Overview:
Few adult brands are as globally recognized as Penthouse. Founded as a magazine by Bob Guccione in 1965, Penthouse initially held back explicit content with a breeze softcore style but later shifted to a more hardcore focus. Now tickling fancies primarily in the digital realms, Penthouse has a powerhouse members-only site loaded with the very smut that has made the brand a household name. Penthouse Gold brings adult fans a feast of exciting, explicit material to gawk at, both new content produced exclusively for release here and older, classic scenes, movies, and photoshoots that helped create some of porn’s first true superstars. Penthouse Gold, which charges $24.95-a-month for standard access, serves up HD delights starring the likes of Lacy Lennon, LaSirena69, Vanna Bardot, and Emily Willis, to name but a few. Fancy an earlier generation of screen slut? Why, Penthouse has you well covered, too, showing off its archival shoots with Naomi Russell, Chasey Lain, Janine Lindemulder, and Eva Angelina with great style. Why wait for the latest adult endeavor to come along and try to steal your attention when an all time classic is sitting right here waiting in the form of Penthouse Gold?

Pros:
You rarely see pornstars looking this glamorous and sophisticated. Penthouse bathes its models in warm, lightly sweaty, erotic atmospheres that bring out a side of the women many other studios miss. Aiming for a more elegant and refined style - when it’s not furiously spunking on girls’ faces, that is - Penthouse Gold has a great house style that many other studios would envy.

With its mix of brand-new and classic content, Penthouse Gold spans multiple eras and suits adult viewers fond of 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, and contemporary smut. From the years worth of Penthouse Pets to legendary performers giving their all in VHS-era scenes, all the way to today’s brightest young talents making their Penthouse debuts - there’s just so much to love here.

Photo galleries may be the standard form by which Penthouse seduces its audience but Penthouse Gold’s video content is just as strong as its stills. In High Definition streams and downloads peaking at 1080p, all newly-shot videos look great. Even the older material looks quite strong given its source limitations and has been routinely remastered for online release. Galleries, for their part, offer 1600px shots online and zipped.

Home to quite a hefty collection now holding more than 4500 videos and well over 10,000 galleries, Penthouse Gold delivers a huge range of content to its devoted members. Now discounted to $19.95-a-month, this damn good deal just gets better when you consider that updates have been hitting the homepage more frequently here than most adult sites can manage mid-pandemic.

Cons:
Everybody knows Penthouse. And everybody with a fondness for porn is probably very well versed in Penthouse’s style and content. Considering this is one of the world’s most prominent and widely disseminated adult brands, it’s no surprise that some of the content found here should be regarded as nonexclusive.

Video fans now used to a baseline 1080p HD standard for all videos might be miffed to find Penthouse Gold limiting streams to 720p and keeping the 1080p version solely for download. Although some newer content has clearly been shot in an Ultra-HD format, no 4K downloads have been provided.

The Penthouse brand blends classic eroticism with 80s sheen and contemporary fashion. Unfortunately, the Penthouse Gold site lacks that contemporary style and looks more like a relic of the late-90s era. It’d be great to see Penthouse Gold given a design more akin to today’s major video streaming services.

Conclusion:
Throwing your lot in with Penthouse Gold isn’t likely to leave you disappointed. Not unless you’re devoted to 4K Ultra-HD videos or 100% exclusivity, that is. Penthouse Gold piles on a huge amount of pictorial and video content, sharing all with its members in regular, routine updates of both classic content and newly shot smut. Although video streams are limited to 720p HD and there’s no 4K content in sight, Penthouse Gold carries its legendary style into a new era. Clearly a near-perfect fit for any porn fan with one foot in the present and one foot in the past, Penthouse’s wide ranging archive is not as scattershot as many of similar breadth. Honing in on star performers and utterly stunning models, Penthouse’s acclaimed artists capture the keenly cultivated yet blazingly honest eroticism and sexuality oozing from the cast. Now discounted to a damn good rate, Penthouse is not only one of the most visible and notorious adult entities, with Penthouse Gold it’s an online porno force for good.
