Paris 2024 Olympics Introduces 'Anti-Sex' Cardboard Twin Beds for Athletes

May 15, 2024, 03:35 PM

In preparation for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, organizers have introduced new cardboard twin beds, commonly referred to as 'anti-sex' beds. These beds are designed to discourage intimacy among athletes, following reports of sexual activities in previous Olympic Villages. The beds are also noted for their sustainability, aligning with the event's environmental goals. Despite the intention behind these beds, some believe they will not effectively deter athletes from engaging in sexual activities. The introduction of these beds marks a shift from previous measures, such as the distribution of extra condoms at the Sydney Olympics in 2000. Organizers have lifted the sex ban and vowed to make athletes feel very comfortable.
