No-Sex beds at the 2024 Paris Olympics? | DW News

Like in 2021 during the Tokyo Olympics, the internet is wondering: are the cardboard beds set up for athletes in the Olympic village really designed to discourage them from having sex?

I didn't know having sex was so important at the Olympics.

I find these anti-sex beds funny considering the Olympic organizers also supplied 300, 000 condoms to the Olympic Village. These condoms came in little packages complete with the mascot on them and even a cute little slogan saying “Don’t share more than victory: protect yourself against STDs”. Another little fun fact is at the Sydney games in 2000 they provided 70, 000 condoms and the athletes exhausted the supply about 2/3 of the way through the games. They had to bring in an emergency shipment of another 20, 000 and even then they said it just wasn’t enough.

Cardboard or not, it's going down. Beds are overrated anyway.

I would make a better argument that it's a no sleep zone. How tf does anyone sleep on those?

Tom Daley showing off his bottoming position is kind of iconic.

Bed is OK. but the apartment building got collapsed.

Sex banned at the Olympics? I didn’t even know it was an event!

[mangomonga]

grindr is a gay dating app isn't it?

[azhariarif]

It's about cost and logistics not sex. If you have sex during olympics, you're about to lose anyway.

[SMGJohn]

The priority of some people is quite frankly, disturbing.

[oscartimms]

To promote "sustainability" totally not from the World Economic Forum, not.

[smizmi]

Discouraging intimacy in Paris? Now that’s what we’d call a fool’s errand.

The amount of money the olympics makes from these dudes they should be in 5⭐️ hotels

[jellythewasabi]

Not me watching this in a room with my family😭

[Faycalboukert]

Why do people date during world event like that, they should be focused on winning not dating

[Onemattressatatime]

The beds are terrible. These great young people are Olympic athletes . Rest number one restorative. Make it the best experience of the young peoples lives, quit making everything about politics.

[melissateague]

But aren't they put in 5 athletes to a room? That's not private.

Any sensible athlete won't be having sex before their event. Body conditioning is super important.
