"Haven't had any since Showa 50."

[Taro Toporific]

A quick survey in my office: 13 of 20 women haven't had sex this month. Best quote from my 57 year old layout 'girl': "Haven't had any since Showa 50."

No sex please, we're family
Sexlessness is a problem that has plagued enormous numbers of young Japanese couples over the past decade or so. Plenty of factors contribute to making for a listless libido and Spa! (3/11) has delved into them.

That's most any big company office in Japan, as far as I can tell.

Maybe on the FG Forum, we are talking about them.

"Well, the Sage Grouse...
During the breeding season, males and females don't form pairs and males don't defend territories, but rather the males get together and congregate at display sites and the females come and visit males and presumably choose who they want to mate with, and then go off and perform all nesting duties by themselves without any assistance from the males."

So the male Sage Grouse will continue to hang out together, popping away, as long as the females keep coming by.

Taro,
You have an amazing propensity for finding out things about birds (and everything else).

Taro needs to go on Jeopardy.

He is definitely the Link King.

Taro needs to go on Jeopardy.

Nope. Jeopardy is not for me (I know nothing about sports).
It's my cousin Lino that won $10,000 on Jeopardy. However, when Jeopardy's on TV at my neighborhood bar back home in Chicago, cousin Lino and I have suckered few drunks into betting against us, " being able to answer the next ten questions correctly."

any storys of sexually healty couples or anything? this one kinda depresses me..lol

[Andocrates]

It only depresses you because you think with a Western ideal. If they are happy not having sex who cares? I have sex with my wife about once per week (believe me even that hour is hard to get) the other 167 hours I get to live with a women I love and raise my kids, eat at the table with my family, take the kids to the store etc, etc. All the things having a wife and family is supposed to provide. Of course I do get boob breaks and ass squeezes as needed.

The problem is when the couples continue to have sex, but not with each other - that's not healthy for a number of reasons.

But also, this board is not a good place to get inside the mind of the Japanese, since pretty much everyone here is jaded. Plus Mainichi waiwai (where most of this crap comes from) is on par with National Enquirer it's designed to titalate, I quit reading that a long time ago because it makes the Japanese look like a bunch of perverted freaks.

One of the reasons Japanese have such a screwed up idea of America is because they think we are just like the Movies, which we are not. So, don't think Japan is like Mainichi WaiWai because it's not.

Ow! That really hurt first thing on a Saturday morning after a long night.
I guess there're a lot of FG like Andocrates who feel the same. I'm sorry about that.
Andocrates is correct in that WaiWai aims to tittilate. It also aims to shock. WaiWai is the most popular part of the Mainichi site and we're in business, so it pretty much needs to stay that way. It's a fact that every time we run a story that doesn't either tittilate or shock then nobody reads it. And if nobody reads the stories, it's usually my fat arse that gets kicked.

One of the reasons Japanese have such a screwed up idea of America is because they think we are just like the Movies, which we are not. So, don't think Japan is like Mainichi WaiWai because it's not.

Of course, everybody is free to read WaiWai or not, but don't forget that WaiWai stories are translations of articles that Japanese are writing about Japanese.
