The So-Called 'Anti-Sex Beds' Are Returning For The Paris Olympics

The So-Called 'Anti-Sex Beds' Are Returning For The Paris Olympics

One of the most salacious headlines of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (technically the 2021 Olympics, for obvious reasons) was that to combat Olympic athletes' supposedly infamous levels of horniness, Tokyo introduced so-called "anti-sex beds" to dissuade the competitors from getting it on en masse during the games.

It appears those beds are back, according to an eye-popping story from the New York Post that pulled out all the stops to liven up a story about beds at the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics.

The article claims, "‘Anti-sex’ beds have arrived at Paris Olympics — after horny athletes admit to orgies amid competition," but as wild as that sounds, it's not exactly true.

New York Post salacious headline

The athletes in Tokyo slept on twin-sized beds supported by cardboard frames. The design is made by the company Airweave. An unfounded rumor started by Argentinian news organization Olé claimed that the small and supposedly unstable beds would break upon sudden movement, and this was the Olympics' way of dissuading athletes from shacking up and potentially spreading COVID-19.

The rumor began to snowball, and as interest in the beds during Tokyo arose, Inside the Games issued a press release stating that the beds are made for sustainability purposes, not chastity purposes.

The beds can reportedly hold up to 441 pounds, and one athlete at the games, Irish gymnast Rhys McClenaghan, actively worked to disprove the rumor by posting a video of themselves jumping on an Olympic bed.

Social media couldn't resist the Post's buzzy headline, however, and began joking about the idea that the Olympics have "anti-sex beds."

Despite the "anti-sex bed" rumor being disproved as a hoax, the Post livened up its story with tales of debauchery from athletes' past, reminding readers of previous times Olympic athletes said the games were an exceptional place to find one-night stands and thrilling "group" activity.
