Paris Olympics Lifts ‘Intimacy Ban,’ Seeks Massive Supply of Condoms

The 2024 Paris Olympics will be doing away with one of the rule changes introduced during the previous Summer Games in Tokyo back in ’21.

The Tokyo Games introduced an intimacy ban in light of the breakout of the COVID-19 virus, preventing athletes from getting into close contact, including hugs and handshakes, and were even asked to avoid singing and chanting.

Those guidelines will not be in place during the event in Paris, and the Olympic village will be supplied with a staggering 300,000 condoms for the Games, according to Sky News. Roughly 14,250 people are anticipated to reside in the village, including 9,000 athletes.
