Will 100,000 condoms set a record at the Olympic Village?
Posted by Shawn Alff on Mon, Feb 22, 2010 at 3:25 PM
As reported by the Huffingtonpost, 100,000 condoms will be handed out in the Olympic Village during the 2010 games. This equates to 14.6 condoms for each of 6,850 athletes and officials. Regardless of how many of these condoms will actually be used, the public goes wild over these statistics each Olympics; we can’t help but imagine the record-setting romps on ice that might occur between gold medalists like Lindsey Vonn and Evan Lysacek.
This practice of giving athletes free condoms began in 1992 with the Barcelona Summer Games. In Sydney in 1996, the athletes quickly plowed through the 70,000 supply. Another 130,000 were given out in Athens. And in Beijing, 100,000 condoms were made featuring the motto, “faster, higher, stronger."
There are many theories to explain this high demand for condoms, mostly because it gives people like me an excuse to discuss Olympic sex between young, hyper-fit, attractive, athletes. Some athletes abstain from sex for up to six months before major events as a way to stockpile testosterone. When their event is finished, they're ready to trade their skin tight spandex suits for latex. Can you blame them? Pretend that you've dedicated the majority of your life to an obscure sport like ice dancing. Then suddenly, for one month of your life, the national spotlight is on you. All of a sudden, you’re a rocks star with wild fans who want to test your world class stamina. Besides, it’s not like we’re paying these athletes. The least we can do is give them free condoms and set them loose in the Olympic Village.
This all assumes that these condoms are actually used for sex. Athletes could just stockpile these rubbers as souvenirs, or as a way to make a buck on eBay. Who wouldn’t want an Olympic condom? Do they feature the various national flags? Do the rubbers come in gold? Are silver and bronze snugger fitting condoms?
