Overview:
Melina isn't a name you'll find appearing on the list of AVN Award nominations anytime soon, not unless Melina Mason makes a push for the top spot; it's just not as attractive to midwestern partygirls as names like Nikki, Audrey, Tori, or Jaycee. Head off to Europe, though, and Melinas are more common than you'd think. One site in particular is so densely packed with melinas - the name means 'honey'; so, honeys - that it even bears Melina as its name. Melina dot com is the address; presenting a bevy of beautiful young women in various states of recline and undress is the purpose; $19.95 is the price of a recurring monthly membership, $25.95 gets you a single month of access. What will you find inside? Why, super high resolution photographs and High Definition videos showcasing these exquisite beauties, of course, all loving presented on a thoroughly modern website, of course. Updates are guaranteed to arrive "several times per week" on the tour page, where you'll also find a proud boast declaring that every girl you see here will not be seen anywhere else. That's a claim few erotic photography sites can back up, so why don't we head inside Melina (so to speak), pick it apart, put it back together, and see what this new but intriguing site really has to offer?

Pros:
Melina is an exclusive collection of erotic photo galleries with some video content thrown in as a bonus. The content is splendidly photographed and shows the lovely young ladies in an assortment of enticing outfits that they gradually work on removing for your entertainment. While most shoots are simply stripteases and naked outdoor posing, others incorporate elements of BDSM and lesbian sex to spice things up.

The model roster here is exceptional, having been assembled by adventurous talent scouts who scoured the earth for the best and brightest adult models to feature exclusively here. Each girl is granted a straightforward but suitably detailed profile page that offers readers a chance to learn their favorite girl's origins, measurements, and provides a few short quotes.

All 241 image galleries hold high quality images in three resolutions; 1000px, 2000px, and (usually) 3888px. The photography is of exceptionally good quality and each image brings the viewer plenty of detailed visual information, giving great views of the enticing models. Zipped galleries are also available for download in each size. The bonus video content also looks very good, reaching a peak 720p resolution.

Updates land in Melina's members' laps four times a week on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, and keep this new site steadily growing to a more mature size. The 241 galleries currently online are a great start.

Cons:
Yes, there are 241 galleries already online here at Melina, but when it comes to photo content, less is not more; more is more. A number of other, similarly styled erotic photography sites update daily, some even multiple times each day, which leaves Melina lagging behind just a bit.

Those looking for high quality erotica that more often than not dives headfirst into a frenetic masturbation scene or even some hardcore frivolity won't be too thrilled with how sedate most of Melina's content is. The girls rarely engage in any actual sexual activity - stripping and posing aside, that is - and even in BDSM and lesbian-themed shoots they only pose suggestively.

Although it is clearly only online as a supplement to the photo content, Melina's videos are presented as well as perhaps they should be. With no download options available, viewers are stuck with streaming versions of the twelve videos; clearly a few more wouldn't hurt, either.

Conclusion:
With some supremely attractive young women from around the world, women of various ethnic backgrounds and nationalities, Melina makes quite a strong first impression and invites newcomers inside for a look. Inside there's a strong and growing collection of photo content, 241 galleries in all, that presents each image lovingly in three high resolution frames peaking at around 3888px and offering plenty of visual detail. Aside from a few odd little problems that will surely be mended in the near future, the only thing holding Melina back is its lack of originality. Exclusivity, which this site has in spades, is a wonderful asset but when combined with a unique style of content, which Melina unfortunately lacks, it helps make a site near unbeatable. Hopefully Melina can establish its individuality more strongly in the coming year and then make a more pronounced, if late, arrival on the global erotica scene.
