No sex please...we're Japanese
A quarter of straight men and women under 40 in Japan are still virgins, and the number seems to be rising
More and more young adults in Japan aren’t having sex, according to a study by public health researchers at the University of Tokyo.
In the study, published in the journal BMC Public Health, the team analysed data from seven surveys conducted between 1987 and 2015, each with several thousand participants. They found that the number of women and men aged 18 to 39 years old who had never had heterosexual sex increased from 21.7% and 20% respectively in 1992 to 24.6% and 25.8% in 2015, which is an increase of about 4-5% in 23 years.
A breakdown of the figures revealed that 11.9% of women and 12.7% of men aged 30 to 34 were virgins, as were 8.9% of women and 9.5% of men aged 35 to 39.
According to the results, men were more likely to have had sex if they had a permanent job and lived in big cities of more than a million people. Those with the lowest income were between 10 and 20 times more likely to be virgins.
Women, on the other hand, were less likely to be virgins if they made less money. The researchers said this could be because they are married homemakers.
“Although the discussion around cause and effect becomes very complex when considering who becomes sexually experienced and who remains a virgin, we show that heterosexual inexperience is at least partly a socioeconomic issue for men,” said Cyrus Ghaznavi, one of the authors of the study. “Simply put, money talks.”
Compared to other countries, the rates of people with no heterosexual experience are about 1-5% of people in their 30s in the UK, US, and Australia.
“Sexual inactivity or inexperience, whether voluntary or not, should not be exoticized, ridiculed, or necessarily considered a concern for everyone,” said Peter Ueda, who led the research.
“More research is needed on reasons for sexual inactivity and how mating market dynamics might be evolving due to online dating, shifting expectations in romantic and sexual relationships, and changing values, lifestyles, and labour market trends.”
Japan’s population dropped by 394,373 people in 2017, leading some to refer to the country as a “demographic time bomb.” It has an ageing population, and the current birth rate is 1.44 children per woman, which is far below what the country needs to maintain its population.
Business Insider reporter Valentina Resetarits lived in Japan for a year, and she noticed how the culture seems to “emphasise hard work, and de-emphasise sex and relationships.”
“In addition, there is the strange Japanese relationship to sexuality,” Resetarits wrote. “You would think that people are looking for one-night stands if they don’t want to have a relationship, but many people are too uptight for that.
“When in doubt, they prefer to concentrate on fictional sex objects in manga porn or video games instead of chatting at a bar.”
In fact, last year a man married a hologram of a virtual reality singer called Hatsune Miku. Acting as a virtual assistant, the floating hologram device wakes Akihiko Kondo up, turns on his lights, and talks to him. In return, he keeps stuffed dolls of her in his bed.
“Miku-san is the woman I love a lot and also the one who saved me,” he said.
There is also an increasing population of “parasitic singles” in Japan – people in their 30s who still live with their parents, which is likely another factor in people not pairing up.
The new study didn’t look into same-sex experiences, or those who are not virgins but have become celibate later in life for different reasons.
“The most informative aspect of sexual inactivity involves those who have opted out of or are, for some reason they cannot control, excluded from the mating market, regardless of their previous sexual experience,” Ghaznavi said. “We’d like to investigate those dynamics in future work.”

Re: No sex please...we're Japanese
I have heard about this and it is somewhat bewildering as their culture seems, on the surface hyper sexualized and sexually liberated.
For science, I have researched Japanese porn. Aside from the annoying pixellation of much of it, it is definitely much more creative and just plain 'weird' compared to the rest of the genres.
Is it possible that more and more of the men have just taken things in their own hand, for practical and efficiency reasons?
Also, 'from research', it seems Japanese women make crying noises while having sex. That in itself seems off putting to me.

I don't think that's restricted to just Japanese women, it is very off-putting though. A gag is needed.RickyBobby wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2019 10:06 pm Also, 'from research', it seems Japanese women make crying noises while having sex. That in itself seems off putting to me.

Re: No sex please...we're Japanese
To me, it seems to be learned cultural behavior for their porn genre, it seems to reference being abused or raped, as if they are unwillingly being violated. That seems to be the takeaway to me, whereas normal porn is two willing participants where the opposite extreme is the total super-freak female who dominates the man. Where else do you see this phenomenon?John Bingham wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2019 10:32 pmI don't think that's restricted to just Japanese women, it is very off-putting though.

Re: No sex please...we're Japanese
Little wonder the young Japanese have no time to hook up into a physical relationship when they are literally working themselves to death late at night at the office (so called 'Karoshi'), then the boss invites the staff to dinner and drinks after work and if they're lucky they catch the last train home..

Re: No sex please...we're Japanese
In the distant past I remember a few women in this general region who made similar exaggerated noises.

Re: No sex please...we're Japanese
Mine was at first stone cold silent. I told her it was ok to relax and be expressive, and to make noise/sounds as she felt necessary. Now, she begins before we even start, haha. But its contented 'normal' noise, not whimpering.John Bingham wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2019 11:21 pmIn the distant past I remember a few women in this general region who made similar exaggerated noises.

Re: No sex please...we're Japanese
The problem is beyond that. Japanese tend not to date. I was watching a Netflix documentary on this. Japanese have ideals of how things should be and don’t take rejection or reality too well. Mix in generation of recession on top. Documentary included an interview with tentacle man (creator of tentacle sex) as well.

The guy who did Urotsukidoji? He made it because he wasn't allowed to draw cocks. They've had tentacle sex since the 19th century with an octopus - The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife. 1812.newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 12:15 am The problem is beyond that.

Anyone with any gumption died in the war. Or killed themselves through shame. So now they no longer know how to reproduce. If you watch any of their films or tv you are left with the question of how they reproduce, they appear to be like panda bears, someone is going to have to dress up in a furry suit and wank the man off and then sneak into the woman's room when she's asleep and squirt it up there. Did anyone watch that My Husband Doesn't Fit show? The weird fuckers, and those are university students who should be wall to wall banging. There is no hope for them, they will die off.
