| Pros: |
- Mainly a porn stars, adult glamour picture oriented website.
- Professional photography by Penthouse's most acclaimed photographer Earlmiller.
- Tons of content back pictures and video from 1999.
- Many well known porn stars like Sunny Leone, Cassidy, Lanny Barbie, Monique Alexander, Adrianna Sage and lots more, more or less started their career doing porn here.
- Behind the scenes of photo shoot videos. (May not appeal to some)
- Photo section of amateur good looking young women as well. |
| Cons: |
- Highest picture quality is 1280x pics. Any picture before 2006 is 1024x pics.
- Airbrushed photos. Many models have a plastic feel to them because of the amount of alteration done to the photos.
- Videos before 2006 of below average quality.
- Past two years updates have erratic. Used to be very consistent with 6 updates per week prior to 2006 but not any more.
- Recycles old content. |
| Bottom Line: |
This was one porn website which was really good 3 years back.
They have gone for the worse. They have done nothing to improve the layout, picture resolution and video quality.
It's almost as if Earlmiller himself is close to retiring.
I have cancelled my membership and have no plans to join again mainly because of the consistency of their updates and recycling old content.
But then again for a person taking membership for the first time here it might be worth it for about a month. You get to see the history of porn stars of the last 8 years where most of them started their career. |

| Pros: |
+Approx 300 well-known and new pornstars and models, North & South American & Euro
+Professional photography by a seasoned master with a signature style
+Huge archive: photosets & videos
+Videos in WMV or QT, “high” (wmv 720x404) and “low” for both formats
+No DRM
+4 ways to go through the site content: 1. model hair color (LONG lists, though), 2. name, 3. reverse chronologically for pics or videos, or by 4. “Penthouse” or “Amateur” or “Monthly Centerfold” or “Pornstars." |
| Cons: |
-Public area does not show much about new updates
-Updates come slowly
-Recycles content
-Pics rarely larger than 1280px; plenty max at 1024.
-Too many pics are overly retouched
-Lots of masterbation with toys
-Videos are of photoshoots, including hardcore (suck-pause-camera flash, slow-fuck pause-camera flash).
-A bit of weirdness in zip downloads: No “right-click save as.” Click the zip link, and you get asked if you’re sure you want to download the zip. (Click "Yes.") |
| Bottom Line: |
I’d been getting offers to rejoin at a special price, $14.95 for a month, so I finally thought, “Why not?” after being away 7 solid months.
The number of photosets added since I’d left? 56. That’s 8 per month.
The number of “new” photosets that were actually recycled content? 8, which was a whole month’s worth for me. They weren’t enlargements of older sets, either. Just “old” presented as “new.” As old as from early 2006 on, when the site started doing photos at 1280px. It’s been around at least since 2003, so you can imagine there’s a lot of stuff at 1024.
The “zip weirdness” makes me think of the old dial-up days, when a zip download just might have been something of an issue. Thing is, zip files (and the "last chance" button) got added to this site only within the past couple of years!
It’s hard to stay a fan of a site that just hypes itself but is obviously behind the times in image size, rate of updates, and the approach to hardcore videos. The recycling bullshit doesn't help, either.
But for a first-time, one-time subscriber, a membership at the TBP discount price of $19.95 might still be worth it if you don’t mind the limitations already described. There is a lot of exclusive content of hot babes here: Adel Sharp, Amy Reid, Andie Valentino, the blond Lena, Riley Shy, Georgia Jones, etc. as well as older stuff of Alexa Kai, Angel Cassidy, Tyler Lee, Jassie, Tera Patrick, etc. to name just a very few. |

*Newbie reviews and ratings don't count toward a site's overall score/rank until the user reaches the Rookie status level (5 points). This rule is needed to help prevent fake (or heavily biased) profiles and reviews.
