Overview
Penthouse Gold is a long-established adult brand rooted in Penthouse magazine, first published in 1965. Its members-only website launched in March 1997 with nude content and adult videos.
A defining Penthouse tradition is its centerfold feature. Selected models are known as “Penthouse Pets,” with a “Pet of the Month” chosen each month and a “Pet of the Year” selected annually.
Originally focused on nude content featuring Penthouse Pets, the site gradually added more hardcore content and evolved into a general adult site around 2016.
Performers
The model directory lists 3,173 performers, one of the larger lineups in the industry. Penthouse Pets generally appear in nude content, while other models mainly perform in hardcore scenes.
The overall standard is high, but the Pets clearly stand out, with detailed profiles including measurements, hometowns, and interviews. Other models are listed only with thumbnails and their scenes.
Content
The content falls into two main categories:
- Original nude shoots featuring 368 Penthouse Pets of the Month
- Licensed adult content from other studios
Licensed content now makes up most of the library, with many titles from major studios such as New Sensations and Porn World. Most are relatively recent releases from the past six months.
However, if you have previously subscribed to these studios, you may find much of the content familiar.
Verdict
Today, only around 20% of Penthouse Gold’s content appears to be produced by Penthouse itself, so the site is quite different from a traditional Penthouse-only experience.
The overall quality is excellent, with plenty of recent releases, and the site has improved significantly since my last membership in 2020. The Penthouse Pets remain a major attraction, and their glamorous nude content gives the site its distinctive identity.
Overall, Penthouse Gold is best viewed as a combination of classic Penthouse content and high-quality releases from leading adult studios. Just keep in mind that recent subscribers to New Sensations or Porn World may encounter some familiar scenes.
