So-called "anti-sex beds" are at the center of a slew of Olympics-related headlines this week thanks to an apparent lack of imagination that’s gripping the entire planet at the moment.
At any rate, here’s the short of it: As seen in an increasingly widely referenced and/or aggregated New York Post slice of reliably ludicrous salaciousness, Airweave is indeed providing thousands of beds for the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. These aren’t just any old beds, however, as they mark a return to virality, of sorts, for an environmentally friendly design that previously bounced into the news cycle amid coverage of the mid-pandemic 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
A prior Inside the Games report by Geoff Berkeley circa July 2023 noted that the cardboard beds in question are "largely made from recycled material," with Airweave founder Motokuni Takaoka, clearly at odds with how the beds are joked about among non-Olympians, making a point to highlight what he said was their decidedly "strong" construction.
This, of course, is in line with what happened amid bed chatter during Tokyo festivities. Merely burdening athletes with laughably small beds is not in and of itself a deterrent for fucking, thus calling these things "anti-sex beds" is both a bit of a reach and an act of disrespect toward humankind’s repeatedly proven ingenuity when it comes to all manner of fuckery. In 2021, the Olympics expressed agreement with this assessment by thanking gymnast Rhys Mcclenaghan for "debunking the myth."
Adding to that is the fact that, as reported earlier this year, there is no "intimacy ban" in place this time around. Furthermore, hundreds of thousands of condoms will be made available.
But will any of that halt the jokes ahead of the July kickoff of the 2024 Summer Olympics? Of course not. Below, take the proverbial plunge. Thankfully, while the jokes are indeed flying as high as one might expect, plenty of people have also pointed out how it's actually pretty unfair to outright deem these as "anti-sex beds," but I digress. I always fucking digress.
