The president of the Swedish Federation of Sex, Dragan Bratych, remarked that he hoped that sex will eventually be acknowledged as a sport.

Sweden to organise first-ever sex championship

The first-ever sex tournament is set to take place early next week in Sweden, by an organisation named “Swedish Federation of Sex”. Named the European Sex Championship, the competition is scheduled to take place on June 8 under the supervision of the organisation.

Participants in the championship will compete for six hours each day over the course of many weeks with individual ‘matches’ reportedly lasting 45 to 60 minutes. The competition will last several weeks and the competitors from different European countries will face off in 16 different disciplines to showcase their talents and abilities.

Participants to earn 5 to 10 points for different sex acts

The championship features a wide range of disciplines, including seduction, body massages, exploring erotic zones, prelude, oral sex, penetration, endurance, physical appearance, pose execution, creativity in position changes and the number of orgasms within a given time, artistic performance and pose transitions, and the capacity to raise blood pressure and heart rate during the competition.

Additional categories consist of the most exquisite and complicated position, the most creative communication as determined by a panel and spectators, the pair who exhibits the most activity, artistry in the Kamasutra, and popularity among the judges and viewers.

The competition is separated into three stages, with each level requiring a certain number of points in order to advance. Participants can earn between 5 and 10 points in each discipline, which is decided by a mix of public votes and a panel of five judges.

Competitors of any gender or sexual orientation welcomed

The European Sex Championship values diversity and accepts competitors of any gender or sexual orientation. The organisers emphasise the potential strategic value of sexual orientation in this sport, which they hope may eventually be adopted by other European nations.

The organiser stated, “The incorporation of sexual orientation as a part of sporting tactics will be a groundbreaking development among European countries.”

The president of the Swedish Federation of Sex, Dragan Bratych, remarked that he hoped that sex will eventually be acknowledged as a sport. He highlighted the likelihood of sexual engagement to promote both physical and mental well-being and the need for training. He voiced, “Just like any other sport, achieving desired results in sex requires training. Therefore, it is only logical for people to start competing in this domain as well.”

He stressed the distinctive features of this sport, where the goal is to give the opponent great pleasure. In contrast to traditional sports, when losing often results in disappointment, the competitor’s success in this game is determined by their capacity to satisfy their partner.

Other sports may demoralise rivals, but sex as a sport seeks to make everyone as happy as possible. According to Bratych, “The more pleasure your partner experiences, the more points you earn.”

As per the Swedish Sex Federation, sex as a sport is a challenging activity that calls for inventiveness, emotional intelligence, physical health, and work capacity. The federation’s president asserted that the competition regulations will change over time in response to developments and demands.

A similar bizarre incident had drawn huge ire in 2021 when students of a Roman Catholic college in Minnesota in the US were caught organising ‘sex competitions’ on the campuses. Reportedly, a group of students from St. John’s University, an all-male university, launched a competition to see who could lure the maximum number of female students from their sister school, the College of St. Benedict, an all-female college, and have the most sexual encounters with them. The competition was organised by students living in Saint Patrick Hall of St. John’s University.

Hundreds of students had then attended an outdoor demonstration and sit-in organized by the College of St. Benedict’s Institute for Women’s Leadership to protest against the alleged competition.

So the joke "casual sex implies there's competitive sex" was taken seriously.

[-] macrocephalic@lemmy.fmhy.ml 20 points 1 year ago

Great, another sport I can be picked last for.

This is just an advertising campaign for a porn site

There is a link on the sex federation website

[-] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

It took me like 5 seconds to fact check this.

Not real.

Come on guys, you have google too, at least try.

[-] akippnn@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

By "not real," you mean it won't happen, but there was still a clear attempt to hold it as a sport.

A press release from the Swedish Sports Confederation (Riksidrottsförbunde, RF) as follows:

It would be an expensive sport anyway, as it would be pretty difficult to market.

[-] Snickeboa@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

What do you mean?

Drayan Bratych has applied to the Swedish Sports Confederation for his organization to be officially recognized. They have not done so yet and said that they don’t intend to prioritize it or something along those lines.

So it’s not official I’m any way, but what’s described is what Drayan intends to have the “sport” be.

[-] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Where are you getting this information? Because when I google that dudes name I get one article from a tabloid website that has zero cited sources and like nothing else.

[-] Snickeboa@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I have heard it on multiple occasions in Swedish podcasts. Apart from the the other response you got with a source from the Swedish Sports Confederation, I found you some news articles on it. They are in Swedish, since it’s the source.

Here’s his first inquiry to get it classified as a sport: https://sverigesradio.se/artikel/strippkungen-vill-att-sex-klassas-som-sport-riksidrottsforbundet-rasar And here’s on the sex event he wants to hold:

He’s known for these kinds of things in Sweden. He has gotten in a fight with McDonald’s over logo infringement with his strip club sign:

Oh. Maybe I’m wrong. I don’t speak Swedish so I’ll just take your word for it.

[-] Snickeboa@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah. But you got the gist of it. He's probably not going to get "sex" recognized as a sport anytime soon. Also, I wouldn't be surprised is this sex contest of his is going to get shut down before its held - depending on how he has organized it.

[-] fomo_erotic@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

So are we thinking 🤔 this would be more like figure skating? Perhaps power lifting? Maybe 🥋 judo?

I want to see a triple spin.

[-] Greg@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

I could probably get gold in the sprints

[-] bilboswaggings@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago

Finally a sport where you might actually win if you suck

[-] TheYang@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Anyone noticed that this was supposed to have already taken place?

Seemingly, it didn't go well, but there still may be a winner?

By a lot of people, this is considered a hoax, as no national body in any way credited this "european sex championship", but the event possibly took place?

[-] TheRealLinga@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Whoa our names are similar wooo

[-] grte@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

Talk about performance anxiety. Imagine a gold medal is on the line.

[-] SmokeFree@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Japanese will win this ez.

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

They'd lose points on physical appearance with all the pixellation though.

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

Reminds me of a line in Peep Show: "Sex will never be in the Olympics because of China. China wouldn't allow it"

[-] Watcher@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago

I don't know why but I'm not surprised that it takes place in Sweden.

[-] GNUgit@lemmy.perthchat.org 4 points 1 year ago

This is a sport I can get behind.

[-] Crabhands@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I'm applying to compete. Please send applications to join my team. Try outs start next week.

[-] Candelestine@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago

I would have no problems with this.
