As the summer days turn into summer nights, Muscovites are finding more and more creative ways to get romantic.

Some of the boldest couples have been caught on camera frolicking at a park near the Kremlin, according to Moscow’s chief architect.

“We’re seeing an unprecedented number of cases where people are having sex here at Zaryadye [Park]” chief architect Sergei Kuznetsov said Friday.

“There are videos,” he was quoted as saying by the Moskva news agency.

Kuznetsov tied the uptick in public copulation to the safety and comfort that Moscow provides visitors and residents, the agency said.

… we have a small favor to ask.
