Finally, the Olympics have a stated goal of using the Games to educate the youth of the world. In fact, it often promotes Olympic athletes as role models for children to emulate. If this is the case, shouldn’t the Olympics be encouraging the athletes to be good examples both on and off the field of play in all areas of their lives? If so, then isn’t promoting a hedonistic and predatory perspective about sex in the Olympic Village incongruent with the IOC’s credo and clearly not in the best interest of the world’s children?

The bottom line is that when you promote a “condom count” like it’s an Olympic medal count, it matters. Moreover, when you encourage folks to view sexual partners as just steps on the medal ceremony podium, there are bound to be people who get used and abused. Indeed, sex becomes a competitive bloodsport. In my view, this type of “sport” does not and should not embody the Olympic spirit.
