With the upcoming Olympics being held in Paris, the preparation for the mega event has already begun. And this time, it has taken an initiative of lifting the ban on intimacy in the Olympic Village, which was imposed in Tokyo 2020.
Removing the ban is welcomed along with the distribution of 3 lakh condoms to more than 14 thousand athletes to provide a comfortable environment.
The announcement has been made by Laurent Michaud, the director of Olympic Village, who has removed this ban while imposing restrictions on champagne in the village area. As it can affect the performance of an athlete, it is advised not to drink during the performances. The drinks will be available for them in the city of Paris.
The tradition of condom distribution has been going on since the 1988 Seoul Olympics to promote sexual awareness and prevention of HIV AIDS. Even the Tokyo Olympics had this tradition despite the intimacy ban.
Now that the ban is removed, people are giving thousands of reactions to this. While some argue that the ban should be continued as athletes are going Paris to perform in such a prestigious event not to have sex while others argue over the fact that intimacy can help in enhancing the performance of an athlete. Do let us know your thoughts on this.
