Penthouse.com brings users the expertise and professionalism associated with the Penthouse magazine to the world of online pornography.
Penthouse claims to have ‘over 720 full length movies’, ‘689 hardcore scenes’, ‘130,000 photographs’ and a ‘daily update schedule’. It’s clear to anyone that Penthouse.com really does promise a lot on the tour – but I wouldn’t say that one of the most famous adult entertainment companies in the world couldn’t deliver on what they say. That being said, you can never be too sure – that’s why Porn Rewards got a membership account for the site to see how good it really is on the inside.
I do like a good homepage on any site and I must say that the landing page you find yourself on after logging in really is my idea of quality. The navigation at the top of the page is easy to follow with relevant links, the left hand side of the page gives you instant access to potentially epic areas of the site and best of all, 90% of the page is dominated with sexy thumbnails that represent the most recent content on the site. All in all, a good first impression that certainly makes the user feel right at home.
It looks like Penthouse.com does a good job at spreading its content across a variety of fetishes. There’s lesbian content, threesome content and as you’d expect, plenty of straight, hardcore content. I did a manual check of the scenes and counted a total of 690 – a respectable figure and when combined with the extra scenes in the bonus section, you reach the 720 shoots promised in the tour.
I sampled five different updates from this year and they all had the exact same formats/options on offer. Firstly, users can enjoy a 720 or 480 HD video quality stream in flash if porn on demand or your type of thing or alternatively, you may want to select any one of the 4 download options available in WMV, MPEG1, MPEG4 and M4V format. If you’re the type of person who values his time highly you might be pleased to know that Penthouse.com does offer partial clips (five minutes in length) and a ‘preview’ trailer that’ll give you more than enough eye candy to evaluate whether you like the scene or not.
Penthouse.com has a good combination of porn shoots and certainly doesn’t have any issues when it comes to quality. The large archive, decent video resolution and multiple video formats are more than enough to give me adequate belief in the member’s area of Penthouse. It’s worth checking out just for the free smut and who knows? Maybe you’ll take the leap and sign up for some high quality pornography in stellar video formats.

Penthouse fans will enjoy the amount of magazine spreads & online exlcusives.
Penthouse has a nice selection of movies and image sets to choose from. The movies can be viewed in 720p, but they do not have anything in 1080p. Some of their movies are only a few minutes long which is kinda of short. Their model selection is quite good too.
