Sex And The Olympic City: What Athletes Are Doing After Hours

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.

Instead of the photo of the female bikini bottom in talking about sex at the Olympics, why doesn't Huffington Post run a photo of a guy in a speedo? Objectify equally.

[newszombie]

you are such a loser

[libs = kooks]

My unibrow needs to see Brrrrrraazil booty, not some freaking dudes junk.

BTW there are plenty of American women that put "Brazillliaaann" woment to shame.

I remember a few Olympics ago, British medal hopeful, now commentator, javelin thrower Steve Backley, couldn't compete because he injured himself "falling off someone else's bed".

'Nuff said!

[RushLiberal]

C'mon - show more pictures!

Sex and the Olympics? How about "Sex and Life? This IS LIFE! PULEEEZE let's at least acknowledge that we exist because of SEX! Let's stop the HYPOCRICY of denying the process of life and move on with our evolution.

We mortals are fat and surrounded by fatties - it tends to dampen the sex drive.

"Here in Beijing, organisers have realised that such prohibitions are about as useful as banning breathing and have, instead, handed out thousands of free condoms to the athletes."


Chinese-made condoms? I don't know if I would trust those - do you know what their population is?

[research]

slowing it's growth dramatically.

[pathenry]

Of course they're having sex!

Doh!

As far as Chinese condoms go ... there a reason there are a billion Chinese! ;-)

Don't trust their rubber products

Go with Goodyear!

Listen, if I was there and had the opportunity, you better believe I'd be 'going for the gold' as much and often as possible..­something wrong with that?

[BannedInBoston]

Brazil definitely has my vote for best athletic uniforms at the Olympics..­..

Yeah, they're not even looking at her.

[ObamaismyHero08012]

I wonder if that is a "Brazillian Butt Lift"? if it is, then let the salivation begin

[sociocanuck]

I swear I only read stuff like this for the articles. Honest!

[walk0nwalls]

[Raspletziak]

Oh this is so much better than rape and killing on the battlefield.

This is the essence of the Olympic spirit.

Humans were forced to stay in peak condition to do battle with opposing tribes but the Olympics have given us a different reason to stay in top physical shape, to compete on the athletic field instead of the battlefield.

Even though these athletes are playing their hearts out and not giving a millimeter when in competition, they appear to have genuine respect and love for each other.

You lose the desire to rape and kill people if they are not shooting at you and threatening your life or invading your soil.

The Olympic playing field can be rough and extremely competitive but does not seem to instill the same animosity toward our opponent as does the battlefield where death and destruction leave lasting vengeful memories.

In fact it appears the youthful open minded athletes of the world are bonding and setting the stage for future world peace.

Politician who want to impose their ideology on the games by boycotting should not interfere with this very special international love-fest.

I noted the CBC's coverage of virtually any USA-Russia match in mens competitions including necessary reference to the "very pro Russia" and "pro USA" sections of the audience watching. In particular that men's indoor volleyball match. It's like they just couldn't resist the opportunity to unnecessarily turn the event into a geopolitical metaphor

I'm not even sure the US media would try to pull that one. Did they?

[AfricanusI]

I wish I was a member of any country's crew and after that guess what I would have done in the two weeks? Ha! ha! haaaaaaaaaaaaa! sweet adam's apple!

[AfricanusI]

Oh upon second thought, plainly and simple sex is healthy so long as you are doing it right, c'mon guys leave them alone for the peace of the world. Shagging is healthy!, got it?

When you have young people at the height of fitness and attractiveness you probably will have a lot of body contact. That is great along as no one gets hurt in any fashion. Good on them. Just wish I were 50 years younger and had their athletic prowress. Leave the righteous concerns to the puritan US which is most concerned about sexuality.
