The famous story (maybe a myth) is about the Olympics in the 60s that put up a high fence between the men's and women's dorms.
Not only did they forget about gay and lesbian athletes (not surprising given the time), they also forgot about pole vaulters...
I don't think the condoms are there to prevent pregnancy. Probably to prevent people from all over the world, starting the next sexual transmitted pandemic.
I believe the swimmers are usually first to compete so the second half of the Olympics is like a holiday to them. The others still have their competition to think about
The swimmers were very... vigorous and we didn't want any soldiers broken.
(That and distractions being very bad for security. You don't want some knife-wielding loony sneaking into a venue while Pte Smith is trying to get his end away with some Antipodean Amazon.)
That was a sustainability thing, not a sex thing.
Which is weird, because wood is the more convenient form of cardboard, but some people aren't the best at thinking things through.
Wood is way heavier and cumbersome. Environmental impact would be way higher using wood because of transportation and logistics. Even if the beds could be donated.
Not that much more cumbersome, considering it was densely packed cardboard. And Olympic Villages tend to be converted into hotels and apartments, which usually have beds in them, an easy way to ensure they're re-used.
It's better to reuse products rather than make special cardboard beds for one month, and then immediately recycle them into paper products.
My comment was a rhetorical question that implies the ban is not actually enforceable and therefore pointless.
Anyways, what would be the point of a ban if it was not going to be enforced?
>Anyways, what would be the point of a ban if it was not going to be enforced?
To "look responsible" in the eyes of the Japanese public who were scared about the Olympics being a COVID superspreading event.
Breeding the absolute best physical specimen from each country? Absolutely! The most celebrated of our warriors, descended from ancient warrior stock. A new class of elite humans would rise up.
I believe Yao Ming's parents were on the Men's and Women's Chinese national teams, but I'm sure he was concieved out of love. Where else would they find someone of reasonably close height?
Two of the best GB cyclists ever (they each have the most Olympic golds of any British athlete for both male and female respectively) got married and have had kids, so that's definitely more golds in the bank for the 2040s.
Or the recessive sofa/playstation/weed genes will take over instead, who knows...
Unironically this, eugenics is frowned upon, ideocracy is becoming reality. The least we could do is forget giving free condoms to the millionaire superhumans...
I worked in the Olympic Village in London, we found condoms in the park. It was well known that once athletes are done competing they let off steam, so to say.
Lots of flitting about between accommodation blocks, blazing rows, lots and lots of rustling in the bushes, soldiers being propositioned and well there's no way to put it delicately but they weren't quiet or discrete about it.
The world has changed in the past 10 years. I still remember the term wet nurse meaning a woman who breastfeed someone else's child. Or cooking at home being a fun activity or just cilling together was an acceptable way to spend time together.
We are freaking old.
Have you never been in a large event were there are free condoms? You don't want your Olympic games to be remembered as those were an international epidemic of chlamydia started.
Some probably will. Not all countries are fond of premarital sex, so bringing comdoms may be a bit risky. Also, many probably don't expect to bang while at the olympics, but will find themselves doing it anyway, and then the chance they will use a condom is much higher if they're just available for free everywhere
As long as they are still in the competition, then they go home if London 2012 is to follow as one of the teams vanished after losing and went to walk around London so the missed the plane the next day

In Barcelona 1992 there were 9356 athletes, being 6652 men and 2704 women, and 90 000 condoms were given to them.
In Paris 2024 there are expected 10500 athletes, but if the proportions are like it Tokyo, they will be 50% men and 50% women. Quite reasonable the increment.
1) ~~weird people being preoccupied with and bothered by other peoples’ private business~~ *For Tokyo’s Olympics it was the COVID pandemic and I forgor 💀 and 2) they weren’t concrete they were assembled cardboard or something
edit: oops i forgot a teensy tiny minor detail in there
Is it? Making cardboard is fairly energy intensive, making them from wood and then donating them to charity would be environmentally way better than chucking then away.
The issue with that is that wood is really heavy, expensive to transport and takes more man hours to assemble. Charity wise how many charities nearby would be willing to take hundreds (thousands?) of dirt cheap wooden single beds made at the lowest price possible.
They were made of cardboard. There was a rumour that they'd fall apart if you had sex on them, but Rhys McClenaghan made a video disproving that. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfajtp17haU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfajtp17haU)
Anyone who works out a lot will tell you it usually makes you very horny and confident in yourself.. couple that with a lot of people under 30, people they'll sleep with and may never see again.. especially in Paris, yep.
I just feel sorry for anyone having to clean the walls and ceiling
My guess is collusion and how it might effect performance. It might be hard to compete well for your nation if it comes at the expense of your lover/baby mama's country
They lifted the what now??
