Yikes! Covered In Bees post was not there when I started writing.
Confused dart cum:
Meh, whatever.
People still tend to have sexual relations with people closer to their age than not. And also with people with the same interests.
EDIT: GuanoLad, why don’t you have seat right over there? What were you planning on doing here tonight?
You say it like it’s a bad thing.
If you are going to have sex use them for that. If you are not, make ballon animals, or have water ballon fights*.
*When I was a little kid our neighbor was the nurse at the “Family Planning” section of the local hospital. When she had very old condoms that hadn’t been distributed she took them home and gave us to us kids to have water ballon fights. It took me more than a decade to figure out why those “balloons” came “rolled” like that. 
They were great for that purpose, as they exploded on contact.
Okay, I agree to stipulate that all bunny-level boinking in London will be in age appropriate couples; I should have not tossed that particular issue into the mix.
My point was just that if one’s image of the athletes is wide-eyed innocents in their mid-teens, one might have a more protective attitude.
I am not criticizing the donation and distribution of condoms at the games.
And that is even creepier. He is twice her age. Did I say creepy? Hell, that is flat out skeevy. She may be a fully physiologically mature female, but that does not mean she is a sociological adult.
If she wants to play doctor, it should be with the athletes her own age.
With a condom.
Either that, or they can do the whole shaving cream on the pillow thing with them.
Just wondering - do the athletes each get a range of sizes?
I remember that a (gay) friend of ours once gave us a safe sex toolbox that consisted of about a dozen condoms in various sizes and styles.
And yes, it then became a challenge to try them all as quickly as possible.
Has anyone seen the condoms? Do they come in a special Olympic Ring package (officially endorsed by the IOC?).
These might become collector’s items.
If they don’t get Gold, even after 20 years I have a suspicion that the answer isn’t going to be the one you think …
Si
they should be in packs of 5 and reflect the olympic colours at least :dubious:
Gotta wonder, if instead of Faster, Higher, Stronger
We would see Harder, Deeper, Longer
The aforementioned Tom Daley competed in the 2008 Olympics. He was 14. Have they changed this recently?
Different sports have different age requirements.
Upthread I mentioned the 600 condoms that my mother sent me off to college with. She gave me another bag with at least as many when I saw her again at Christmas.
Even with the greatest of all possible ambition I could not have used about six per day, every day, for months on end. My hormone riddled teen heart was certainly willing but my body was not able to keep up such a pace.
I threw a lot of them like confetti at the football games. Several were blown up and bounced around the crowd like oblong beach balls. Most weren’t and I never saw them on the ground after the game.
I kept the bag o’ fun by my dorm room door and would occasionally see my door open slightly, and a hand reach into the bag. No questions asked.
The vast majority of the atheletes have no chance at gold and they know it. For most of them, their goal is to have their best ever performance at the games.
Assuming this isn’t a simple wisecrack, may I ask what you mean? Is it explicit in the Hunger Games that the characters are celibate?
Bless your mom.
This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where he dated a former gymnast. He was hoping that when they had sex she would treat him like ‘the apparatus.’
It’s not explicit, but there’s no mention of anything teens 12-18 without supervision would be doing.
Having condoms doesn’t mean you’re going to have sex.
If that was true, people would buy more condoms.
[joke I saw online]
guy: My Olympic condoms have arrived, I’m wearing Gold tonight.
gal: Why don’t you wear Silver and come in second for a change?
