This summer, Paris, known throughout the world as the “City of Love”, will host the Olympic Games. But the athletes who will compete in France cannot take the capital of romanticism’s reputation literally.
This is due to the fact that, according to some international media reports, the organizers of the race have already installed “anti-sex” beds in the Olympic village. The furniture is made from recyclable cardboard.
The motivation for using this material is to prevent athletes from becoming restless at night from the heat, as well as prioritizing environmental friendliness. But this feature has led many to call the beds “anti-sex” because they are not as stable as usual.
Despite this, manufacturers guarantee that the furniture will withstand a load of more than 200 kilograms.
Bringing together the best athletes from around the world, the event has a reputation as a place for close interaction between athletes. In 2016, Rui Unas asked Patricia Mamona if there was a lot of sex in Aldeia Olímpica. “I think so,” the athlete replied.
This year, 300,000 condoms will be distributed to approximately 9,000 athletes, reports Sun.
“At the Olympics there is a box of condoms, and every time an athlete goes to get condoms, the Portuguese applaud (…) The Portuguese always applaud, which means there is a ‘forrobodo,'” he said in another interview on the channel ‘from 5 to midnight’, Patricia Mamona.
Manufacturers clarify that the beds already used at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games are not designed to prevent sex between athletes, as was also reported ahead of the event in Japan.
“The choice is mainly due to the desire to reduce environmental impact and reuse equipment,” a Paris 2024 spokesman said. AFP.
The use of cardboard beds in the Olympic city of Tokyo also caused a lot of noise and forced athletes to refute this version.