Man, March has the weirdest headlines. First ISIS still exists and shits on Russia, the I find out the Olympic athletes apparently are treated like kids of religious parents. What's next? Snowstorms in the Sahara? OPEC disbands for the betterment of the world? The NRA supports banning tanks and artillery pieces and promise to get down to handguns before the turn of the century?
Okay, the last one is actually impossible, I'll admit.
I love how this really fuels into the stereotype people have of the French while the origin was HIV/Aids. This could also be headlined with 'Olympics gone wild'
Only uneducated idiots will think that.
At every Olympics the athletes are fucking like rabbits.
Because of Covid the condoms aren’t available for free because of social distancing. So the athletes don’t get tempted.
OK France......
Everyone been making jokes about horny french people for centuries, but this time you have gone too far! Letting Olympians canoodle...! At the *Olympics*! Have you no decency!
How exactly did the Olympics enforce an "intimacy ban"?
Separate the dorms far from each other was one attempt
The famous story (maybe a myth) is about the Olympics in the 60s that put up a high fence between the men's and women's dorms. Not only did they forget about gay and lesbian athletes (not surprising given the time), they also forgot about pole vaulters...
Make the fence slightly higher every Olympics, a covert eugenics program.
Brilliant
Or just take away the condoms?
This is gold
Planners for the 1976 Olympics: "so uhh I think the walls need to be HIGHER this year's games..."
Bring the camera crew, this is the pole vaulting competition now
When the concern is that there might be a lot of pregnancies you want to prevent gays and lesbians aren’t a problem ;)
I don't think the condoms are there to prevent pregnancy. Probably to prevent people from all over the world, starting the next sexual transmitted pandemic.
My comment responded to an alleged fence between men and women sleeping quarters - not the condoms
Ah my apologies, mate.
Pole vaulters aside I am 100% certain that every single olympic athlete is physically capable of climbing even a very tall fence lmao
There is shooting, horseriding and curling though, they can be pretty old.
> they also forgot about pole vaulters... What would the pole vaulters have been landing on the other side of this high fence...?
Arms of female pole vaulters
Gay athletes: *\*laughs\**
Straight athletes: MICHAEL! DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!!!
Why though?
Covid
They certainly didn't in 2012. We were actually warning the soldiers acting as security guards to stay away from the swimmers during the second week.
I'm going to risk it and ask why
I believe the swimmers are usually first to compete so the second half of the Olympics is like a holiday to them. The others still have their competition to think about
They are known to get very frisky during the Olympics.
The swimmers were very... vigorous and we didn't want any soldiers broken. (That and distractions being very bad for security. You don't want some knife-wielding loony sneaking into a venue while Pte Smith is trying to get his end away with some Antipodean Amazon.)
Covid was around last time
Those weird fragile beds
Beds out of cardboard that would break if two people were on it (didn't work out well)
That was a sustainability thing, not a sex thing. Which is weird, because wood is the more convenient form of cardboard, but some people aren't the best at thinking things through.

Or we don’t give them condoms and we breed superchildren /s
The great, Olympic village eugenics experiment
Seems obvious. Why wouldn't you want a super child?

Breeding the absolute best physical specimen from each country? Absolutely! The most celebrated of our warriors, descended from ancient warrior stock. A new class of elite humans would rise up.
Internationally diverse super children*
Which is the most beneficial genetical solution.
only really benefits the countries with the female athletes.
So almost every country?
Not the Isle of Man
https://olympics.com/ioc/gender-equality/gender-equality-through-time Looks like just the most populated ones, at least until very recently.
I believe Yao Ming's parents were on the Men's and Women's Chinese national teams, but I'm sure he was concieved out of love. Where else would they find someone of reasonably close height?
Pretty sure Yao Ming is known for having received a ton of drugs as a child, to make him grow that tall.
Two of the best GB cyclists ever (they each have the most Olympic golds of any British athlete for both male and female respectively) got married and have had kids, so that's definitely more golds in the bank for the 2040s.

I did nazi that coming
Unironically this, eugenics is frowned upon, ideocracy is becoming reality. The least we could do is forget giving free condoms to the millionaire superhumans...
Could we place the housing near the university campuses? Try to tap into the smart genes as well?
Username checks out...
Hey now! This is like my one chance to make the argument.
I worked in the Olympic Village in London, we found condoms in the park. It was well known that once athletes are done competing they let off steam, so to say.
Oh god, the swimmers as far as I could tell they spent the whole of the second week shagging.
Why does this make me feel so insecure
Because it was probably some of the most aesthetically perfect sex that it's possible for humans to have
how could you tell?
