Penthouse Review by Xander Penthouse

Review by Xander

Released Sep 1, '16 , Written Aug 10, '16
Intro

I have fond memories of Penthouse magazine, as I'm sure many people do. A lot of us discovered our first pornstars through their pages. I remember being blown away when I had my first introduction to Tera Patrick. But enough reminiscing. After all these years, do they still hold up and is their site worth the $25 recurring monthly cost? You bet it is.


The Pros

  Exclusive Penthouse Content

Do I really need to go into detail here? I mean, this is THE Penthouse, after all. If you're reading this, you should already be familiar with what they do. If you're not, then allow me to fill you in. This is a nude magazine dating back to the '60's featuring an abundance of beautiful, naked women. With their website, they now offer all their magazines in a digital format, along with a great selection of 706 HD straight, lesbian and threesome scenes that can be both streamed and downloaded as well as over 5,000 professionally shot high-resolution photo sets that can be downloaded in a Zip format.

  Clean Looking Site and Easy to Use

Like their magazine, Penthouse's site is easy on the eyes. It's fairly easy to browse their photos, videos and model index and all the content can be commented on and added to a favorites list. When you're looking through their videos or photos, you get thumbnails of everything. It gives you a good idea as to what you'll be getting, which makes it easy to click on stuff you actually want. Overall you'll have a pleasant browsing experience.

Other Good Stuff:

  • They add at least one new video and accompanying photo set every day, meaning you'll always have something new to look forward to.
  • If you're familiar with Penthouse, then you're familiar with their famous "Penthouse Letters," which is essentially a collection of erotic stories. While some are written by the folks at Penthouse, there are quite a few reader-submitted letters that were really fun to read.
  • The "clubs" section gives you all the contact information you need for their various clubs around the world. They're are a perfect spot to host a bachelor party, for example.

The Cons

  Some Content Has Been Removed and is Being Recycled

I searched high and low to make sure it wasn't my imagination, but from what I can gather, they removed all of the older SD videos. However, on the plus side, everything on the site is in HD, but it also means the amount of videos has dropped since our last review.

Something important that should be mentioned is that the newer updates might actually be recycled content. A member of the PornUsers forum has pointed out that a lot of the content that's being presented as new is actually just old content that had been previously removed from the site and re-uploaded as a new update. If you're not a fan of recycled content, you might want to take note of this.

Minor Negatives:

  • The site is missing an advanced search engine, which would have been nice to have. Also, the content is only viewable by date. Adding an option to view it by top rated, most viewed, etc., would have been appreciated.
  • The pagination could use a little work. You can only skip ahead by about five pages at a time. This is more of a nuisance for the photo section, as there are currently 158 pages of galleries. Expect to be clicking for a while.

Bottom Line

Penthouse has stood the test of time and continues to do so.

You don't get to be a publication that has had success for decades unless you know what you're doing. Penthouse has had that success because their magazine has consistently showcased gorgeous models and pornstars who are either new to industry, or have been here professionally for a while. Their site is no different. It looks great, is easy to use and is full of high-quality content. It doesn't matter if you're a casual porn viewer or a dedicated enthusiast. This porn is for everyone.
