The surprising truth about the Olympic Games’ ‘anti-sex beds’
NY Post
They won’t be getting gold medals for abstinence.
Athletes hoping to get frisky during the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris appeared to have their dreams dashed after organizers announced they were ordering the same “anti-sex” beds used at the 2020 Tokyo Games.
But the 16,000 modular mattresses made by Japanese company Airweave and sent to the City of Love ahead of the opening ceremony on July 26 are safe for sex, The Post can reveal.
Photographs of the twin-size mattresses — made of polyethylene and set up on cardboard bed frames — recently raised eyebrows, with many speculating they were designed to deter any amorous activity.
However, looks can be deceiving.
Airweave US’ Chief Operating Officer Brett Thornton told The Post that the cardboard frames are even “designed far sturdier than typical wooden bed frames,” meaning athletes can go for the gold on the mattresses night after night.
