As Olympic Events End, Sexy Time Begins

There's an amusing article in the Times of London about libidos unleashed after Olympians compete in their events. Former Olympian Matthew Syed remembers, "In 1988 that there were so many used condoms on the roof terrace of the British team's residential block the night after the swimming concluded that the British Olympic Association sent out an edict banning outdoor sex... It is a common sight to see recently knocked-out athletes gorging on Magnums and McDonald's, swilling alcohol and, of course, shagging like crazy." Syed points out how 2008 organizers have more of a "If you can't stop 'em, at least make it safe" philosophy by handing out 100,000 condoms to the 10,500 Olympians in Beijing. There is no count on how many were used, but Syed heard from one competitor, “The swimmers finished earlier in the week and it was like there was an eruption.” [Via Page Six]

Oh, come on. What man hasn't wondered about the positions gymnasts can get into, as one Seinfeld episode mentioned?

Mott the Hoople

i would love if you kept your idiotic fantasies between yourself and the dozen or so cut-rate porn websites with whom you no doubt have lifetime subscriptions. in other words, cubicle jockey, you can count star olympians as another group of people whom you have no chance of meeting, much less sexually gratifying.

The hottest chicks so far were Stephanie Rice, Natalie Coughlin, Alicia Sacromone, lolo jones, Kimberly Glass, Logan Tom, Xue and Chen from Beach Volleyball, The ENTIRE Polish Volleyball team, and Blanka Vlasic.

Personally, I think the saddest aspect to this is that the US women's relay team is something like 12,000 miles away; otherwise, I think my chances would have been pretty good chance, since it took over a month for me to get kicked off my high school track team, and I still run a couple of times a week. I think they'd be impressed by that as well.

When do they get back? Will you let them know I'm interested? Just, you know, be cool about it.

Public Relations

The real sad aspect to all of this is that, as intelligent and body health conscious as these mostly young athletes must be - the government has to buy condoms for them.

Although the athletes have been given blood tests and are probably quite free of diseases - one would think that at least one of the partners would use common sense on their own about safety - especially given the training and discipline they are presumed to have.
