‘Anti-sex’ beds have arrived at Paris Olympics — after horny athletes admit to orgies amid competition

The claims made in the New York Post article about 'anti-sex' beds at the Paris 2024 Olympics suggest that the beds are designed to discourage athletes from engaging in sexual activities by collapsing under the weight of more than one person. However, this claim has been debunked by multiple sources. The beds, produced by Airweave, are made from recyclable materials and are part of the sustainability efforts for the Paris 2024 Olympics. The same type of beds were used in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where similar claims were made and subsequently debunked. Athletes and officials demonstrated that the beds are robust and can withstand significant weight, with the primary purpose being environmental sustainability rather than preventing sexual activities. Paris 2024 organizers have also denied that the beds are intended to be 'anti-sex,' emphasizing their environmental credentials instead France24, Inside the Games, USA Today. Therefore, the notion that these beds are specifically designed to prevent sexual activities among athletes is misleading and not supported by evidence.
