| Pros: |
-The best site of old favorite porn magazines (Hustler, Playboy, Penthouse)
- I’m not for sure if something has changed but you can now download the videos and they even have 4K downloads.
- Good for those of us that prefer the late 90s/early 2000s style of porn, especially lesbian scenes. Very similar to Vivid.
- Download speeds are good (80% my max)
- Pretty models but very few amateurs
- Over 3,000 models |
| Cons: |
- The production is good but it feels like it is stuck in the past.
- Not as much fun as buying a new Penthouse in the 90s. |
| Bottom Line: |
One of my favorite stories to tell about porn involves Penthouse magazines. I remember getting off work as a teenager and being excited knowing the local gas station had the new Penthouse. It is the one experience internet porn cannot replace. The anxiety, the nervousness, of walking in a store and asking a real person (usually a hot woman) to sell you pornography.
I hadn’t joined Penthouse Gold in years until I received a holiday promo email. I can’t complain much about the site or value. The site lives up to expectations of past pornography magazines. Stellar quality photos, great lighting and just a professional feel on neary everything. This site would be my favorite if this was 2007. The glam look on the models. The sexy lesbian scenes. The same thing I remember seeing in Penthouse March 1998 issue. Nostalgia only makes it so far in porn.
The part that takes me back to 2007 is me saying a porn site is only as good as its models. I still believe that. Give me all the technical bells and whistles but if the models are not attractive, I won’t care about the bells and whistles. Penthouse, maybe more than any site or brand has some of the prettiest, glam models in porn’s history.
I was surprised to see the 4K downloads but didn’t download those. I am still okay with 720p. The picture sets come in the expected downloadable zips. The photos are also sharp in contrast and maybe a little glossy, just like the old magazines used to be until you got the pages sticky.
There does not look to be any kind of limits on downloads. The biller is Penthouse themselves and it works as well as you would expect. It’s a very easy to use site. The model list may keep you occupied for a few days just looking at all the pretty women. The pictures do live up to expectations as well. I would go as far as saying the pictures are the best on the internet. Not based on technical quality. The photos go up to 2500 long end and that’s small compared to photo sites but the poses, production, direction and outfits show that Penthouse understands how important all those are to making quality pictures.
That’s how I will base my recommendation. The videos are good but the photos are better and should be the main reason you join this site. If this was 2007, I would score this a 97 or 98 but it’s 2023. I can appreciate the work they put into the photos but it’s just not enough in 2023. |
