Penthouse Gold review
Even the youngest of my readers, I imagine – yeah, those of you who are still 18 or 19 – probably know who Penthouse are. After all, this name surpasses “household” status, to the point where their brand has become a legitimate legend. And the porn benefits of that legend can come to you, with Penthouse Gold – that’s the porn site I’m bringing you a look at this time around. This one is very interesting, folks, and it very much carries all the hallmarks of the Penthouse name – including spectacular babe choice, from the Penthouse Pets to everyone else featured here. With that said, though, let’s get into the library details, and see how it’s doing in practice these days, shall we?
Massive Library, Frequent Updates, 4K Resolutions – Wow!
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – updates are the lifeblood of just about any porn site. The team behind Penthouse Gold seems to have gotten that memo, and new content is coming down the pipe quite regularly. You can expect new content to drop an average of 4 times per week, in fact. That’s pretty damn great. So far, this has resulted in a library of over 5,000 videos alongside 10,000 galleries. Now, the newest are in 4K resolution – keep in mind that a good chunk of the collection here is classic, so resolutions will be lower on that content. And with an average run-time of 20 full minutes per video, the library ends up very impressive overall here.
Clean, Unclutter Site, Solid Features
On top of that, the site itself doesn’t get in the way. I like to see how cleanly they’ve designed things here, to make it simple to find what you’re looking for. The search engine sadly isn’t advanced, but you’ll find categories, sorting, tags, ratings, comments, favorites, basic search, and more, plus the great articles and reader submissions that have always been part of the Penthouse brand. I found the usability here to be quite solid.

MY APPROVAL!
Penthouse has been around a long time, and frankly, it’s quite natural for a brand to decay over time, as it’s easier for it’s staff to ride on the company’s former success than to iterate and to stay relevant. Companies can stay alive a long time this way – but apparently, not Penthouse. Penthouse Gold instead shows a continued commitment to quality porn, to the customer, and to iteration on the quality that’s been associated to the Penthouse brand now, for decades, regardless of what scandals may come and go. I’m delighted to be able to award Penthouse Go with a score of 91.7 points overall, alongside my full recommendation.
