The Russian city of Zheleanovodsk hosts a quite unusual monument. It does not honor a person or commemorate a historic event. Instead, it is a monument that celebrates a procedure that most people would never dream of celebrating, but some kinksters would!

Local artist Svetlana Avakova, who designed the monument which costed around 1 million roubles ($42,000), said Botticelli’s classic painting Venus and Mars had given her the inspiration to tackle the tricky subject.
