Sex At The Olympics

16. August 2008 by Michael.

I have discussed this many times recently and no one believes me when I say that the Olympics is a breeding fest for athletes. Beijing provides 100,000 condoms for athletes. There are between 10,000-11,000 athletes participating in the Bejing games. You do the math.

Now that you have crunched the numbers and recovered from the shock, let’s think about this rationally for a minute. You have 10,000 professional athletes in at the peak of their hormones in their lives. They are all gathered together for a common purpose. They all share in a common background with a common dream. Most of them are attractive. Few are married. Throw in the sweet smell of victory combined with the bitter taste of defeat and wash it down with some alcohol. Are we getting the picture? Do you mean to tell me that when Michael Phelps finishes his last lap around the pool and begins walking around the Olympic grounds with more gold around his neck than Mr. T he won’t have at least one gymnast (or gymnastics team) throw herself/themselves at him?

Had someone told me about this at a younger age I would have made it my life’s goal to become an USA Olympic Team alternate (I’m convinced Phelps cannot be beaten). If anyone would like to start a curling team and shoot for the 2010 games in Vancouver or the 2014 games in Sochi let me know.

UPDATE: Apparently the athletes at the Beijing games are not living up to the standards set by previous Olympians. Current reports say that 2/3 of the 100,000 condoms made available to the athletes are still sitting unused. (http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=ap-oly–athletes-condoms&prov=ap&type=lgns)

How very, very sad. There again, now that Michael Phelps has finished the butterfly and the backstroke maybe he can get on to the breaststroke. ZING! That’s right. I went for the easy breaststroke joke.