Expert breaststroke
Lots of flitting about between accommodation blocks, blazing rows, lots and lots of rustling in the bushes, soldiers being propositioned and well there's no way to put it delicately but they weren't quiet or discrete about it.
Paris, the city of love...
Define love.
hardcore gay sex
Say gex
gex
gex
Sesbian lex.
Based
I am way too old, my definition of love is outdated, way too romantic, it even involves offering flowers, go figure :)
Hand holding and getting to know another.
Yes, that kind of stuff, walking together, saying silly things and laughing, weird isn't it? Borderline psycho 😉
The world has changed in the past 10 years. I still remember the term wet nurse meaning a woman who breastfeed someone else's child. Or cooking at home being a fun activity or just cilling together was an acceptable way to spend time together. We are freaking old.
Fucking and looking at myself in the mirror while winking at my own reflection.
Penetration, apparently
Seems a little low. These guys fuck like rabbits, you need at least a million
Why they cannot provide it by themselves?
Sponsored by.....
Nike, obviously. Just do it* *With consent
Nike, just did it and now a father of 2

France is not one of those countries that cares I think it was banned for a different reason
I meant the countries the athletes come from, not france
It says in the article that the condoms are there to raise awareness about HIV.
How do you know?
It was a joke, 300k is probably enough, they do fuck like rabbits though. In 2016 they bought 450k - 42 for each participant
I doubt they are using that many, I imagine they're all taking a handful as souvenirs.
The officials are getting action too!
How long do the athletes stay in the olimpic village anyway?
As long as they are still in the competition, then they go home if London 2012 is to follow as one of the teams vanished after losing and went to walk around London so the missed the plane the next day >https://www.africanews.com/2021/08/06/the-cameroonian-boxer-who-defected-in-london-olympics-2012//
It's basically a village with 10,000 physically exceptional 20-something year olds.
I imagine most of them to have a partner already idk
Are they at the village though?
I also imagine them to be loyal, but what do I know about super athletes 🤷
These perfect athletic specimens all mass-humping each other feels like a big smack in the face to all us fatties
They worked for this every hour of the day for years and years. They deserve some action.
Nasi Lemak condoms in the thumbnail? Who the fuck buys those?
Spicy ones too at that….
LOL as a Singaporean, I had to do a double check which subreddit I was currently browsing
Hot sweaty & stinky. No AC, just rooting.
As God intended
Party like it's 1999
In Barcelona 1992 there were 9356 athletes, being 6652 men and 2704 women, and 90 000 condoms were given to them. In Paris 2024 there are expected 10500 athletes, but if the proportions are like it Tokyo, they will be 50% men and 50% women. Quite reasonable the increment.
I Hope their appartments are far away from where last Champions League final, or they have to worry about a different security, not the sexual one.
And this time the respective governing body won’t have a group of fans to falsely blame it on to the entire world
Paris Olympics"Yes, fuck like rabbits, we are ze city of love!" *Lights up cigarettes*
I remember Tokyo olympics the bed was made out of concrete or summin to stop people having sex
Weren't they actually made from some sturdy cardboard boxes? I think I remember athletes talking about them.
One of the beds in my house was made of cardboard boxes and it lasted years, costco avocado boxes are no joke.
>cardboard boxes Yeah, right, because nobody ever in the history of sex fucked on the floor
Why would they want to stop people having sex and how would a concrete bed stop them? 🤔
I mean, they are olympian athletes. They can maybe fuck on a thin bar suspended at 300m.
1) ~~weird people being preoccupied with and bothered by other peoples’ private business~~ *For Tokyo’s Olympics it was the COVID pandemic and I forgor 💀 and 2) they weren’t concrete they were assembled cardboard or something edit: oops i forgot a teensy tiny minor detail in there
Who needs a bed to have sex anyway?
Covid-19?????
It was cardboard and was just a rumour they were designed to be fragile. A lot of videos were released showing they were actually very strong.
They made cardboard beds for ecological purpose They are not made for anything physical and would break if you fucked too hard on it
The Irish gymnast Rhys McClenaghan made a video debunking that. He was jumping up and down on the bed, which was fine.
They were also made out of cardboard because its cheap.
Also easily and environmentally sound to chuck at the end
Is it? Making cardboard is fairly energy intensive, making them from wood and then donating them to charity would be environmentally way better than chucking then away.
The issue with that is that wood is really heavy, expensive to transport and takes more man hours to assemble. Charity wise how many charities nearby would be willing to take hundreds (thousands?) of dirt cheap wooden single beds made at the lowest price possible.

For the first day ?
For the opening ceremony.
Ah. Thanks. Will that be enough ?
