Priority!: Tokyo Olympic Organisers Install 'Anti-Sex' Beds To Avoid Intimacy Among Athletes Amid Covid Pandemic
The beds are expected to break with any sudden movements, but the good part, they are recyclable. So it will be clear who has been obeying the rules and who hasn't.
This year's Olympics will be unique for reasons known. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the organisers to make big calls - with the banning of fans being noteworthy among them.
There have been concerns over how Tokyo Olympics can be made as Covid-safe as possible. In an effort to ensure that athletes are focused on their disciplines and socially distanced, organisers have created so-called 'anti-sex' beds.
According to various reports, due to the ongoing pandemic, athletes will be discouraged from engaging in any unnecessary social mixing or close interaction, including sexual intercourse.
The ¡°anti-sex¡± beds are reportedly made from cardboard and they are designed to only be able to withstand the weight of one person.

Beds will be able to withstand the weight of a single person to avoid situations beyond sports.

The beds are expected to break with any sudden movements, but the good part, they are recyclable. So it will be clear who has been obeying the rules and who hasn't.
Taking that into consideration, athletes have also been told not to use the customary condoms they have been given ahead of the start of the games this week. Instead, the organisers have asked athletes to take those condoms home as Olympic game souvenirs.
It was recently announced that no spectators would be allowed at the games as coronavirus cases continue to surge in Japan.
Japan has declared a state of emergency which is expected to last until the 22nd of August.
The Games are slated to start on July 23.
