Penthouse is one of those magazines we kept behind the counter that I remember sneaking a peek at while working as a man in a local convenience store. Times change and even adult magazines need to keep up with technology. Therefore, it makes sense that instead of having to deal with asking some snot-nosed clerk to pull a suspiciously dog-eared paper copy down from the shelf above the cash, you can simply go online for all that classic porn.

At Penthouse, you get much more than you would from a regular copy of the magazine. For example, take the multitude of over 1,900 galleries featuring hundres Penthouse Pets, hundreds of models, lots of woman-on-woman scenes, couples and group sex sets. The archives of Pets alone is almost as old as I am, stretching back to the year 1973. Although not every set is high-res, a good majority are and regardless of size, each shot has that glossy, sensual Penthouse feel.

The video section has over 223 average-quality full-length videos, including videos featuring Penthouse pets and behind-the-scenes clips. Each downloadable scene averages 30 minutes long and comes in Windows Media format. Lots of videos are also available in iPod versions. The quality is a bit disappointing considering the high production values of the professionally-made videos, but the ones I watched all looked okay and the newer updates were even a little better.

At any rate, you'll see plenty of footage from the various Pets as they compete for the title of Penthouse Pet of the Year as well as some lesbian sex scenes and some straight hardcore too. The feed sites cover a wide range of hardcore themes including different age groups, ethnicities, sexual styles and live performers. There is also a section featuring 234+ DVDs with hardcore themes.  These are third-party content, but they look hot.

However, it wouldn't be Penthouse without those infamous letters and don't worry, you get those too. Literally, you can read hundreds of letters describing the sexy adventurous discoveries of fellow readers, not to mention the Vanities and Vice column with Doc Zdrok and several hundred adult movie reviews. As a member, you also have access to some other Penthouse sites including Variations, the separate Penthouse Letters site and Penthouse Forum. Given the generous amount of decent quality content and the daily updates, the membership seems like a worthwhile deal.
