"Why Have Young People In Japan Stopped Having Sex?"

Japan's under-40s appear to be losing interest in conventional relationships. Millions aren't even dating, and increasing numbers can't be bothered with sex. For their government, "celibacy syndrome" is part of a looming national catastrophe. Japan already has one of the world's lowest birth rates. As The Guardian reports, 45% of Japanese women aged 16-24 are "not interested in or despise sexual contact". More than a quarter of men feel the same way. Is Japan providing a glimpse of all our futures? Many of the shifts there are occurring in other advanced nations, too. Across urban Asia, Europe and America, people are marrying later or not at all, birth rates are falling, single-occupant households are on the rise and, in countries where economic recession is worst, young people are living at home...

This is nothing new. Japan has been experiencing a negative birth rate and lack of a national sexual libido for years and years. I feel bad for the white boys who think getting a submissive japanese girl is going to work.

Shouting Thomas said...

"Submissive" is the wrong term for what white boys are looking for, and Japanese is the wrong nationality for those looking.

What is called "submissive" in the U.S. is just an old fashioned, ordinary woman who has no complaint about being female, isn't a horrific spoiled brat, wants children, and puts her husband first. This is not submissive. It's "sane."

Japanese women haven't fit this category for decades. Filipinos, Thais, Cambodians, or any South Pacific Islander group is a better place to look. These women are likely to be well educated, religious, family oriented, capable of cooking and caring for a household and happy with being female. Among the Filipinas, especially, you are likely to find an RN capable of making a good living, too.

Hell. I could get that number over 75% all by myself and it wouldn't even take me that long.

It can get messy, especially the way the Japanese do it.

Can't really blame them since their Most Valuable Player went to Boston.

Outsize Hentai expectations meet real world Japanese bra and condom sizes?

My advice to the Japanese women who "despise" sex is to take a page out of the similarly indisposed Victorian English woman's playbook -- stare at the ceiling and think of the Emperor.

Yeah, too many tentacles.

16 seems young to be the starting point for this analysis. It seems that age would include those afraid of the unknown but likely to grow out of it as they mature. And why stop at 24? It feels like cherry-picked data.

Heh

Top had this allready.

The cause of the problem is Japanese men and women all have pixilated genitals.

This is what happens with island countries.

If this was Warhammer 40k, it would be the God Emperor!!!

Too many "Will And Grace" reruns.

Could this be due to the effects of radiation from Godzilla?

No, no. In Japan, he is known as Gojira.

Credit the Japanese with developing several new perversions that were never tried before in humanity's long history of sexual exploration. Bukkake was an innovative new program, but the downside is that any young woman who actually chances to view it, much less experience it, is inclined to swear off sex altogether. If the Japanese wish to attract the female demographic, they've got to give up on bukkake. Also, ban the sale of Hitachi wands.
