"No sex please --- we're Japanese."

About frequency, yes, but how many would say that banging hookers constitutes a satisfying sex life? I'm sure it could be great a few times. I mean shit, what's the downside of banging a 19 year old? Not much, but there's going to be a lack of intimacy, and there's no way I'd hit any of that w/o a condom on, and that truly is the goal.

well... 19 year olds are boring in bed... ya they're tight (in some cases), they're young... blah...

now get a horny house wife on you and she'll give you a fuggin ride. not to mention everything on her husband's expense... cant beat that.

condoms... who needs condoms?

Unfortunately very true. Unless they're really slutty, the first several times with 18 and 19yo's are "painful" in more than one way.

Japan Population Decline: Third Of Nation's Youth Have 'No Interest' In Sex

01/30/2012

A startling number of Japanese youths have turned their backs on sex and relationships, a new survey has found.

The survey, conducted by the Japan Family Planning Association, found that 36% of males aged 16 to 19 said that they had 'no interest' in or even 'despised' sex. That's almost a 19% increase since the survey was last conducted in 2008.

If that's not bad enough, The Wall Street Journal reports that a whopping 59% of female respondents aged 16 to 19 said they were uninterested in or averse to sex, a near 12% increase since 2008.

Since when is the Wall Street Journal investigating that kind of things?!?

[Coligny]

Since most of their staff would rather kill themselves or report on 1001 recipe to prepare a roadkill rather than continue the daily gloom and doom that will lead to the end of kapitalism...

Actually, those numbers seem about right on the females...the males, Greji would have to chime in but do we really mind the lack of competition?

Am guessing the Tsunami victims and the correct classification of the old (dead) folks being kept in the closet for the pension funds were both huge factors in these results.

Tsunami victims were expected but you bring up a good point, all those ghosts still receiving pension $$ I wonder if they're actually cracking down on it though? Seen some crazy tax investigations lately, dead old people pension fraud would seem to be one of the biggest leaks with an easy fix.


[oh wait... http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/national/T120226003718.htm ]

[GomiGirl]

I expect that a big chunk of the work in the Ku/Shiyakushous these days are actually confirming that the pension recipients are still breathing.

The numbers of frauds are staggering. I am sure missing persons not receiving pensions are next for checking. Cold cases that have just been filed in the "too hard" basket as well. I doubt that the census figures are accurate.

As another measure to prevent excessive pension payments, the health ministry is considering asking pensioners aged up to 74, who are not covered by the medical insurance system for latter-stage elderly, to regularly file a report to confirm they are alive.

Population clock shows Japan faces extinction in 1000 years

AFP VIA The Age - May 13, 2012 - 1:48PM

Japanese researchers have unveiled a population clock that shows the nation's people could theoretically become extinct in 1000 years because of declining birth rates.
Academics in the northern city of Sendai said that Japan's population of children aged up to 14, which now stands at 16.6 million, is shrinking at the rate of one every 100 seconds.

Even the ones that do get horny appear to be mistaking it for PMS...

[matsuki]

Considering the amount of sexual assaults that go on here, that's no surprise. One of my good friends got all scared and married her abusive EX bf after being raped. 4 years later she's complaining that there is no romance in the relationship, guy treats her like a maid while he's out banging the local sluts, and she just now realizes she made a bad decision during a traumatic time...but with a daughter now in the picture, she's lacks the confidence to do divorce. (and joins the other unhappy, sexless, married masses in this cuntry that worry more about what their family looks like on paper than the actual welfare of the individuals) Not to mention all the lemurs I meet that "prefer" feminine men are all ones that have had traumatic experiences with men and think manly men are "scary." The result? TIJ

I would never expect you to be feminine dude... but if it gets you laid, keep doing it!

Nine out of ten lemurs prefer the feminine Choko... could be a new sales slogan?

Hmmmm, well I let the barber clean up my eyebrows, I guess that's sort of feminine? (though I don't have quite the same contrast as J-d00ds have with shaved eyebrows, feathered/bleached hair, and a snaggle tooth smile that will haunt your nightmares for years.

Sexless marriages on the increase

More than 40 percent of married couples in Japan say they have sex less than once a month, with the figure rising in surveys since 2004, a doctor at a clinic belonging to the Japan Family Planning Association said.

The ratio stood at 41.3 percent in the survey of 1,306 people aged between 16 and 49 conducted in September. The figure was around 32 percent in 2004 and topped 40 percent in 2010, Kunio Kitamura, the doctor, said Thursday.

Among men, 28.2 percent said they were not interested in sex because they were "tired from work," the survey said. Among women, the largest segment, at 23.5 percent, said they find sex "troublesome."
