Sex Is Back at 2024 Paris Olympics
Quick Glance: Paris 2024 Olympics: Intimacy Ban Lifted, Extensive Condom Stock in Olympic Village
  • Authorities have made the decision to lift the intimacy ban for the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris and equip the Olympic Village with a substantial supply of condoms, as revealed by Olympic Village's director, Laurent Michaud, in an interview with Sky News.

  • In the recent Olympic Games held in Tokyo, Japan in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, regulations concerning intimacy were enforced.

  • Stringent measures were taken to prevent the spread of the virus, with athletes being instructed to minimize their physical contact and maintain an appropriate distance from each other.

  • Since the Seoul Olympics in 1988, it has become customary to provide condoms at the Games to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS.
