‘Anti-sex’ beds are here to apparently combat orgies! At Paris Olympics 2024 — after horny athletes admit to orgies amid competition In a unique measure ahead of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, "anti-sex" beds have been introduced, purportedly designed to discourage athletes from engaging in intimate activities during the competition. This unusual approach reflects ongoing concerns about the well-documented tendency for sexual encounters among competitors. 'Anti-Sex' Beds For Athletes Arrive in Paris Ahead of Olympic Games 2024.
The beds, manufactured by Airweave, are twin-sized and made from materials aimed at minimizing physical intimacy. These beds were previously used in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and their design is intended to collapse under excessive weight, making them less conducive to any extracurricular activities beyond rest.
While the primary reason cited for these beds is sustainability, as both the mattresses and cardboard frames are 100% recyclable, their design has sparked discussions about their secondary purpose. Olympic officials have emphasized the environmental benefits, yet the beds' functionality has not gone unnoticed.
Over the years, the Olympic Village has been known for its lively social scene. Athletes have frequently shared stories of their romantic escapades. For instance, Matthew Syed, a table tennis player, recounted to the Times of London his experiences at the 1992 Barcelona Games, describing an exceptionally active social life during those two and a half weeks.
Similarly, the 2012 London Olympics saw an anonymous athlete reveal to the Mirror that a foursome took place within the Olympic Village. Despite the new bed designs, history suggests that athletes' ingenuity often overcomes such barriers. One competitor even mentioned witnessing a hot tub orgy at a previous event.
A US two-time gold medalist further highlighted the uninhibited atmosphere at the Games, stating, “I’ve seen people having sex right out in the open. On the grass, between buildings, people are getting down and dirty.”
The introduction of these "anti-sex" beds represents an interesting intersection of sustainability efforts and attempts to influence athlete behavior. Whether these measures will be effective remains to be seen, but they certainly add a unique element to the preparations for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
