TIL Seoul 1988 was the first Olympics to have condoms distributed, with a supply of 8500 with increases ever since. However there is no research evidence that athletes competing in the Olympics would be more likely to seek out casual sex

I only have one single friend who has ever competed in the Olympics, but according to the stories he's told the level of fucking going on there is nothing short of epic.

No. Just fucking common sense evidence. Not everything needs to be studied, just hand out the birth control.

There’s conflicting stories. Some say “there’s a lot of sex” while others say there isn’t much at all, but people can’t help but take a condom because who wouldn’t want a condom from the Olympics as a trophy—doubly so if it’s labeled as such.

Gee, I wonder if a bunch of the world's fittest young people would have sex with each other if we put them all in a special village.
