A former Olympic table tennis player for Britain is dishing the dirt on the bacchanalian atmosphere inside the Olympic village, and he says it’s as much of a drunken sex fest as you might imagine. The young virile athletes let loose when they’re done competing, and with all those hormones raging from intense training there’s plenty of wanton coupling. The swimmers are the worst, he says, because they’re done at the beginning of the games and have the rest of the time to f’ck around:
But let us get back to all the sex going down in the village. One possible explanation centres on the fact that Olympic athletes have to display an unnatural (and, it has to be said, wholly unhealthy) level of self-discipline in the build-up to big competitions. How else is this going to manifest itself than with a volcanic release of pent-up hedonism? It is a common sight to see recently knocked-out athletes gorging on Magnums and McDonald’s, swilling alcohol and, of course, shagging like crazy. Sometimes all three at the same time. Yet this can be only a part of the explanation because most of the athletes I know are as up for it before and during competition as they are in the immediate aftermath. It is as if sportsmen and women have a higher base level of sexual energy. But why? Can it be that one of the underlying drivers of sporting greatness is also the very thing that produces an overactive sex drive?
If so, you can bet your Olympic accreditation that testosterone is implicated. Testosterone is the hormone responsible for many of the differences between the sexes and is also a key physiological driver of aggression, competitiveness and virility. This is particularly so with regard to women. The dual effect of testosterone on female sporting performance and sexuality was demonstrated – somewhat sinisterly – during the state-sponsored doping programme in East Germany. An average teenage girl produces around half a milligram of testosterone per day. In the mid-1980s German female athletes were doped with around 30 milligrams of androgenic steroids per day. The effect on sporting performance was breathtaking – East German women dominated the world in swimming and athletics – but it also produced libidos (according to the testimony of the athletes themselves) that spiraled out of control.
This is not to say that the athletes in the village are all on steroids, or that elevated levels of testosterone inevitably lead to lots of sex. It is merely to say that, at a population level, higher naturally occurring levels of testosterone in both genders would provide a powerful explanation for the combination of sporting prowess and sexual potency.

It sounds like college, except you had to pace yourself because you had a full four years. Sex for two weeks at The Olympics must be like a sprinting event – get it while you can.
Author Matthew Syed says that the gold-winning male Olympians are poised to get more tail – think Michael Phelps – but that it doesn’t work that way for the triumphant female athletes.
The chaps who win gold medals – even those as geeky as Michael Phelps – are the principal objects of desire for many female athletes. There is something about sporting success that makes a certain type of woman go crazy – smiling, flirting and sometimes even grabbing at the chaps who have done the business in the pool or on the track. An Olympic gold medal is not merely a route to fame and fortune; it is also a surefire ticket to writhe. But – and this is the thing – success does not work both ways. Gold-medal winning female athletes are not looked upon by male athletes with any more desire than those who flunked out in the first round. It is sometimes even considered a defect, as if there is something downright unfeminine about all that striving, fist pumping and incontinent sweating.

Michael Phelps may technically be geeky, but he’s also super rich and world famous now, and that makes him more attractive. He is slated to earn around $100 million in endorsement deals in his lifetime and just received a $1 million advance for his biography, Built to Succeed, which is due out this December. It’s sure to be a best seller, especially if he includes any of the sexy details from the Olympic Village in there.

I don’t think I’d use “geeky” to describe Michael Phelps. I don’t know too many geeks with abs like that! I guess this explains the spit-swappage between Phelps and Stephanie Rice. I can only imagine what went down after that party,

Bless their lusty hearts! My only complaint is with the double standard. Maybe a woman’s gold medal doesn’t make her sexy within the limited realm of Olympic Village, but out of all the men in the world *surely* there are a bunch who will respect it.

Damn, Kerri Walsh has a nice ass, doesn’t she? I love her.
The hotties I would try to hit it with (if I was an Olympian): Phelps, Alexander Despaite (Quebequois diver), and Phil Dahlhausser (American beach volleyball gold-medal winner).

Oh! And Aaron Piersol, the other hottie American swimmer. His voice is weird, but the body can speak for him. Yum yum yum.

I think anyone who finds this article shocking has never been around sports teams in the US.
Even my university swim team all had sex with each other constantly (after lots of drinking) on the very few breaks they got from heavy practicing.
And as an aside, I know people who swam with Phelps pre-Olympics (he’s been a big thing in the world of swimming much longer than this current media fascination with him) and believe me, the dude had a lot of female swimmers throwing themselves at him back here.

Michael Phelps is a joke. He’s a product of corporate machinery that made him an Olympic medalist via means other than fair sportsmanship.

Bitter much, Angie?
I don’t blame them. If I had all that energy and their bodies, I’d be doing everyone I could reach myself.

Doesn’t seem fair to put the picture of the two vollyball gals. Those women are married. So yes..they had sex..with their husbands most likely. They were on the Today show talk about how badly they want to start having kids. You need to have sex to have babies…duh.

Did any of you see the closing ceremony last night? Loved the X and O in the fireworks.
Leona Lewis was Fan f-ing tastic singing Whole Lotta Love. What a voice she has. I think her rendition was fabulous.
Jimmy Page, my god I love him, can still play, but he is looking a bit aged.

As top level athletes, their bodies process everything super-effectively. I mean, ever have a beer after a solid workout at the gym? Best buzz you can get, hands down.
No doubt that a snort of alcohol combined with such high levels of neurotransmitters (they are competitors at the world’s biggest competition, after all) and inhibitions go flying out the window faster than spandex.

I love Yelena, the pole vaulting gold medalist in the last picture! What a fantasic body she has, and she is so pretty too. Anyone heard any juicy tidbits about her…she is such a diva (and I mean that in a good way). On one of her “shorts” where they profiled her before her competition, she was running around Monte Carlo in designer gowns!

To say that Phelps is more attractive b.c hes super rich and world famous is quite shallow. That doesn’t make him more attractive at all. Something like a good personality can make someone more attractive but fame and wealth shouldn’t.
