144.000 condoms for 4000 under 18 athletes in Youth Olympic Village

Morals is not even close to meaning the same thing as ethics. Learn the difference and also stop judging others.

It totally makes sense. You have thousands of fit (thus mostly better-looking than the average) and healthy 16-18 years old reunited in 1 place without parents. Of course many will want to have sex and they will. So it's a good thing the IOC helps to make it safe.

I went to a similar event (but Europeans only) when I was 16. We were there for 10 days, I had only 2 races to do and they were on days 2 and 4. So plenty of time to meet people, go cheering the tennis players and the handball teams of my country (those 2 sports were taking place right next to the track). All athletes were sleeping at the same college campus (it was end July so the college students were not there). We also had a cultural journey all athletes together and they organized a huge party for us. Obviously there was a lot of flirting going on, amongst athletes of the same country but different sports as well as between athletes from different countries. Definitely one of the 2 periods of my life where I witnessed the most casual sex (the other one being my year as an exchange student).

I have great memories of that event ; the races themselves, the good atmosphere, that hot French soccer player I dated for some days and the friends I made there (18 years later, I am still good friend with 3 of the handballers I met there).

I wish all those guys and girls to enjoy the competition (take it seriously and give their best) as well as the experience as a whole (travelling in a national team, meet people from different sports and cultures and, if they want, the safe sexual encounters).

I would hand it back. What ever happened to waiting for your soulmate and marriage? It is sick that the IAAF would allow and encourage people to act this way. What a joke.

You’re a disgusting animal. Do us a favour and just f66k off. I’m serious. Just f77k off you prick.

You mad bro? Your the disgusting one. If these people can easily get up to such unethical debauchery then it is likely they would dope without hesitation. I would never act that way if I was in the village.

Age of consent in Argentina is 13, so yeah, provide condoms.

Maybe I'm taking your comment "one of the 2 periods of my life where I witnessed the most casual sex" too literally, but I would have thought this would be a stumbling block. Were there a lot of people having sex with others watching, threesomes, multiple couples etc.?

Hopefully I understand what you mean correctly and I used the good words to tell what I had in mind (English is not my first language).

What I called casual sex at the event was just 2 people "dating" for 3-4 days, kissing and possibly having sex , but I called it casual because it was sex very soon after meeting and without perspective of a long term relationship (since it was mostly between people from 2 different countries). People were 15-16.

Casual sex while exchange student was the same as above as well as sex with others watching, or multiple couples. The most liberal being the Australians and the Brasilians. Age 16-18.

Only two things wrong with that sandy, you'd never be in the village, and nobody wants to have sex with you.

Agreed.

I feel like this comes up everytime there is a big international competition with an athlete's village. Olympics or otherwise.

While I don't discount the athletes being pent up horn dogs and getting down all the time. I also could see many of them trolling the "counters" and thinking "they're giving out all the condoms, how funny would it be if we took them all and they think each person is having sex like 40 times".

I know when the health office at school would have a condom bowl, it would always go empty almost immediately.

I have no problem with them doing this at the Olympics or WCs. I find it off-putting that they are proving it for the U18 championships.

Let's run, where the average male was a virgin until age 30.

lotta dudes in this thread defending another man's right to their wife's vagina. respect. especially in this day and age where women rule every aspect of our lives it's pretty powerful stuff.

That is a lot of sex. Too exhausted to compete.

Obviously you were never 18.

It's true that in general, sex doesn't affect your performance. But in this study, researchers concluded that the recovery capacity of an athlete could be affected if he had sexual intercourse approximately 2 hours before a competition event.

don't confuse morals and ethics.

morals are our personal rules that help us make choices in our life.

ethics are a set of rules agreed between members of a group.

the Association of Medical Practitioners, for example, have a set of ethics they expect their members to abide by and doctors can be struck off for unethical behaviour. individual doctors have their own personal morals. their morals are sometimes their guide to not abiding by the ethics of their organisation.

as to the use of condoms. I personally believe that encouraging safe sex is preferable to blindly pretending that youngsters do not have sex at all. but then I don't believe in God, so I'm probably a heathen in your eyes.

cheers.

I'd take a handful of them with me home as collector's items. It's mostly a marketing ploy anyway. Some of the 70 year olds on the organizing committe's been bribed, easy money, no-one gets hurt, big ROI in terms of it getting talked about on places like here.

Or three years from now I'd sell them to 25 year old forum poster wannabes who could try picking up girls in bars by showing them, lying through their teeth; "I used to be in the Youth Olympics you know, before the knee gave out, had to sell all the memorabilia to get money for the treatment, but I forgat a couple of condoms, check the print on the label." Later: "Wanna go back to my place and check how much endurance I still have?"

Ethics are even more simple than that. Just ask yourself; "Would I like to read in the daily paper in details about this thing I'm about to do?"

If the answer is No then it's unethical...

If that were true, what you ever go to the bathroom?

So you dont believe a person is entitled to a private life?

What is peoples fascination with the number of condoms they give out at sporting events (and really why do they have to give them away, people should buy their own)? They don't publicize how much toilet paper they go through, how much soap and shampoo they use or how many bottles of water they go through. Just more horse crap from the big latex lobby.
