Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The Olympics have long promoted safe sex. Now it wants to focus on
pleasure.
The 2024 Paris Olympic Games is about to take place, when Paris will
become the center of world sports. It is expected that over 300,000 on-site spectators
and a billion TV viewers will watch the opening ceremony. During the 17-day
event, the whole world will pay attention not only to the games and athletes
but also to messages exposed by the organizers and sponsors. One of the key
messages that have been prepared is “Peasure takes first place when it comes to
sex” as part of the comprehensive sexual health campaign. Pleasure-inclusive
messaging has been promoted in the Olympic Games ever since the 1988 Seoul Games,
which handed out condoms to athletes to raise awareness of IV and AIDS. At the
2016 Rio Olympics, as many as 42 condoms per athlete were provided. This time,
over 200,000 male condoms, 20,000 female condoms, and 10,000 dental dams are
made available at the Olympic Village, which will be used by about 14,500
athletes, which seems to be more than enough for athletes’ extra-athletic
activities. What memorable souvenirs for the Olympic athletes!
Read the article and learn about how the Olympic Games could help
promote sex education.
