Another round of Olympic sex stories:

ESPN.com's Page 2 columnist Jeff Merron has a interesting article that runs down some interesting sex connections in the Olympics of years past. Be sure to read the bit about the Polish competitor who was sexually ambiguous.

My current literary idol Hunter S. Thompson is a featured columnist on Page 2 as well. In a recent column he briefly mentions some Olympic sex dirt courtesy of Matt Moseley. Then he goes on with a customary diatribe about the current state of the NFL.

Prostitution in Athens has been covered from different angles at this games, but this article by TVNZ is the first to approach it from sex workers' point of view.

A story by the Taipei Times incorporates several themes from other stories, such as the Cubans being the top condom consumers at Athens, but with a few more quotes from Olympians.
