- First Impression
I’m not really one who likes to mix drama and sex, but RandallRivero.com is certainly a place that provides both worlds. The simple website was started by the young twink couple Zack Randall and Derek Rivero, two stunners who have had some success in the industry over the last few years and decided to capitalize on their limited fame by creating a site that mostly features them. For a short while, things seemed to be going pretty well, but as fame dwindled, so did their life together and what is left is a website sort of left in shambles. The good news is that there is still some decent material and any fan of the boys will be pleased by what they encounter. - Navigation
The site is about as basic as it comes, but is clean and well organized allowing the viewer easy access to all of the material. The scenes are listed by episode and provide a thumbnail and a short description to help you get to where you want to go. The site has a brief bio of the boys, and the concept behind the creation of RandallRivero.com, along with a news update that allows subscribers to follow their latest escapades. There isn’t anything too special or fascinating about the layout or the design, but if you are just looking for some cute twink porn, it is a site worth checking out. -
- Content
There are about 48, 20 minute long scenes mostly featuring the boys jacking off with a few duos and guest stars to keep things lively. The scenes are well shot and the sound quality is pretty good, but there are some editing issues that can make watching a full episode a little distracting. Each scenario is accompanied by a small photo layout most of which are well presented and highlight the best parts of the scene. The downloads are quick and can be viewed on Windows Media Player or sent directly to your iPod so you can take the boys on the road. The video blog was never updated, so this is a useless feature, but you can get the latest news sent to your email by subscribing to the site. The site was updating material about once a week, but after the “breakup,” nothing new has been added since late last year. The videos are exclusive to the site, so again if you are fans of either of the guys, this is new material that you won’t be able to view anywhere else. -
- Guys and Sex
The major problem with the site is that most of the scenes only feature one or both of the boys who founded it. After their relationship dissolved, Derek has since attempted to revamp the site under the name Man Avenue. The major reason why is that Zack Randall is absolutely the draw for the viewers. His perfect body, huge uncut cock, and face like an angel are what made him a star. His sex is raw and uninhibited and each scene that he does leaves the viewer wet and wanting more. While Derek is a cute guy, he doesn’t have the star quality that Zack has, and if you are banking on one name to make a website successful, you simply have to have star quality and a dedicated following. The sex is pretty tame in all of the scenes and mostly just features the boys jacking off. While many men could watch Zack all day long, there needs to be some sort of variety to keep you coming back for more and RandallRivero.com just doesn’t have it. Okay, I feel like I am reviewing Days of our Lives, but when the drama outweighs the sex, porn viewers are going to be turned off. -
- Value
At $19.95 a month you aren’t really getting a whole lot of material for your dollar. Again, if you are a fan of either guy, you will be pleased by some of the content, but you can find better work from both men in other places. -
- Overall Impression
I would not recommend this site to porn connoisseur for several reasons. Along with dramatic and unnecessary press releases about their breakup, you get the feeling that the site was sort of a throw away which was trying to capitalize on a fleeting fame that that these guys once had. Who cares? This is porn, so if the sex ain’t hot, no one wants to watch. I like the idea of porn stars using ingenuity to create their own website, but if you can’t leave the drama at the door and make something that viewers will want to see, why even bother? -
- Bottom Line
RandallRivero.com is based on the premise of two porn lovers who wanted to make something that would please their fans. In the end all you get is a lackluster website featuring one hot guy and one cute guy in a mishmash of jack off scenarios with a few extra scenes thrown in just for content that doesn’t ever get off the ground. -
