Olympic Athletes to sleep on cardboard beds to discourage sex

New York Posts

Even with the clarification from the Olympics, I don’t believe them. Who the frick outside of people living on the shores of the Ganges, who the frick ever sleeps on a cardboard bed? That thing is not going to hold up over 300 pounds.

The world’s best sports competitors are set to spend their nights on cardboard beds — which, according to one athlete, were allegedly designed to collapse under the weight of fornicators to discourage sex.

Olympic officials have set up 18,000 of the cardboard beds in the notoriously sex-crazed athletes’ village, according to Dezeen magazine.

“Beds to be installed in Tokyo Olympic Village will be made of cardboard, this is aimed at avoiding intimacy among athletes,” American distance runner Paul Chelimo tweeted.

They are distributing a cache of condoms to the athletes, as they have at every Olympic Games since 1988. This year, the condom tally is 160,000. Still, that’s a far cry from the 450,000 doled out for the last Summer Olympics, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2016.

This year, Olympic officials insist the condoms are so athletes bring them home to spread the message of safe sex.

“Our intent and goal is not for athletes to use the condoms at the Olympic Village, but to help with awareness by taking them back to their own countries,” the Tokyo Olympics Organizing Committee said in a statement to Japan Today.

All this being said, very Japanese thing to do.
