I swear every olympics has something around this. something about having people at the peak of physical ability all hanging out together.
There was an interview with an Olympian who said its not really that much of a hook up time. Its that you only get this one chance to take olympic condoms. So people just grab them as souvenirs. Who wouldn't want to take home an olympic condom?
Poor Olympian was the only one not invited to the orgy apparently.
Also the article mentions they have a logo on them.
I don't know about you but, given the opportunity, I'd bring home Olympic condoms as a souvenir whether I used any or not.
