If you lived in San Francisco’s Mission District in 1977, you might have stumbled upon a tiny shop, about the size of a large parking space, with potted plants, macramé hangings on the walls, and a display case full of antique vibrators. Just down the street from a women’s cafe and a feminist bookstore that were part of the burgeoning women’s district, the store, at the time, was gaining attention in the local press for its head spinning array of sexual products and the disarmingly charming woman who ran it, sex educator and therapist Joani Blank.
Despite the store’s humble appearance, Good Vibrations would eventually become a standard bearer in an industry with few standards, a clearinghouse for sexual information in a sexually anemic culture, and an inspiration to feminist and queer-identified entrepreneurs everywhere who wanted to follow in Blank’s sex-positive footsteps.
R.I.P. Joani Blank.
There has been one attempt made to try and come up with a solution to the sex in weightlessness problem: A practical but not super-sexy contraption called the 2Suit, which was designed by Vanna Bonta, a writer, and tested inside a zero G simulator for a 2009 History Channel documentary. The suit was designed to velcro two people together inside it, hoping to prevent them from sending each other flying away at every touch in weightlessness, by trapping them together in a kind of space onesie for two:
It looks like a joke, talks like a joke and walks like a joke, but it’s not a joke.
Our source continued, “For the most part, these athletes are protected and careful because the condom stock is endless. They are extra careful this year because of Zika.”
And the thing is, according to our insider, athletes are usually hooking up with other athletes because of the Village’s strict curfew rules.
“Many of the athletes prefer to meet other athletes on Tinder and other dating apps because that’s easier, and then they do group dates with other athlete friends. Many of these women and men have been out of the dating game or never in the dating game before the Olympics, so it’s a lot to take in for these athletes, especially after training so hard to be here.”
And let’s face it, making it to the Olympics is practically the pinnacle of success for athletes around the globe, so they may as well make the most of it!
The Olympics are a good time to buy stokes in condom companies.
