Penthouse

Penthouse currently features a large amount of content, as you would expect. 3576 photo galleries await you, whilst you can also throw over 1880 videos into the mix as well. Photos can be viewed in 5 different sizes from 800 to 4000 pixels wide. You can view them in a slideshow where you set the timer and there is also a very neat zoom in and out feature.

The videos are available in WMV, MP4, MPEG and Mobile formats, and in their highest quality versions display in HD at 1280x720 at 8000kbps. There are lower quality versions for those with slow speed connections. One can download or view the full movie and they are also broken down into parts for slower connections. They can be downloaded or streamed. They even have some #D movies now. Updates are made multiple times per day !

It's Penthouse, baby! I've always got the impression that Penthouse is regarded as inferior to that other mainstream adult empire, Playboy, but I always preferred Penthouse. It was always a bit naughtier and a bit more daring as far as I was concerned, and as such I always liked it a bit more. My mind hasn't changed after seeing the magazine's online version, and whilst it isn't perfect, it's one of those sites that I think that everyone should subscribe to at one point or another.

You know that they will have a lot of the world's most famous pornstars and adult performers here - from Aimee Sweet to Zdenka Podkapova - so there's no questioning the quality of the girls or Pets here. It's all about whether the content stands up to the reputation and indeed the girls. Well, the photo galleries are divided up into Pets, Models, Girls on girls, Couples and Group sex, with each of those categories having sections of their own.

All the categories nicely cover a whole host of niches, with straight hardcore fucking, lesbian sex and solo posing all covered in more than plenty of detail. The videos cover similar ground, with some outstanding lesbian content in particular. Jezebelle And Friends was an especially erotic read that won't allow me to get up from my seat for several hours!

It's all presented with a real sheen that you would expect from Penthouse and it's all as professionally shot as you would expect it to be. In addition to all the expected content, there are some other great features with regular interviews and articles on non-adult related things such as sport and showbusiness.

Back within the adult remit though, there are some great outtakes galleries and videos, as well as some pretty good interviews with featured models. There is also a very nice new section where you can download videos on to your iPod or PSP. Bonus content comes in the form of a huge collection of video feeds (all Penthouse approved) as well as some live chats.

The members area is absolutely superb. This site is exactly as well presented as you would expect from this empire. The use of categories and sub-categories in the menus is very thoughtful and doesn't make things at all confusing, whilst you can search for models from A-Z too.

The layout is simple and uncluttered despite the size of the site, and it is also very well designed. The updates are as regular as you might expect here as well. The browsing options on the videos have improved so much and are excellent.

It's Penthouse, so really and truly I din't expect it to be anything less than excellent. It's very easy to be sceptical of the hype and fame it has generated over the decades, but when you see the women they have helped turn into internationally renowned sex symbols, you quickly understand why they have built this reputation.

And Penthouse don't just put the girls in any old crap either. Prime quality photo galleries and videos are subsidised by some excellent features that make this an entertaining all round site, as well as just a great old adult site too. Penthouse is as good as you think it is.
