Every time the Olympics roll around, there are ALWAYS stories about how much the athletes get with each other in the Olympic Village.
Well, now there's talk that Olympic officials in Tokyo are trying to curtail the naughtiness . . . by making the athletes sleep on CARDBOARD BEDS.
They were designed by a Japanese company called Airweave, and the FRAMES are made from cardboard, while the mattresses are made from plastic fibers.
The idea is apparently that the beds will be fine for one person . . . but if two (or MORE) people jump in the sack together, the beds would collapse.
American distance runner Paul Chelimo joked about it on Twitter. Quote, "We are moving from an era of BREAKING BAD to BREAKING BED . . . [and] those who pee on the bed are at risk here, once the carton box is wet the bed falls over."
But another Olympian, Irish gymnast Rhys Mcclenaghan, posted a video saying that the beds are very sturdy. He even jumped on one to prove that the no-sex thing isn't true.
The Olympics Organizing Committee is also distributing condoms as they do for every Olympics . . . but they claim this is NOT to encourage sex in Tokyo, but for the athletes to take home and raise awareness for safe sex in their own countries.
