If there wasn't so many prophylactics in the Olympic Village they would be making a new diverse race of super-humans!

I'm glad they provide them every year though. Lots of young, fit, attractive people means lots of fucking.

I would be curious to know how many pregnancies result from the Olympics every time anyway though. At least some of the people won't use protection most likely.

I'm pretty sure that gojira performance in the opening ceremony kicked off about half of them this year.

I can't think of many other times I've felt that proud as a metal-head. Holy shit that entire thing rocked. (Can we start killing the king though? It's always her.) Red-streamers as an arch of blood was, well, fuckin' metal, not to mention the regicide.

Holy shit, what?!

I snored through all I saw but goji4a had a segment? Aarrr!

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I ran down a link and added it

Seen it in progmetal, too. Good 'show'

Was it part of the ceremony? I was under the impression that he just kind of set up nearby.

I'd guess not a lot.

Generally they're a set of people used to controlling every aspect of their body and its performance, and they're on the wrong side of a four year window if they want to go to the games again. I don't doubt they're getting it on, but I'd bet they're also more proactive about birth control.

Yeah I would guess the vast majority of women competing are on birth control. No way would I let something as stupid as an ill timed period and all the hormonal crazy that comes with it potentially affect my performance at an event I'd been training 4 years for.
