The matches will last 45 to 60 minutes, Says Official

While sex is a hushed-up topic in many countries, Sweden has taken the first step to remove the stigma around sex by declaring it a sport. The first tournament will be held on June 8.

The competition tagged European Sex Championship, is scheduled to take place on June 8 under the supervision of the Swedish Sex Federation.

The matches will reportedly last 45 to 60 minutes for several weeks.

The competitors will be from different European countries and will face off in 16 different disciplines to show their talents. The areas where they will be judged are seduction, body massages, exploring erotic zones, prelude, oral sex, penetration, endurance, physical appearance, pose execution, creativity in position changes and the number of orgasms within a given time. They will also be judged on artistic performance and pose transitions, and the capacity to raise blood pressure and heart rate during the competition.

Additional categories consist of the most exquisite and complicated position, the most creative communication as determined by a panel and spectators, the pair who exhibits the most activity, artistry in the Kamasutra, and popularity among the judges and viewers.

The president of the Swedish Federation of Sex, Dragan Bratych, remarked that he hoped that sex will eventually be acknowledged as a sport. He said, “Just like any other sport, I hope sex will be accepted as a sport all over the world”
