Thousands of condoms to be distributed at 2024 Paris Olympics

All athletes need protection.

The 2024 Paris Summer Olympics will officially open on Friday, July 26, and athletes in the Olympic Village will be provided with accommodation, food, and of course, condoms.

As the 14,500 athletes and staff began arriving in the “City of Love”, pictures of room tours emerged on social media, showing the infamous sex-forbidden beds and large quantities of Olympic-branded condoms in each room.

The brightly coloured condoms given to athletes feature an image of Flukis, the official mascot of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, with a small message included on each pack.

Messages on the condoms include: “In the realm of love, play fair. Ask for consent,” “Don’t share more than you win, protect yourself from STDs,” “Win it: Consent, No STDs,” and “You don’t have to be a gold medalist to wear it!”

Athletes are routinely given condoms — even during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics’ unofficial “intimate ban” due to the COVID-19 pandemic, when organizers ordered 160,000 condoms to be distributed, NPR reported.

This year, Laurent Dallard, who is responsible for coordinating emergency and health services for the Paris Olympics, said at a press conference that the Olympic Village will provide 200,000 male condoms, 20,000 female condoms and 10,000 oral condoms.

That’s about 230,000 types of protection, and if you do the math, that works out to about 20 condoms for each of the 10,500 athletes. However, Olympic organizers don’t actually expect athletes in the Olympic Village to use up all their condoms.

In fact, it looks like they might even be trying to stop athletes from getting busy outside of the Olympics – thanks to the “anti-sex bed.”

According to Inside the Olympics, sustainability was the main reason Olympic officials chose to use the beds this year — not to prevent Olympic athletes from having wild sex.

Double beds discourage people from snuggling with other competitors, and while the polyethylene mattress and cardboard bed frame are 100% recyclable, they may not immediately appeal to horny Olympians.

But the 16,000 modular mattresses produced by Japan’s Airweave yes Regardless of size and material, it is safe for sex.

Airweave US COO Brett Thornton told The Washington Post that the cardboard frame is actually “much sturdier than a typical wooden bed frame,” meaning athletes can safely use their condom supply.

Furthermore, athletes do not need a bed to fulfill their sexual desires.

Over the years, there have been many stories in the media about Olympians having crazy sex – and they happen everywhere.

At the 2004 Athens Olympics, an athlete had sex on a balcony, while others have seen people openly “making love” on the grass or between buildings, and there have even been reports of people having group sex in hot tubs.

It’s safe to say that Olympians looking to make the most of the condoms on offer won’t face any logistical problems.
