I Like ItI Don’t Like It
Olympic Sex

I am often asked if the Olympic village - the vast restaurant and housing conglomeration that hosts the world's top athletes for the duration of the Games - is the sex-fest it is cracked up to be. My answer is always the same: too right it is. I played my first Games in Barcelona in 1992 and got laid more often in those two and a half weeks than in the rest of my life up to that point. That is to say twice, which may not sound a lot, but for a 21-year-old undergraduate with crooked teeth, it was a minor miracle.

Barcelona was, for many of us Olympic virgins, as much about sex as it was about sport. There were the gorgeous hostesses - there to assist the athletes - in their bright yellow shirts and black skirts; there were the indigenous lovelies who came to watch the competitions. And then there were the female athletes - literally thousands of them - strutting, shimmying, sashaying and jogging around the village, clad in Lycra and exposing yard upon yard of shiny, toned, rippling and unimaginably exotic flesh. Women from all the countries of the world: muscular, virile, athletic and oozing oestrogen. I spent so much time in a state of lust that I could have passed out.

Sure enough, the article comes from a British newspaper. The British are sexually obsessed and repressed all at the same time. And that goes ten times for the British mainstream media.

Matthew Mitcham, an Australian diver who happens to be the only openly gay man at the Olympics, won the gold if platform diving. He upset the Chinese divers who were heavily favored in one of the major upsets of the games.

NBC never mentioned his sexuality (and he's open about it), although they did hundreds of human interest stories on athletes from all countries (though mostly Americans). Unfortunately HuffPo is in the same category as NBC. There's plenty of fluff about the Olympics on this website, but this interesting and important story was completely overlook - maybe intentionally.

there are hundreds of stories that you could argue are newsworthy coming out of the olympics. the media can't cover them all.

Is this news-worthy, really?

No, but look at the girls butt! It's . . . awe-inspiring. I would write an article about it too if I were a journalist.

For the first time I now understand why the men so badly want to win Gold. What's a greater motivation to win a Gold medal than gaining sexual access to fantastically hot, and fit chicks of all races and nationalities? Since winning Gold doesn't increase their attractiveness to the men in the Olympic village, it seems that the female Olympic competitors pursuing Gold are truly the athletic purists.

Oh heck yah! Michael Phelps will be getting more a$$ than a toilet seat for the next four years thanks to his gold medals and media coverage. And more power to him, I say!!

Hey, they are doing their thing! Whatever that might be, as long as they are not hurting themselves or others. You got to give those caged hormones an outlet!

I wonder why the picture has to be of a Brazilian player's butt. The image of Brazilian women being sex objects is just being perpetuated here. Next time show an American player's butt next to sex. or better yet, an American men's bulge.

Have you been to Brazil? Trust me, it's an opinion changing experience.

Agreed. I lived in Brazil for four years and came to the conclusion that God created woman in Brazil.

I've lived in Brazil. I'm sure tourists have a different experience, but Brazilian women do not equal sex. I am sick of that stereotype.
I was wondering about the picture as well. The article is a man talking about getting laid. I think a man's bulge would be more appropriate.
