Olympic planners have provided condoms to Olympic athletes ever since the 1992 games in Barcelona. With over 10,000 athletes expected to be out partying and having sex during the Olympic Games in Beijing this week, the event organizers in Beijing decided to opt for overkill, with 100,000 units being distributed so as not to run out as they did in 1996 and 2000.

Actually, it turns out that all those talks from your fifth grade health teacher praising the values and health benefits of abstinence are simply not true, a recent study from Queens University in Belfast argues.

Men who undergo vasectomy procedures in hopes of attaining a life free from the need for birth control are advised to submit themselves to 6 and 12 month checkups with their doctors to assure that no sperm is making its way into their ejaculate.
