More than forty per cent of young singletons in Japan are virgins, according to a new study that highlights concerns about the country's demographic challenges. Japan already suffers from the world's oldest population and a shrinking birthrate, with the government struggling to incentivise marriage and parenthood.
Now a survey of unmarried people aged 18 to 34 found that around 42 per cent of men and 44.2 per cent of single women had never had sex.
The study is carried out by Japan's National Institute of Population and Social Security every five years.
The country's government has worked hard to booth the birthrate in recent years, providing incentives such as support for child care and tax breaks.
The new data however indicates, that, if anything Japanese men and women are growing apart.
Nearly 90 per cent of the respondents said they want to get married sometime in the future.
But 30 per cent of the 2,706 men sampled and 26 per cent of the 2,570 female respondents said they were not currently looking for a relationship.
They want to tie the knot eventually. But they tend to put it off as they have gaps between their ideals and the reality, Futoshi Ishii, head researcher for the study, told Japan Times. Thats why people marry later or stay single for life, contributing to the nations low birthrate.
The lack of sexual activity can seem at odds with a society saturated with sexual images, from television and manga comics to city billboards.
But recent years have seen a shift in traditional family structures, and a protracted economic slowdown as a global powerhouse, which has reportedly resulted in many men struggling to hold down secure, full-time jobs.

Nonmarital virginity + the collapse of an overall marriage culture, may have a different significance. It could be the failure of a nation to do the basic, existential thing that nations HAVE to do: provide for a next generation.
I thought it might be because samaurai are more concerned with their young boy sex objects.
Wait, what..?
Hey in India and Pakistan sometimes if the dowry isn’t big enough the in-marrying bride suffers a “most unfortunate cooking oil fire” and is disfigured or, more rarely, is killed.
And it was common for the death of wealthy men to occasion the INCINERATION of their surviving wives.
Both of the above never happen in Japan.
The feminist observers of Japan are taking you for a ride.
Before I lived in Japan without even knowing it I was HIGHLY saddled with feminist-derived culture blinders:
“All Japanese women hunger for me, they’re all damsels in distress and I will be there to set them free...!”
A LOT of dudes who go there are handicapped with that and mostly it’s an illusion.
Japan is so very overly crowded with too many people and so very little elbow room that it just does not make sense to keep populating. After the population declines by 50% the young people will be more comfortable with starting families. There will be more room for the children to play.
EXCELLENT. She is destined to succeed, thanks to a mother who wanted a beat-free life. GREAT MOM!
Hm?
Uh huh. OK.
The problem with burning/killing new wife is that the family of wife burner now has an ETERNAL familial FEUD with wife's family. NOT good for the village, town, city and extended family.
The Japanese women BURN for you because Japanese men BEAT their wives. GOOGLE it; it's common knowledge. Indian men don't beat their wives.
Hate to give you the news but ANY husband would be better than a Japanese-wife-beating husband. You aren't THAT special because you aren't a wife beater.
Set them free? Hahahaha.
I've heard that Japanese women fart VERY well, so maybe you and she would be a great pair. WHERE are my nose clips? They're about to do a DOUBLE-TROUBLE stinkoRAMA. YIKES!
My anthro-linguistics prof spent a lot of time in Japan. She said it was disconcerting to be riding on a packed metro train and looking back behind her into the faces of the seated passengers. Japan is so over-populated, they maintain a personal-space shield to keep their privacy in public.
She said the disconcerting thing was that all their faces were blank, expressionless, and stayed that way. Japanese age very well, she said, because their faces don’t get nearly as wrinkled as ours because of the all expressions we produce.
The really, REALLY frightening aspect of Japan:
How few MARRIED couples “do it”. Like once monthly or way more common, LESS.
It’s either a complete crisis or it’s the most organized, widespread lying in the whole world.
My and the wife? RABBITS.
But based on EVERYTHING my wife hears from her married friends, sometimes I think we’re the only ones DOING IT.
I STILL often tell myself it’s BS and they MUST be like us.
Demographic problem? Call Merkel and the DNC for advice
As you might imagine, Japan is taking in almost zero ‘refugees.’ They don’t want their culture Balkanized, as Muslims don’t integrate.
If you’ve never undressed a young Japanese maiden in a Kimono, you don’t know what you’re missing. It’s like unwrapping a Christmas present, but with a screen name of “gaijin” (foreigner), I’ll bet you know what I mean.
That's good, because I don't think Japanese women care for the Congolese Brad Pitt.
Maybe that's the problem.
Reminds me of when Mrs. Chandler and I watched Westworld and she commented on the hooker robots, "I would't want to be the person who has to clean those machines."
How incredibly well I know what you mean, sir...!
^_^
A double PhD in that study..!
The author thinks the problem is that Japanese women aren’t sluts.
