Yeah, something tells me horny 20 somethings in prime physical condition are gonna find ways to fuck.

Some athletes prefer a break from intamacy around a big event, I don't know if it's a scientificly backed idea, but some think it improves performance and focus.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Is that true though, the anti-sex beds? If so why aren't people outraged at the indignity of it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

According to an article I found they are just beds made from card board to be more environmentally friendly, cause after the event they won't be needed anymore.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Asserting that people can't have sex in a twin bed is to believe that college students are entirely celibate.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

This is a special bed that's designed to break under the weight of more than one occupant.

Try not to think too hard about the differences in weight between the different Olympic athletes who are going to be sleeping in them. Or the implications of telling people they can't have sex because you personally would find it disgusting.

EDIT: scratch that, they're not anti sex beds: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/anti-sex-bed-2024-olympics/

This is a special bed that’s designed to break under the weight of more than one occupant.

That just sounds like a recipe for it to crumple if multiple people sit on it, or someone jumps into it, rather than gracefully climbing in.

I also would never think of simply putting the mattress on the floor to save breaking the frame. That would most certainly be against the rules.

has it been done for UEFA euro 2024?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

unmatched even years later... what a wonderful format. i love reading things backwards.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago

It’s the stupidest thing, and i cant wait for people to stop using that shitty website

Can anybody explain what the thinking behind censoring the word "sex" is? I mean, who is it being censored for and what is the fear would happen if those people saw the uncensored word?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 5 months ago (3 children)

YouTube's and TikTok's algorithms that determine monetization and visibility. People then censor these words on other platforms out of habit, I guess.

In spoken language, substitutions (~~porn~~ corn, ~~kill~~ unalive etc.) are more popular than bleeps.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wait, so you mean pop corn is actually...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Cop porn. Pretty common roleplay actually

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

All Cops Are Bisexual?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Ok, so what's YouTube's and tiktok's thinking, then?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago (2 children)

That negative or morally questionable topics are advertiser-unfriendly. Of course, advertisers don't need to run positive or moral ads, though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Of course, advertisers don't need to run positive or moral ads, though.

Of course not, they're the customers so they're always right. And the "product" is tightly regulated.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I know you don't think that, but imagine thinking sex was negative or morally questionable. It all comes down to money, of course. "Can't have my brand associated with sex because some people hate sex and they might not give me their money! Better pretend like we can deny sex exists altogether." And then the same advertisers advertise beer using boobs.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

imagine thinking sex was negative or morally questionable

I think lots of Christian denominations find it a necessary evil. I did too before I became an atheist. Still, I think the platforms are so afraid of showing age-inappropriate content to someone they'd rather stash it away to somewhere nobody finds it unless explicitly searching for it.

It's the same stupid propaganda that comes out every Olympics. It never happened. There's just no reason for a king size bed for everyone.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

I can think of a few reasons...

It was kinda obvious tbh. French and anti-sex are not two things that I'd normally put together.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Plus they've already loaded up on Olympic brand condoms

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Man, if they could get sign off to use the Olympics logo, it would more than make up for donating almost any number of condoms just in advertising options.

Side by side shots of different pairs of pole vaulters flopping onto their landing mats. Scenes of different sports, starting with slow ones and cuts to different ones. Slowly, it starts to jump to faster sports, where the athletes are making more vocalizations, by the end it's just a focus on curlers furiously brooming while they all do their excited yells of joy and then a moment of silence while we zoom in on some shotput throwers faces just as they're throwing, and then cut to a rapid series of divers splashing into the water, audio overlay of a soccer commentator screaming "goal", and then a pan across the cheering crowd. "Trojex: for when the world comes together", with five overlapping condoms in the background, fading to the Olympic logo.

“I just came. Bring the spare pants into my office, Christina!”

-some marketing executive somewhere (probably)

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago

Thanks! I was trying to work out how the hell it was supposed to work. Because it sure wouldn't stop me.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 5 months ago

Nobody has ever had sex outside of a bed.

[–] [email protected] 84 points 5 months ago (4 children)

Like...I get it...but at the same time, they're young, taut, and hot. Just let these beautifully sculpted human beings have sex with each other? Let them enjoy this one life that we have? Give them some birth control & leave them be. What fucking jealous, irrational prudes. 🙄

I hope they have all kinds of crazy sex, just because they can.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I wish I was hot enough to be fucked by an Olympic athlete. I'd probably die just trying to think about keeping up with their endurance, but what a way to go out!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Look, I'm a kinda fat 30 something dude, and I just do kegels and edge and I can fuck for like 45 minutes solid. Athletes waste all their time exercising non-erogenous parts of their body. If gooning was an Olympic sport, I'd take the gold.

Tl;Dr: Don't have sex with an Olympian, have sex with me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

haha hiiiii

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago

Please expand this to about 1000 words and you got a new copypasta goin

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

i feel its just bitter ugly old people in charge of this stuff

[–] [email protected] 66 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Fortunately, they're not actually small for that purpose. They're just small beds made of recycled material.

The Olympic committee isn't that naive. They're distributing literally hundreds of thousands of condoms and related safe sex accessories.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

The Olympic committee isn't that naive. They're distributing literally hundreds of thousands of condoms and related safe sex accessories.

It's up to the host country how to handle the horniness of the Olympic village, not the committee. Some countries in the past have taken measures to discourage it.

FWIW, the Olympic village has been an STD hotbed in the past. But distributing protection is way more likely to help with that than trying to keep the athletes off of each other.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Fair enough, I conflated the Olympic committee with the Olympic organizers. :)

In any case, someone is realistic about these things because they're taking some steps to try to keep things clean while they get dirty.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Also film it plz.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Anyone who thinks a twin bed isn't big enough to have sex on, has never been horny enough to break a twin size bed fucking on it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

"sorry, we can't have sex because the bed is too small" said no one ever.

Id fuck on a fucking face cloth on the floor.... which might actually make cleanup easier too.
