\nWhile the pandemic will impact many of the Olympics, the condom tradition shall go on. 160,000 condoms will be handed out to the more than 11,000 expected athletes in Tokyo during this year\u2019s Olympics, even as a state of emergency has been declared. However, they will not be given out until the conclusion of the Games, as the Olympic Village \u2014 which has previously been a hotspot for sex among athletes residing in close quarters \u2014 will be under intense restrictions to limit the spread of COVID-19. Instead of being used, game organizers are saying that the condoms are intended to be taken home and used to raise awareness for HIV and AIDS. \u201cThe distribution of condoms is not to use in the village,\u201d Olympic village manager Takashi Kitajima said. Hundreds of thousands of free condoms have been given out at the Olympics since the Seoul 1988 Games to encourage safe sex. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of sex going on,\u201d two-time gold medal-winning American soccer goalie Hope Solo told ESPN in 2012. \u201cI\u2019ve seen people having sex right out in the open. On the grass, between buildings, people are getting down and dirty.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m running a friggin\u2019 brothel in the Olympic Village! I\u2019ve never witnessed so much debauchery in my entire life,\u201d added American rifle shooter Josh Lakatos. Unfortunately for the athletes, this year will be quite different, as they will have to limit the sex and focus on the Games. But hey, that\u2019s what they are there for\u2026 right?<\/p>\n
