    Fun fact: There was an intimacy ban at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic games to prevent the spread of Covid.

    Luckily , that ban was lifted for the Paris Olympics, and CBS News reports 300,000 condoms were made for the 14,250 athletes competing.

    Runners World did the math , and that means each athlete could theoretically get 21 condoms each.

    That's a whole lot of bumpin' uglies!

    Anyway, these aren't just any run-of-the-mill-rubbers, they are themed.

    Here's what they look like:

    The condoms feature that weird (but cute) red blob mascot named Phryge.

    There's a series of them.

    There's the "On the field of love, play fair" condom:

    Another "Ask for consent" condom:

    And lastly, my personal favorite, the "No need to be a gold medalist to wear it!" condom:

    If they're smart, athletes will grab handfuls of them because I'm sure they could sell them for $$$ one day.

    This isn’t new news . They’ve done this for years during the Olympics. They reported years ago that in the Olympic village that there bowls everywhere full of condoms.
