There are few porn brands out there that could compare to a site like Playboy TV when it comes to brand recognition. The glory days of glossy skin mags may have ended decades ago, but that bunny logo is still a cultural icon. People see those ears and that bowtie and immediately know what it is, even if they’re not regular smut consumers. Hell, ol’ Hugh Hefner was probably the most famous smut peddler ever to walk the earth, and the company he started is still going strong nearly a decade after his passing.
PlayboyTV.com is a premium video website from one of the biggest legends in the industry. I’m sure the site gets a shitload of traffic just based on the name, but as we’ll see, the site maintains the same kind of high standards they’ve held since they started publishing way back in the 1950s. I had some of my very first faps to my old man’s stash of Playboys under the mattress, and today, I’ll have one of my very latest faps to the new stuff. Let’s get into it.
Bringing a Classic to the 21st Century
Playboy has always been known for its classy, refined approach to pornography. As something of a wordsmith myself, I always loved how the magazine featured legit, respectable literature from authors like Kurt Vonnegut, Margaret Atwood and Haruki Murakami. Even without the highbrow wordage, though, their general presentation always set them apart from the sleazier outlets like Hustler. Don’t get me wrong, I like the dirty stuff too, but beating off to Playboy has always made me feel like a real gentleman.
That sophisticated aesthetic is on display from the moment visitors land at PlayboyTV. The auto-playing montage at the top of the screen is softcore as hell compared to your average reality porn paysite, teasing you more with suggestions than full-on explicit sex. The video thumbnails paint similar pictures, and the whole thing’s wrapped in a clean white interface that would feel at home on a SFW lifestyle website or upscale blog.
Still, PlayboyTV.com is an adult website through and through. There is no penetration nor boobies on the front page, but there are famous models and pornstars all over the place. Playboy has always been known for featuring some of the hottest women in the world, and that hasn’t changed over the last 70 years. PlayboyTV’s model index features hundreds of celebrities, cybergirls, playmates and amateurs, including gals like Elsa Jean, Elizabeth Ostrander, Alina Lopez and Scarlett Sage. I spotted my friend Ana Foxxx as I made my way around the tour, and I bet she ain’t the only PornDudeCasting alumni to be featured.
I was hoping for some better peeks before I made my way inside, ideally something with nipples at least, but the preview situation’s a little bit lacking. All the Watch Video buttons out front just sent me to the signup page instead of letting me watch a trailer, which is something of a pet peeve of mine. You’ve got to sign up before you can really start watching, but I’ve got some good news on that front.
Cheaper Than a Magazine Subscription
I’d say the name is probably the most immediate draw at PlayboyTV.com, followed by the beautiful women all over the tour page. Once you start poking around, though, you’ll find plenty of other reasons to stay. For one thing, tickets are fucking cheap, with a monthly rate about half what you’d pay for most premium porn sites. If $15 is too rich for your blood, there’s also a streaming-only plan for ten bucks. As I type this up, they’re offering a limited-time, 18-month special that comes out to just under seven bucks a month. That’s a better discount than most sites give you with a yearly plan.
Once you actually get inside Playboy TV, the true size and scope of the platform becomes more apparent. They’ve styled the whole thing more like a modern TV network than your typical porn site, breaking down their releases into over 120 shows and more than 2600 episodes. Runtimes vary a bit, but most of the vids I clicked on today clocked in between 20 minutes and an hour long, so there’s plenty of material to keep you hard and cranking for a good, long while.
There’s a great range of content that goes beyond what I was expecting. They’ve got videos showcasing the beautiful female form in stylish, artistic ways, just like they did in the magazine days, as well as plot-driven pornos featuring everything from hotwives to lesbians to freaky group sex. If you want some tips on keeping your partners happy, make sure to check A Guide to Her Pleasure, a series focused on exactly that.
I like to see at least one update per week if I’m paying for my porno, but PlayboyTV is putting out way more material than the industry standard. New videos hit the site every couple days, giving you regular reasons to keep stopping by during your masturbatory travels around the internet. The latest episode as I type this up, added just yesterday, is the 19th installment of Seduction Principles, season 4.
In case you were wondering, yes, there is plenty of hardcore content in the Playboy TV library. The classic magazine was a much more softcore affair, full of solo women just showing their bodies and not even touching themselves, but we live in a different era. They’re not hawking the same kind of cum-drenched, shaky-camera reality porn as a lot of the big brands, but it’s still modern porno. If you’re looking for softer, solo material in that classic Playboy style, check out my list of Premium Porn Pictures Sites, where I talk about platforms like MetArt.
Tuned In and Turned on By Playboy TV
I started my official fap test of Playboy TV with the latest episode of Passion Diaries, released just a few days ago. The 25-minute scene opens with a hunter creeping through a cabin, rifle in hand as ominous music plays. He finds a curious, human-shaped lump hiding under a sleeping bag, giving it a slightly creepy vibe just perfect for a review I’m writing on Halloween.
The vibe shifts when he lifts the covers to reveal a beautiful woman. “Oh, I’m so sorry! I was lost and I needed a phone and I saw this place and I need service, and see? I have no service! See?” The man does his best to calm her down, but she’s hopelessly lost and hysterical. She’s gorgeous, too, and I’m pretty disappointed with how poorly the site tags talent. I could not find her name listed anywhere.
The hunter doesn’t have a car, so he can’t drive her out of there, and the walk is so long that it’d be dark before they got there. “What if I make it worth your while to help me get out of here?” she asks. The dude’s all set in almost every respect, so she specifies, “I was thinking a little more in the pleasure department.”
That’s where the action heats up, beginning with a make out session. The production is cinematic, with the kind of beautiful framing Playboy has always been known for, but it goes much harder than they used to in the magazine. The clothes come off, the girl gets down on her knees, and a messy blowjob ensues. This segues into a loud and eager doggystyle session on a shaky bench that looks like it might collapse at any moment beneath the vigorous thrusting.
I didn’t even realize the movie was a twofer until halfway through, when we meet another beautiful woman in another sexy scenario. This one’s a little bit lighter in tone but still beautifully polished and sexy as fuck. Downloads are included with the regular membership, so I clicked the button halfway through the cunnilingus.
If I’m being honest, I didn’t expect to have quite as much fun as I did today. Playboy’s always been a great brand, putting out some of the most refined pornography in the world, and I absolutely love how PlayboyTV.com levels up the naughtiness compared to the classic nudie rag. The smut is exquisite, the library bursting at the seams, and the whole thing costs half what you’d pay for almost any other paysite on the market. Previews are a little weak, but check out the tour and see how you like the vibe. Trust me, it gets a lot more explicit once you make it past the front door.
