No one can tell me anything? Are blue panaque plecos sexable?

They are most likely sexable.
I think the point is more that your picture shows a fish that isn't CLEARLY sexable. I would hazzard a guess of male. But that's not a certainty. Going by the pectoral fins and cheek odontodes, it would be a male - but I don't know these fish well enough to know if the females also have a bit of odontal growth in those places.

Mature males of are readily identifiable. Check out the Cat-eLog pics.

Thanks guys! 
I checked out the pics in the cat e log...I think that I have a female. The "whiskers" on the side of the face aren't long at all.
