I thought fascist westoid countries were obsessed with making babies? Even doubly more so if they have S+ tier athlete genes.

    They run this story every year but it’s really not true. The cardboard beds aren’t meant to prevent fucking, nor could they. They’re just meant to be biodegradable

    Can't risk pissong off the advertisers. If the Olympics gets a reputation for being a greek style event people might get offended.

      Imagine if it was inspired by an event in which the athletes were all naked, that sure would be scandalous

    I'm not aware that they're doing this? I'm pretty sure I've read articles about how many free condoms they give out at the athlete's village.

    If this is about the cardboard beds, they're just meant to be biodegradable and less impactful. They're perfectly sturdy enough to fuck in. Here's a US rugby player demonstrating in Tokyo: link

    I think in part because a lot of them don't bother with condoms and there have been STD epidemics at Olympic villages before

    i-think-that I wish all people in all countries were as sex-positive as those horny olympic athletes with their 400,000 condoms

    The olympics is importing gamers and hoping that they smell so bad that olympians dont want sex.

    people saying this isn't happening, but what about the ai anti sex beds ?

    Edit: ok so actually it turns out the ai is being used to supposedly make the bed more comfortable based on different athlete's body type. I'm not sure if I believe it actually makes it more comfortable but the intent isn't to stop people from having sex

      This would also imply that the French think sex only occurs on beds. The French……..

    It’s not really about fascism. The very intense athletes have rituals and superstitions as well as legitimate health/training regimes that may include refraining from fucking before a game. I mean, fucking will make you tired as hell, so it’s understandable. Parasocial fans want to make sure their favorites have the most advantage. Or perhaps they have $5000 on draft kings in favor of a player and are shitting themselves because said player is exhausted from nutting.

    As for the bed thing, those were just speculation and jokes. The olympic village is notorious for being full of sex.

      Playing basketball after nutting is not a lot of fun. I can't imagine trying to box against a motherfucker or trying to lift weights.

    so the anti-sex-bed, despite being a bit of a canard, had the initial legitimacy because there were actually discouraging sex and all other interpersonal contact in the tokyo olympics cause covid was still being taken somewhat seriously

    the cardboard bed reappearing is making a rerun circuit, without any context that'd make it seem more legit.

    but anyway am i the only one who thinks the cardboard bed-->recyclable thing is ridiculous? like whatever i'm sure they actually are, but in what world is a commodity as simple and reusable as a fucking bedframe something that needs to be recycled? just make normal ones and put them somewhere else when you're finished? its not like they throw the entire games in recyclable buildings so what's this shit about single-use beds? personally i suspect its just a bit cheaper. e: not that much cheaper since apparently 2+ olympic athletes can jump & hump on them but still
