Seventeen days, 10,500 athletes, 33 venues, and 450,000 condoms. That’s how many camisinhas (little shirts in Brazilian slang) are being supplied by the International Olympics Committee for the 2016 Rio Summer Games. Forty-two per athlete, to be specific, which, even by Olympic standards, is a hell of a lot.

[ViLaLuz]

Nasty.

[discostu]

Even the serious athletes have a lot of fun. Really it’s a natural thing, you have a bunch of people in top physical condition in the prime of their lives, that’s a lot of sexual energy. Add to that the level of security that exists post Munich and the fact that they’re mostly locked into the Olympic with nothing to do except each other...

[Cowgirl of Justice]

It is disgusting. I won’t watch any of it. It is no longer a tradition for me to see the greatest athletes of the world. It is now nothing more than a contest to see who can slip enhancement drugs past the committee, an open invitation orgy or to see who can get the most money in endorsement fees.

My true heroes wear blues or fatigues.

[Robert DeLong]

Opening ceremony is Aug. 5th, and closing ceremony is Aug. 21st.

So that is 17 days.

42 / 17 = 2.47....

So roughly 2 1/2 per day per athlete, or 5 per day in coupling (his & hers). Am I being politically incorrect by making that assumption?

My experiences tell me that may not be enough, especially for physically fit females!!!

[SpinnerWebb]

I suggest our rowing team slide them over their shells before they enter that water.

[L,TOWM]

That’s per person, so actually it works out that a couple is stocked for 5 sessions a day...

[mancini]

Gee, it’s a wonder they’ll have any time to compete!

[digger48]

Clean and Jerk in weightlifting?

Pole Vault?

Womens Relay?

Men and Womens Doubles?

Doubles Mixed?

Team Mixed Equestrian Dressage?

Floor Exercises?

Gymnastics Rhythmic?

Eight With Coxswains (rowing)?

[SaveFerris]

Appears you summed it up quite nicely.

[Vigilanteman]

Good point. If I recall, our record was four times in a day . . . a couple of times during the honeymoon and a few more scattered days before our first child was implanted.

So, yeah, that's a bit excessive.

[butlerweave]

Gay get together

[CurlyDave]

They are going to have to make whoopie 2.5 times per day if they are going to blow through all 42. I might have come close to that on my honeymoon, but that was over 30 years ago.

Actually, the number is twice that high. It usually takes two people to use one condom.

[nascarnation]

Well they are world-class athletes....

;-)

[shotgun]

There have been lots of reports from previous games that the sex in the athletes villages is quite rampant.

[bgill]

Best to use all at one time for better protection.

[Crucial]

That should hold them for a few days, ni more.

[nevergore]

I call 42 just a good start my regular morning....

[ssfromla]

sluts and he hoes

[quesney]

“SO are the athletes there to compete, or to screw?”

Compete at screwing, I guess.

[Molon Labbie]

Wow, it looks like everyone is expected to win the gold in horizontal PT.
