Who needs reality TV when you have the Olympics?? Between sexy swimmers kicked out of the village to potentially ultra hot new couplings, we have been glued to the news stories about the world’s top athletes. And now, via BuzzFeed, people are dishing on the steamy and strange aspects of sex at the world’s games. Man, we wish we were in Paris right now.
1. At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, athletes had to sleep on cardboard beds. The flimsy nature was designed on purpose to be “anti-sex“.
2. This year at the Paris Olympics, organizers have already stocked up on over 300 THOUSAND condoms, which they’re expecting to blow through pretty quickly (we already knew that!)
3. At the Vancouver Olympics in 2010, a group of Canadian, German, and Austrian athletes had an orgy at a house outside the Olympic Village. Yes, an ORGY.
“It was a late-night whirlpool party. It turned into a whirlpool orgy.”
4. The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia saw a massive rise in Tinder usage in the Olympic Village — athletes were pretty much running the app.
5. And speaking of dating apps: at the London 2012 Olympics, Grindr literally CRASHED. Within MINUTES of athletes arriving.
6. Julie Foudy, who competed in three Olympics from 1996-2004, said she saw people having sex “right out in the open. On the grass, between buildings, people are getting down and dirty.”
7. The Beijing 2008 Olympics was referred to as a “sex fest,” according to an Olympic table tennis player. This led to a catchphrase for that Olympics: “More sex than Woodstock.”
8. The sex problem (or maybe it’s not a problem, depending on how you see it) might’ve first started at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, where athletes were having so much outdoor sex, they had to ban it.
9. At the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics, German bobsledders tried to trade their gold medals for some “group fun” with skier Carrie Sheinberg.
10. On the plane ride home from Sydney to LA after the 2000 Summer Olympics, it was essentially a sex-fest as well. Not just in the bathroom, but like, in the rows.
