300,000 condoms will be available in the Paris Olympic Village, returning to tradition after the IOC issued an intimacy ban and social distancing orders for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.

    Good. Thousands of athletes, in peak physical shape, in the prime of their lives… They’re gonna fuck like rabbits regardless of condom availability. Better to ensure it’s as safe as possible.

    Here I was, thinking that this had to be at least in part a publicity stunt thing (no way they need 300 000 condoms), and reading that the Tokyo games needed to buy 20 000 extra when the first 70 000 started running out.

      So what you’re saying is that if there was ever a failure of the product in about 19 years I could raise an army of superhumans?

      The condoms have also become a popular souvenir from the athlete’s village, especially in recent years. Many athletes take the condoms specifically to give to family and friends back home, if they personally aren’t planning on having sex while there. To be fair, they are basically a perfect souvenir because they are small and lightweight, inexpensive, and something you can’t get anywhere else, as they are often printed with unique packaging for the games.

    Which Olympic did they tried to use paper (cardboard) bed to stop athletes from having sex? Did it work out?

      They used cardboard because it’s cheaper.

      If I recall correctly the manufacturer actually made a statement ensuring that they are suitable for SEX because it’s essential for athletes in the games.

      I didn’t know they were made from cardboard, but Tokyo actively tried to stop them by making beds that would collapse with two persons on it… I guess thats the same case.

      Anyway, we are talking about the most athletic persons in the world, in the very appex of their biological cycle on earth. I would bet on that it made things slightly worst*
