Everyone into glamour porn, pinups and girlie mags will have heard of Penthouse. One of the world's favourite top-shelf magazines, it's now one of the world's favourite porn sites, and rightly so. Filled with videos, photos, stories, articles and more, it's a one-stop-shop for all things glamour porn-related. Since we last reviewed it, it has stocked its shelves with more top models, more hardcore and solos, and now it's even better value for money. The amazing quality standards continue.
Penthouse used to be one of those magazines you kept under the bed, but now it's available to every adult online, and it's looking fine. Last time we saw it, it was already well-stocked and looking good, but as that was a while ago, we've come back to catch up on what's new. I'm pleased to tell you, Penthouse is now better than ever and thriving. They're still doing daily updates, sometimes adding more than one photo set or video, and there's even more to see and do.
For a start, there's a model index with 2,800 girls now, and among them are glamorous and gorgeous newbies, and plenty of top names we recognise. Dillon Harper and India Summer are among the member's top favourites, along with Violet Summers and Gabbie Carter. Each girl has her own page with stats and info, interview questions and images, plus, there are links directly to her movies and galleries.
The video content can be filtered so you can see what's new (which comes out as all videos in date order), behind the scenes movies, Penthouse Confidential videos and 3D movies where you'll need 3D glasses to view. The movie content is a mix of solos, lesbian scenes and hardcore. These are beautifully shot movies where the guys tend to be 30s or 40s, muscular, fit and hung, and where the girls are just as glamorous while being fucked or analized as they are when posing naked. Thee are scenario scenes, erotic build-ups and simple duo sex scenes, but there are also groups, and a category list helps you filter.
Movies can be streamed in 480p or 720p HD, and there are four download options in Mp4, with 1,920 x 1,080 HD available plus mobile format files. Movies run for around 20 minutes each, and you're currently looking at a total of over 3,870.
Penthouse started with photos, of course, and you've got 8,231 galleries to play with, found in their own area and where the quality is exactly as you would expect. High-class and professional. The galleries are organised into the latest shoots, Penthouse Pets and Vault Galleries. These are the older sets from the 90s, and you can download them at 1,072 x 1,600 px, so it's a classic collection. The latest galleries give you pics at 1,600 x 1,066 px, and you have an average of 40 per set, all high-quality and easy to view. Members can save them one at a time, view slideshows, enlarge the images online and download them in zip files in two image sizes.
Penthouse Gold is more than video and images, though. You will find an Erotica section where there are short stories in the form of letters, very erotic and sensual, and then there's a 'variations' section for more erotica and Forum where you find even more. They're well-presented and well-written stories too. You can also find the Variations and Letters under the Magazine content, and that's the place to go to see the published magazines online. You can subscribe to the print version from within the site and have it delivered too. The online magazines contain images and articles, and there are over 520 full magazines to browse.
As you can see, there's a lot of content on Penthouse Gold, and it's all perfect quality. With solos, hardcore movies, girls posing, erotica to read, magazines to browse and updates every day, it's a wealth of some of the best, most glamorous girlie-mag porn on the net, and each time we come to look at it, it's better than the time before.
Along with high-quality photography and videos, members also have a high-quality design and interface. The site is neatly set out with a static top menu that has drop-downs for various categories within headings, sample images are large and clear, there are no adverts or nasty pop-ups like you see on so many other sites these days, and there are no technical issues. You also have an account area should you have any hassles with your billing, and a link to help if it's needed. I had no trouble navigating, though I did think an advanced search page would be a useful tool as there is only a keyword search box. However, there is a long category list, and there are more navigation tools on viewing pages, plus linked tag words.
Members can be interactive as well, not only by browsing the magazines but by leaving comments and telling everyone what you think. There are rates to give with content too. If you want to know more about the gorgeous babes you're seeing, then that model index is the place to go, and if you want to join in with Penthouse on social media, there are direct links on most pages.
With all this going on, you'd think the membership price would be sky-high, but it's not. The regular monthly membership stands at only $24.95, but the longer you sign up for, the cheaper things get. Three months costs only $49.95 (the same as $16.65 per month), and the yearly deal works out the same as $12.49 per month, paid in one instalment. You can pay by card and PayPal, but watch out for a pre-checked cross sale on the details page.
What can you say? Penthouse just gets bigger and better, never loses sight of its reputation for high-quality girls and porn, and is now stocked with over 10,000 videos and galleries, and updates every day. You're looking at high-end, top glamour porn here with stars and newbies, and members also get to read online magazines with their articles and erotica. If you want a safe, secure hard and soft-core site that's not going away anytime soon, then you should be considering Penthouse Gold.
