Paris 2024 to order half a million condoms ahead of Olympic mega romps in the athletes’ village in the sexiest summer games ever


- Rio 2016 is the last summer Olympics to set the record for condoms supplied with 450,000.
- Paris 2024 is set to go beyond that total with a forecast of around 500,000 to be needed to keep up with the athletes in action this summer.
- LA 2028 could threaten to pass the 600,000 mark in four years time if the current trend for sex at the Olympics continues to rise.
Paris 2024 is set to be the most sexed up summer Olympics yet according to research that has forecast the need for around half a million condoms to serve the needs of athletes at this year’s games.
LuckyBlock.com crunched the numbers on the supply of condoms at games since records for this sort of thing began at Seoul in 1988 and found an upwards trend that could see Paris, already recognised as a global centre for romance and more, break records.
Summer Olympics | Estimated Number of Condoms |
LA 1984 | NA |
Seoul 1988 | 8,500 |
Barcelona 1992 | 90,000 |
Atlanta 1996 | 15,000 |
Sydney 2000 | 90,000 |
Athens 2004 | 130,000 |
Beijing 2008 | 100,000 |
London 2012 | 150,000 |
Rio 2016 | 450,000 |
Tokyo 2020 | 160,000 |
Paris 2024 | 500,000 |
The story of sex at the Olympics, with its tales of cardboard beds to keep athletes from bonking and plumbing crises due to the amount of prophylactics being flushed, is always a key area of interest for casual observers of the games.
Since 1988, there has been a 3,429.41% increase in the number of condoms supplied, with a 200% increase since Beijing in 2008.
There was a dip at Tokyo 2020 but with COVID-19 disrupting the games, and leading to social distancing measures, that drop is due to world events rather than a decline in athletes wishing to take part in events outside of the usual Olympic scheduling.
Paris is set to receive an initial supply of 300,000 condoms, equal to the number that were sent to Rio de Janeiro 2016 where an extra 150,000 needed to be ordered in the end to keep up with demand. How anyone thought that the home of the Rio Carnival and a city with one of the sexiest reputations in the world wouldn’t need more than the original order is beyond us!
While Paris isn’t quite as hot and steamy as Brazil’s largest party town, it has its own reputation to live up as a worldwide hotspot for romance, seduction, scandalous affairs and so much more. It is also the capital of France, with the French often living up their image as a people of intense passions and flamboyant gestures.
Therefore, it can be safe to predict that this summer’s Olympics games are set to be the steamiest ever, at least in terms of the demand it places on condom suppliers, with that initial order of 300,000 likely to swell to around half a million in total.
Next up after Paris will be Los Angeles in 2028, and while that city may be better known for its impact on culture through Hollywood, the music industry and other sectors, it’s another glamorous locale that could help to set pulses racing in four years time.
If Paris is to hit around the 500,000 mark for condoms needed, LA 2028 is forecast to threaten a final count of 600,000 due to the average increase between each edition of the games of 49.1% since 2004.
LuckyBlock.com therefore predicts that come the 2028 Olympics, we can expect a low end forecast of 447,212 condoms and a high end of 556,638, but it’s Paris 2024 that should become the first games to surpass the half a million mark.
Dagmar Janssen, spokesperson for LuckyBlock.com said: “Paris 2024 is set to feature 329 Olympic events and more than 10,500 athletes but we know there will be other activities for these competitors to indulge in during their stay in the French capital.
“This summer we forecast that around half a million condoms will be needed to keep up with demand in the athletes’ village during the games – that’s 47.62 condoms per Olympian.
“While this select group of individuals may be some of the most physically fit humans in the world, we can only hope that this extra athletic load doesn’t take away from their stamina or performance levels during their actual events.
“Looking even further ahead, and after Rio 2016 set the record at 450,000 condoms, a number that Paris 2024 is set to smash this summer, the next summer Olympics in Los Angeles in four years time could raise the bar yet again.
“While the athletes themselves will be busy setting new personal bests, both in competition and in the festivities after dark by the looks of it, it looks like the Olympic games themselves can set new records for sex this summer too.”
