Neutered Japanese men turn to the 'Bridegroom School'

[Taro Toporific]

Bridegroom 101 in Bachelor of Marriage
By The Sydney Morning Herald /' Deborah Cameron, correspondent in Tokyo
August 17, 2004If Japan had a motto of the moment it would be: Baby, where are you? Men can't find wives, women can't find husbands, and whatever sex is going on is not producing the usual result in the birth statistics.
Which is where 34-year-old Kiyoharu Ohashi comes in. His remedial college for bachelors, optimistically dubbed Bridegroom School...
many theories about what has gone wrong with the Japanese family. It could be the poor example of earlier generations, the dominance of work, the increased independence and ambition of women, the absence of child-care facilities, the expectation that wives will look after ageing in-laws, the reluctance of men to accept a share of household and child-rearing responsibilities or the hedonism and plain selfishness of young people.
While public policy makers are inclined to put the responsibility on young women, Mr Ohashi believes that it is men who need to wake up.

Dr. Phil the TV psychologist once said something to the effect of:
Men won't marry when they get lots of sex from several girlfriends.
Women won't marry when they don't need the money.

That's the issue in a nutshell.

Folowing that logic, there's only ONE way to raise the birthrate!
Outlaw promiscuity, prostitution, porn, masturbation, holding hands in public...., and make sure all the women stay impoverished without any chance of finding work. In other words, bring on the Taliban!

As completely un-PC as that is, you'll find the birth rate to be very high in backwards countries, where you have fundamentalist religion on one hand, and restricted rights for women on the other.

Look what happens to the birthrate in countries where the men freely play around, and the women have equal/more than equal rights. All us first-world countries will slowly succumb to aging populations.

Do I like this logic.....?
No......... but........

I think that with these "backward countries" though, you'll also find alot less of other things to do. Minimal TV, sports(except for the occasional decapitation or amputation), internet, game stations, computers, etc. Nothing for the men folk to do but drink with their buddies then go home and screw. And since the women are so repressed, then that means a total lack of the other things you mentioned(porn, prostitution, etc), so they guys don't get any release anywhere else.

Sure it might increase the baby flow, but what child would want to be born into a world as boring as that?
