As the Olympics wind down, the heat of Beijing, China, due to get even hotter tonight..Countless media sources have detailed over the past week the amount of sexual encounters that athletes at the Olympics have historically had.. Beijing with all of its cameras and government meddling will be no different: Athletes of different backgrounds will do what unites all of humanity..
Athletes have received free condoms at the Olympic games since Barcelona in 1992..
Also this week, the TIMES ONLINE detailed out the amount of sex that occurs within the Olympic village.. Writing in the TIIMES, former British table tennis star and Olympic athlete, Matthew Syed, said,
"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. Indeed, for all I knew I did pass out - in a place like that how was one to tell the difference between dreamland and reality?
It was not just the guys. The women, too, seemed in thrall to their hormones, throwing around daring glances and dynamite smiles like confetti. No meal or coffee break was complete without a breathless conversation with a lithe long jumper from Cuba or an Amazonian badminton player from Sweden, the mutual longing so evident it was almost comical. It was an effort of will to keep everything in check until competition had finished. But, once we were eliminated from our respective competitions, we lunged at each other like suicidal fencers. There may have been a fair amount of gay sex going on, too - but given the notorious homophobia in sport it was rather more covert. "
Syed continued throughout the article citing the events of 1992 as though he were penning a romance novel.. Sopped up with sweat and sex, sticky with love and desire. Syed also wrote that the gold medalists were the most sought out by those seeking lovin' .. Michael Phelps, lock your door.
The media ate this story up this week.. But Syed's piece has to be at least partially true.
Think of that when you watch those beautiful closing ceremonies tomorrow night.. As you watch those athletes give their winks and nods. Not to you, but to the partner from the exotic land that they may never see again.
Knock before entering. Or don't enter at all.
