Japanese people not having sex
    #19203528 - 11/29/13 03:42 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Why are Japanese people not fucking?

The number of single people has reached a record high. A survey in 2011 found that 61% of unmarried men and 49% of women aged 18-34 were not in any kind of romantic relationship, a rise of almost 10% from five years earlier. Another study found that a third of people under 30 had never dated at all. (There are no figures for same-sex relationships.) Although there has long been a pragmatic separation of love and sex in Japan – a country mostly free of religious morals – sex fares no better. A survey earlier this year by the Japan Family Planning Association (JFPA) found that 45% of women aged 16-24 "were not interested in or despised sexual contact". More than a quarter of men felt the same way.

Another perspective on the fact that Japanese people are not having sex: http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_world_/2013/10/23/are_japanese_people_really_having_less_sex_than_anyone_else.html

I highly doubt that a nation that capitalizes off attractions such as "love/sex hotels" is really not having sex.

I suspect it's due to all the smartphones and computers and technology getting in the way. The same trend could be happening around the world. I was at a coffee shop enjoying my beverage and looked over to the table beside me. Two young japanese people were having a date like normal. However, what was slightly off putting was that no conversation was happening. They were both glued to their smartphones and were not interested in conversation and getting to know each other.

This is not to say this doesn't happen among all social classes, cultures, races around the world. I do believe that Japan has a leg up in the technology world which probably means North America will follow their lead.

When I was like 17 some university called me randomly wanting to take a survey on drug use among high school teenagers in the United States.

I suspected that my high school hired somebody to call us and find out whether we were using drugs, so I lied on the survey and said I didn't use any. :lol:

And before people call me paranoid, my high school actually baited us once in a similar way... they had all the students in an assembly write down on a piece of paper what drugs we had ever used, because they were participating in an "anonymous survey." When we turned in the papers, we found out that they were color-coded and numbered on the back so they could figure out which students had written on which paper. All the students that (stupidly) wrote down that they had done drugs were called in to the principal's later that day.

My school did the same kind survey and we all wrote that we were raging heroin addicts and meth heads. :lol:

Nobody got in trouble, but I live in Canada so it's different.

The men are not having sex because they're falling in love and marrying characters out video games and cartoons so the women are all lesbians.

I can't tell if that's a joke or not? Are the men there really obsessed with that cartoon porn?

Lesbians are fine though. They seem to be harder to find here than gay people. Maybe that's because they don't stand out as much, or perhaps more guys are inclined to have sex with the same gender then women are.

I was actually watching a few videos about this a couple of weeks ago.
It basically comes down to women in Japan wanting independence. Apparently in Japan the women are still treated far from equal in the workplace.

Because of this it is nearly impossible to be a mother and hold a decent job. So many women choose a career over a family.( as well as any sort of sexual relationship apparently)

Which is really to bad. I think it said they have the fastest declining population. Their government is gonna have to give people incentives to settle down or something.

Maybe Fukushima is contributing to some of this. Exposure to nuclear waste could potentially affect the human brain in ways we could never predict.

Therefore...Fukushima.

The fact that a nation harbors facilities to suit very specific sexual needs doesn't mean that everyone is engaged in that sort of behavior.

To some extent, probably. I read about a similar survey in The Netherlands that showed that the percentage of sexually active people in the age bracket of 19-45 (IIRC) had dropped sharply in the past decade. Technology was mentioned as a contributing factor, but it would be interesting to get to the bottom of that mechanism. I mean, the reverse could be argued as well; with all the OKCupids, Grinders and Tinders about, it would make just as much sense if sexual activity had skyrocketed in the same period.

She would be worth it to wear a stupid costume and make a fool of myself in front of the whole world in order to marry her.

When I was 17, a lady was going door to door at randomly selected houses with high school students in my area or something along those lines and my house was one of the houses chosen. The weird thing was that they were paying like 20 or 30 dollars to participate. Naturally I was suspicious.

But instead of lying & saying I'd done no drugs, I wrote every random obscure and/or hard drug I'd ever heard of at that time in my young life, like 10% of which I'd actually done. Listed Bromo-dragonfly, DOM, heroin, PCP, 2C-B, phenobarbital, quaaludes  etc. But I said that I had never smoked cannabis before for some reason.

Not really sure of my intentions lol, just to seem unbelievable I guess. Got paid 20 dollars and never heard anything else about it again.
Yeah, it was weird.
