Thank you, Olympic Condom Guy.

As reported by Distractify and other news sites, officials will be handing out half a million condoms to athletes at the Olympics this summer, which averages out to over 40 condoms per athlete.  I get it-- all of these people are young, fit, full of stamina, and they're on a big trip away from home, so excitement levels are high. Things happen.  And while it may not be the first time officials have done this-- the first time was in 1988, when they handed out 8,500 condoms-- it is the first time condoms are being given directly to women. Hooray to Olympic officials for finally realizing that women can annihilate an 800 meter freestyle world record, and also initiate sex. Wow!

Zika has been classified as a new STI directly linked to birth defects, so the increase in condom distribution isn't a total shock. Regardless, the efforts should not be overlooked. In conjunction with Olympic officials, people also have this fellow to thank:

Thank you, Eric. Olympians, go forth and sex safely.
