Is Randy Blue Live Worth Your Money?

People have been cruising for sex since the beginning of time. Some of the earliest pornographic images and sex toys date back to 33,000 BC, and it's no secret that the men of Ancient Rome were actually huge gay sluts. Every era of human history produces new sexual advancements, but the Internet, ironically enough, is making it easier for us to ditch the toys and get the real thing altogether. Sites across the web are racing to bring us more realistic, cheaper, and more satisfying sex at home, but is it worth it?

Sure, you could head out to the bar and cross your fingers in hopes of finding a PYT to bring home tonight, but that would require actually leaving the house. You own an assortment of Fleshlight products, but that requires too much work (and let's be honest, fucking the Fleshlight between two pillows just makes a mess). You could try fooling around with the new Vstroker, but it lacks the warm hugs and human compassion you were looking for in the first place. If you're brave enough to order in, you can prowl sites like Manhunt and Rentboy—although Manhunt is littered with flakes, and inviting a porn star to your home can be a little too close for comfort. Sites like Cam4 and ChatRoulette are a crapshoot unless there's a submissive slut on the other end, so how do we bridge the gap between them all?

In a world of bountiful sexual services, how do we engage in one-on-one sexual fantasies with real people online?

Meet Randy Blue Live, the new sister site of porn kingpin Randy Blue. While most studios are funneling money into improved equipment and exchange programs, Randy Blue has quietly taken the road-less-traveled and is capitalizing on live sex shows. Appearing online at pre-scheduled times, your favorite RB porn stars are logging on and getting people off nearly every day. The project has become so large that it's now including non-exclusive stars from other sites, as well as pre-approved newcomers.

By purchasing a membership to RBL and adding credits to your account, you can enter the private bedrooms of your favorite stars and spy on them whenever they're live. It's not a totally free show, though—the models are instructed to keep it PG-13 until you're horny enough to choose one of two options: You can request a show using your pre-purchased credits and force a model into a completely private session in which they'll do anything you want, or you can enter a circle jerk. Circle-jerking at RBL is less expensive, but this option gives you less control. In a "circle jerk," you'll get a semi-private show along with others that have entered the circle jerk at a cost.

Making your favorite porn stars do exactly what you want is pretty awesome. RBL is kind of like directing your own porn with the players you want—it's Rentboy for shy people.

Sound too good to be true? It probably is.

RBL's services come at a steep cost, set up through a system that allows you to buy time with "credits" that are sold in complicated packages. Standard packages round out to roughly $6 per minute, and more expensive options ask for up to $500 upfront. It's a hell of a lot cheaper than renting a man on Rentboy—which could cost you up to $350 an hour—and weeds out any awkward situations that might arise while a porn star is inside you. Why deal with the hassle of someone in your house when you can direct your own porn from behind the mask of your computer? It's a voyeur's dream.

So, after all this, we ask ourselves: is it worth it? We say 'hell fucking yes! ' We watch porn because we're voyeurs at heart, so, what could be better than spying on a star we love and telling them what we want to see? It's a concept that's really too big to fail.

Besides, we think anything that gets you off is worth it. And unless you're worthy of landing dudes like Skylar West on your own, renting him on RBL at least once is in your best interest, if only just to say you actually jerked off with Skylar West.
