Give 'The Archisutra' to your cheeky, high-design Valentine

Featured spread, depicting the recently-minted "International Style" sex position, is from London architect Miguel Bolivar's cheeky new architecture- and design-themed sex manual based on the ancient Hindu guide to erotic pleasure. Bolivar's Archisutra begins with a preface that references Le Corbusier's "machines for living" and Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, followed by a technical chapter on average male and female body measurements. The next 50 spreads diagram and describe funny yet legitimate positions such as "The Pile Driver," "The Flying Buttress," "The Cantilever" and "The Lap Joint," among others. Each position is coded with a Typical Location and Sustainability level, with Best Practices described in a detailed conclusion.
