Suddenly very interested in Tonga’s Olympic team – or so the meme goes. And sure, the Olympic Games is a historic and cultural phenomenon celebrating the peak of human physique. Which we all enjoy drooling over. From the crotch grabs in the men’s diving to the recent pole vaulting spectacular, is it any surprise that there’s 200,000 male condoms made available for the athletes in year?
And while rumours abounded of the anti-sex beds of Tokyo, the athletes themselves were quick to reassure us that wasn’t going to be an issue. Here’s Aussies Ellen Perez and Dalia Sav giving them a test – although we’re also a fan of Tom Daley’s test video as well!

And while some people who don’t visit our site may take offence at the lustful gawking, the horny side of the games has really been around from the very beginning. How else can you get a sweat on, body to body but not be in bed?
In the beginning there were naked Greeks and they liked to touch… a lot.
In this article:
The Olympic Games can be traced back to 776 BCE in Olympia, Greece – which is why Greece always leads the Olympic opening ceremony parade of nations. These early games were deeply intertwined with Greek ideals of physical beauty, athleticism, and excellence. The term gymnasium itself comes from the Greek word “gymnos,” meaning naked, as athletes competed in the nude. Yep, stark bollock naked! Aesthetics aside, this was a tribute to the gods and a celebration of the human body’s perfection.
In ancient Greece, the male form was idolized and considered the epitome of beauty and strength. The athletes’ nudity underscored their physical attributes and was seen as a symbol of their dedication, discipline, and divine favour. Balls out and in play, literally.
The Modern Olympics and thirsty athletes
Fast forward today and we have nearly 11,000 men and women at their physical peak plus their support teams all in one location. And with some of the stories we’ve heard about sex at the Olympics, 200,000 condoms might not be enough.
What stories you ask? Well…
The fastest man alive
Usain Bolt, once known as the fastest man alive, once dominated the men’s 100m and 200m races, winning multiple gold medals across three Olympic Games (2008, 2012, 2016). And during the 2016 Rio Olympics, he made headlines for his celebratory antics, which included partying late into the night, flashing his abs at women he hoped to woo, and being more of a marathon lover in the bedroom.
I just wanted to party
The way American Shooter Josh Lakatos tells it, he was just there for the party when he picked the lock of an empty suite. It was the US Track and Field team that claimed the spare rooms.
“The next morning, swear to God, the entire women’s 4×100 relay team of some Scandinavian-looking country walks out of the house, followed by boys from our side. And I’m just going, ‘Holy crap, we’d watched these girls run the night before.'”
Right in front of my salad
Hope Solo is a celebrated U.S. soccer goalkeeper, known for her success at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, where she won gold medals. In her memoir, Solo revealed that the Olympic Village, where athletes stay during the Games, she was anything but SOLO and it was a hotbed of lustful encounters.
“I’ve seen people having sex right out in the open,” Solo said. “On the grass, between buildings, people are getting down and dirty.”
Everyone’s on OnlyFans

“I am making more from OnlyFans than I am from rowing at this stage,” Robbie Manson, New Zealand rower says. With 3 Olympic Games and no medals to his name yet, Manson is just one of many gay male athletes using the OnlyFans platform to pay for his sporting dreams.
Other notable athletes doing this are UK diving medallist Jack Laugher and Australia’s Matthew Mitcham. “A lot of athletes have stored up physical issues for ourselves down the track with the intensity of our training. So when it comes to this particular resource, it makes sense to cash in when the product is at its peak – when everything is nice and tight, sitting high and bulging in all the right places!” Mitcham said to QNews in a recent interview.
As for what you can expect to see on an athlete’s OnlyFans? Artistic nudes, according to Robbie Manson. But he says you’ll need to subscribe to find out exactly how artistic.
Is objectifying athletes okay?
While the “sexy” side of the Olympics can be an engaging and appealing aspect, it also raises ethical considerations. If you noticed the section on athlete OnlyFans really only covered male athletes, you’re not wrong. It’s certainly notable that most of the sexualisation in recent years has been of male Olympians, and even that’s much toned down from the Rio diving showers.
Part of this is due to a code of conduct on how the media is allowed to capture and portray athletes, especially of female athletes given the tendency of certain commentators to reduce women to their traditional gender role or sexual appeal. It’s essential to strike a balance between celebrating physical excellence and respecting the athletes’ dignity and autonomy. TL;DR thinking someone is sexy is okay. Writing erotic fanfiction about them is kinda creepy.
The sexy side of the Olympics
From the naked Greeks of ancient Olympia to the modern-day Olympic spectacles, the allure of athleticism and the celebration of the human form have been constant themes. The “sexy” side of the Olympics is not just about physical attractiveness; it’s about the admiration of human potential, discipline, and the pursuit of excellence.
And hey, if you were at the peak of your physical form and bulging in all the right places, wouldn’t you want to get it on while you could?
