‘Anti-sex’ beds installed inside athletes village for Paris Olympics

Paris may be known as the City of Love, but the Olympics will be a different story with organisers attempting to squash the romance.

“Anti-sex” beds have been installed at the Paris Olympics sites - after athletes admitted to kinky orgies.

Paris 2024 chiefs have included the special frames in the Olympic Village ahead of the Summer Games, The Sun reports.

And that will see beds made out of cardboard - with the frames and mattresses completely recyclable.

The idea is said to be to try and prevent athletes from getting too hot and bothered during the night while also prioritising sustainability.

But the unusual materials have led to some dubbing them as “anti-sex” beds, particularly because they are single frames and potentially not as sturdy as regular ones.

And that could therefore see Olympians more reluctant to get involved in more frisky antics in the City of Love.

Incredibly, though, the beds made by Airweave that were also used in Tokyo are said to withstand more than 200kg of weight.

And that should be plenty for any athletes hoping to get to know each other a bit better away from the sporting action.

The Olympics has forged a strong and steamy reputation for the raunchy behaviour of its athletes during Games.

So much so that the intimacy ban installed to prevent Covid spreading in Tokyo in 2021 has been lifted for this year.

A whopping 300,000 condoms will be made available for free for the 9,000 athletes in Paris - enough for each to have two per day throughout the Games which run from July 26 to August 11.

And after the restrictions from last time out, no doubt the world’s top sports stars will take full advantage.

There are countless tales from previous Games of various wild sex stories.

That included an alleged orgy in a hot tub one year and former US footballer Hope Solo claiming she saw people “having sex right out in the open, on the grass, between buildings”.

One anonymous Team GB athlete even claimed to have had a foursome with one teammate and two women in a communal dorm at London 2012.

He said: “You could have slept with a different woman every other night of the Games if you wanted to. More if you had your own room, like some of the athletes did.”

Fellow 2012 ace and former footballer Micah Richards also revealed what went on behind the scenes.

He told the Rest is Football podcast: “It was the party of all parties. You got all the different athletes, all sorts of different specimens in there.

“We were there for three nights, we went training, come back to the village, them three nights we were up to 4am.

“You have different campuses, Team GB in one block, Brazil, France, all these countries, and there’s a massive big room full of condoms!

“It was like what, obviously promoting safe sex, and honest to God, I was on fire.

“I was on absolute fire, honestly. I was a little slimmer, a bit more ripped, bit more lean, it was summer time, walking around with my top off.

“There was multiple gold medals, one of the best times of my life, it was incredible.”
