Shocking! Young Japanese Men Hate Sex and Refuse to Fall in Love

Hey guys, I saw this story the
other day on BBC, and I
became astonished how we
live in a very different world
over here in Naija. Can you
imagine that while our young
men are on the street
protesting over the removal of
fuel subsidy, the Japanese
Government is paying young
men to fall in Love, have sex
and have babies. As you may
guess, the young men refused
. Japan's population is
getting smaller so to try to
boost the birth rate, payments
have been introduced for
parents and steps have been
made to improve access to
child care.
But a government survey has
revealed a big problem: over a
third of young men and more
young women have no interest
in sex. The government-
commissioned study finds that
young Japanese men are losing
their interest in sex, yet another
warning sign in a nation
notorious for its low birth rate.
According to the AFP, a
whopping 36.1 percent of
teenage boys between the ages
of 16-19 said they had little to
no interest in sex, and in some
cases even despised it, more
than twice the 2008 figure of
17.5 percent. Futhermore, the
survey, conducted in September
2010, reportedly found that
83.7 percent of Japanese men
who turned 20 this year were
not dating anyone, while 49.3
percent said they had never had
a girlfriend. Girls, it seems, are
suffering from a similar lack of
heat: 59 percent in the same
age group felt the same way, up
12 percentage points from
2008.
Kunio Kitamura, head of the
clinic of the Japan Family
Planning Association which took
part in the survey, said the data
confirms a wider social belief
that younger Japanese men are
becoming "herbivorous," a label
attached to passive men who do
not actively seek women and
sex. Many younger people were
opting to delay starting a family
due to the perceived burden on
their finances, lifestyles and
careers. "The findings seem to
reflect the increasing
shallowness of human relations
in today's busy society."
Kitamura is quoted by CNN as
saying.
The study, which reportedly
surveyed 1,301 people aged 16
to 49, yielded a handful of other
surprises: 40.8 percent of
married people said they had
not had sex in the past month,
up from 36.5 percent in the
2008 survey and 31.9 percent in
the 2004 survey, while nearly 50
percent of married people older
than 40 years old said they have
not had sex in the past month.
Some participants claimed work
fatigue and reluctance to have
sex after childbirth, while others
said they "can't be bothered."
"Obviously, the most important
reason for Japan's declining
birth rate is that
people are not
having sex," Kitamura told the
Telegraph. "Combined with the
rising number of elderly people,
this population imbalance is a
major problem."
