, with the homepage highlighting recent content and clear links to the Scene, Model and Photos indexes. There's a general search box as well as topical tags for each video. You can sort videos and models by recency or popularity. However, the photos section could use some improvements.

The Men and the Action

In its heyday, Randy Blue attracted very good looking models in the 18-30 age range from all over the United States, including many of the top porn stars. The solos scenes usually introduce new models and the hardcore scenes (about two-thirds of the total) match guys up in duos or threesomes. You'll see a few toys, some bareback, and a bit of double penetration and light kink but nothing too heavy or kinky.

The most popular models have appeared in a number of videos over the years, particularly some of the lavishly produced Randy Blue epics that were released with much publicity and fanfare. There have now been more than 700 guys starring in solo and hardcore scenes shot indoors and out, in all sorts of locations

Before going on hiaitus, the site was adding European content as updates, which didn't really work. With the 2022 relaunch, the site has gone back to its American roots and the recent videos star some known, but not overexposed, names.

Video Details

The viewing quality of Randy Blue videos is generally very good, especially those rendered in HD. Camera work, light and sound are topnotch throughout -- and the money shots are never missed.

At review time there were 700 models appearing in over 1440 videos. Weekly updates started up again when the site relaunched in late 2022 but they only lasted a few months. Then in July 2023 they started up again on a regular weekly basis.

Videos are available to stream and download in MP4 format, usually in three or four qualities. However the site incorrectly labels video qualities. The oldest one-third of the videos are, understandably, in standard definition. But the site mislabels these 640x480p videos as "720p." In the newest two-thirds of the collection, the site mislabels 836x470p videos as "720p"; and 960x540p videos are labelled "1080p". There are 720p HD (3500 kbps) videos available to download, but these are simply labelled "HD." This should be fixed.

The very newest videos (since the late 2022 relaunch) are available in three qualities, the best being 1920x1080p HD (10000 kbps).

Screens: The website is fully responsive and works well on phones and tablets. The high-definition versions of most of the videos look good on the big screen.


Image and Other Content

There are over 1150 digital photo galleries on the site. The images are great quality, but average size (1024x768 pixels). Navigation is minimal: click thumbnail, look at picture, click back, click next thumbnail, etc.

When Cancelling

This site does not have an automated and instant way to cancel and does not even have a custom help page for cancelling. You have to submit a Help request through its general Help page, and then you receive an automated email that asks for your username, first and last name on the account, billing zip/postal code, and the last 4 digits of your credit card. Even so, they did provide a confirmation of our subscription cancellation within a few hours of our initial request.

Summing Up

Randy Blue is a treasure trove of handsome, masculine men in very good quality exclusive videos and photos. The site now appears to be updating on a weekly basis again.