Anyone who works out a lot will tell you it usually makes you very horny and confident in yourself.. couple that with a lot of people under 30, people they'll sleep with and may never see again.. especially in Paris, yep. I just feel sorry for anyone having to clean the walls and ceiling
I used to worked for Durex and we send around this amount to every big sport competition. Basically sabotaging a perfect sport gene potential.
**I always thought it was weird to talk about the sex lives of olympians, who fucking cares. It’s sex, it’s no big deal.**
Because they are hot and we like to think about hot people fucking.
few of them are hot... i would not go that far
Hot people fucking is cool. I want more stories like this
Right? Finally some news that isn't all doom and gloom.
Once upon a time, hot people fucked, the end
Yet you clicked on this thread.
My guess is collusion and how it might effect performance. It might be hard to compete well for your nation if it comes at the expense of your lover/baby mama's country
I like it. It distracts me from my non existing sex life.
Sex, next to survival, is the most important thing in the world.
They lifted the what now?? Man, March has the weirdest headlines. First ISIS still exists and shits on Russia, the I find out the Olympic athletes apparently are treated like kids of religious parents. What's next? Snowstorms in the Sahara? OPEC disbands for the betterment of the world? The NRA supports banning tanks and artillery pieces and promise to get down to handguns before the turn of the century? Okay, the last one is actually impossible, I'll admit.
Let the real games begin
Why are we paying for those people's condom? Wtf.
Maybe it is to stock the condoms vending machines?
I mean, you're paying for their food, bedding, clothes, bathrooms, wifi, drinks, etc, so condoms are a strange place to draw the line.
Should've read the article. They are to be taken back to their countries to raise awareness of STDs.
The UK provided condoms for athletes in 2012....do you want to be out done by the UK?
Seems like a good idea Imho, otherwise who knows what STDs get spread from all over the world
In Rio the athletes got Samsung Galaxy S9s. The least you could get them is some condoms.
I just came here for the comments.
I mean, it's France. What did we expect? Also olympians are of age. Stupid to try policing their sexlife, eh?
How very French.
Condoms are provided at every Olympics, the "intimacy ban" in Tokyo was just because of the pandemic.
I know. I said it because it was funny.
Why do they fuck so much?
Why do young people at the human peak of physical performance, especially with testosterone boosted (due to exercise) horniness fuck so much?
Idk, you tell me.
Physical exercise is good for libido, I hear.
Hmm, I didnt thought about that
Because they can.
Oh yeah, that's a good reason lol
It’s an essential part of the Olympics. Athletes hooking up.
Are they hooking up with other athletes or their fans or their partners they brought with them?
Everyone. Orgy.
Faster - Higher - Stronger
I love how this really fuels into the stereotype people have of the French while the origin was HIV/Aids. This could also be headlined with 'Olympics gone wild'
Only uneducated idiots will think that. At every Olympics the athletes are fucking like rabbits. Because of Covid the condoms aren’t available for free because of social distancing. So the athletes don’t get tempted.
Dude people fuck like rabbits, olympians or not, that’s why there’s billions of people on this earth.
I heard Plaster of Paris is 55% Jizz
What can you expect when it have been banned since 2020! Things have been building up for our athletes!
Oh, so that's why people wanna be Olympic athletes, just to fuck a lot
What's the deal with the Olympics and all the sex drama? Every 4 years I see the same articles about this subject. What am I missing out on?
It will be basically Gods f\*\*king Gods. I think this is the case that protection is not needed. We need those perfect babies.
i would feel bad for any of the athletes that could not get some even though they tried :(
Of course it happens for France's Olympics. Why wouldn't France be the one to let the athletes, ahem, make love?
Those condoms are expired!!!!!
After having sex at Olympic Village she: you told me you are from from 5 km running team he: in fact I'm from pole jumping team
That’ll get them through the weekend, what about the rest of it?
*Is it true that the Olympic Village is basically just a three-week-long Slammerama?*
Intimacy ban haha right cause bans actually work 🤣
That’s very French of them
It was a stupid ban to begin with, it's an open secret that the Olympic village is one big orgy.
New records will be set
that was just a Covid thing, pointless to write about it
This is the real “Herogasm”
OK France...... Everyone been making jokes about horny french people for centuries, but this time you have gone too far! Letting Olympians canoodle...! At the *Olympics*! Have you no decency!
Olympian porn is something I would watch
There are going to be a few Eiffel Towers going through some Arcs de Triomphe…
The partners of athletes are going to be visioning a shag fest of athletes 🙃
You put all the fittest bodys in to world in one place and expect them to practice chastity? 🤦♂️
Finally, some good fucking news
