In preparation for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, organizers have introduced new beds allegedly designed to discourage sex among athletes.
These “anti-sex” beds are made from materials and constructed in a size that purportedly discourages athletes from engaging in sexual activities during the competition.
The beds are twin-sized, making it difficult for two people to share comfortably. Manufactured by Airweave, the same company that produced beds for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the beds are part of a broader initiative focused on sustainability.
According to Inside the Games, the primary reason for choosing these beds is to reduce the environmental impact. Both the mattresses and the cardboard frames are 100% recyclable, aligning with the sustainability goals of the Paris 2024 organizing committee.
“I hope that Paris 2024’s efforts to reduce its impact will show that it is possible to do things differently,” said Georgina Grenon, director of environmental excellence for the organizing committee, according to the report.
Over the years, there have been numerous media stories about athletes engaging in sexual activities during the Olympics. For instance, table tennis player Matthew Syed recounted his experiences at the 1992 Barcelona Games, stating he had more intimate encounters during those two and a half weeks than at any other time in his life.
Similarly, an anonymous athlete at the 2012 London Games admitted to participating in a foursome at the Olympic Village.
