Hearts pounding, muscles throbbing, heavy breathing. On your own, with a partner, maybe 12, on ice, in a boat. Sounds like sex - well not quite. It's sports. And people do it in almost every park, arena, field and gym at every hour of the day. Laura Robinson knows these feelings well. A national athlete, writer and sports journalist she looks at many heaving bodies across many different sports, and she's the first to admit that sexual attraction between athletes is as common as a warm-up stretch. It's all animal instincts, and athletes have unique affairs with sex. Meet some Olympians who talk about the six packs, the skin suits and the heat of competition. But intense training and extended conditioning might be wreaking havoc on an athlete's sexual health - so what's the cost? Researchers like Mary Jane De Souza are only beginning to find out. 'Sports' is the biggest and most popular form of modern entertainment in North America, but sex and sex issues riddle the lives of our most successful athletes. This program is recommended for an audience aged 17 and up. May contain information that is considered offensive to some viewers.
