    Like…I get it…but at the same time, they’re young, taut, and hot. Just let these beautifully sculpted human beings have sex with each other? Let them enjoy this one life that we have? Give them some birth control & leave them be. What fucking jealous, irrational prudes. 🙄

    I hope they have all kinds of crazy sex, just because they can.

      Fortunately, they’re not actually small for that purpose. They’re just small beds made of recycled material.

      The Olympic committee isn’t that naive. They’re distributing literally hundreds of thousands of condoms and related safe sex accessories.

        It’s up to the host country how to handle the horniness of the Olympic village, not the committee. Some countries in the past have taken measures to discourage it.

        FWIW, the Olympic village has been an STD hotbed in the past. But distributing protection is way more likely to help with that than trying to keep the athletes off of each other.

          Fair enough, I conflated the Olympic committee with the Olympic organizers. :)

          In any case, someone is realistic about these things because they’re taking some steps to try to keep things clean while they get dirty.

          Man, if they could get sign off to use the Olympics logo, it would more than make up for donating almost any number of condoms just in advertising options.

          Side by side shots of different pairs of pole vaulters flopping onto their landing mats. Scenes of different sports, starting with slow ones and cuts to different ones. Slowly, it starts to jump to faster sports, where the athletes are making more vocalizations, by the end it’s just a focus on curlers furiously brooming while they all do their excited yells of joy and then a moment of silence while we zoom in on some shotput throwers faces just as they’re throwing, and then cut to a rapid series of divers splashing into the water, audio overlay of a soccer commentator screaming “goal”, and then a pan across the cheering crowd. “Trojex: for when the world comes together”, with five overlapping condoms in the background, fading to the Olympic logo.

    Can anybody explain what the thinking behind censoring the word “sex” is? I mean, who is it being censored for and what is the fear would happen if those people saw the uncensored word?

      YouTube’s and TikTok’s algorithms that determine monetization and visibility. People then censor these words on other platforms out of habit, I guess.

      In spoken language, substitutions (porn corn, kill unalive etc.) are more popular than bleeps.

          That negative or morally questionable topics are advertiser-unfriendly. Of course, advertisers don’t need to run positive or moral ads, though.

            I know you don’t think that, but imagine thinking sex was negative or morally questionable. It all comes down to money, of course. “Can’t have my brand associated with sex because some people hate sex and they might not give me their money! Better pretend like we can deny sex exists altogether.” And then the same advertisers advertise beer using boobs.

              I think lots of Christian denominations find it a necessary evil. I did too before I became an atheist. Still, I think the platforms are so afraid of showing age-inappropriate content to someone they’d rather stash it away to somewhere nobody finds it unless explicitly searching for it.

            Of course not, they’re the customers so they’re always right. And the “product” is tightly regulated.

      This is a special bed that’s designed to break under the weight of more than one occupant.

      Try not to think too hard about the differences in weight between the different Olympic athletes who are going to be sleeping in them. Or the implications of telling people they can’t have sex because you personally would find it disgusting.

      EDIT: scratch that, they’re not anti sex beds: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/anti-sex-bed-2024-olympics/

        That just sounds like a recipe for it to crumple if multiple people sit on it, or someone jumps into it, rather than gracefully climbing in.

      Some athletes prefer a break from intamacy around a big event, I don’t know if it’s a scientificly backed idea, but some think it improves performance and focus.

          To give your partner something to clean up afterward?

          Just kidding. That’s borderline misogynistic. It’s so you can easily roll over and fall asleep after the intense 30-second marathon you just “ran”.

      According to an article I found they are just beds made from card board to be more environmentally friendly, cause after the event they won’t be needed anymore.
