Sweden made a ground-breaking declaration recognizing sex as a sport and announcing the “European Sex Championship.”

This unusual contest will test competitors’ physical stamina while celebrating the art of connection through up to six-hour long sex sessions. The competition, which will begin on June 8 and last for six weeks, will draw competitors from all over Europe and test their stamina, knowledge, and chemistry.

While critics may question the merging of sports and intimate experiences, proponents argue that embracing sex as a sport fosters a healthy dialogue on sexuality, consent, and sexual well-being. Sweden’s bold declaration challenges societal norms and encourages broader discussions on pleasure and personal connections.

The announcement triggered varied reactions on social media, with some praising the decision as progressive and promoting discussion, while others humorously speculated about sex becoming an Olympic sport.
