Japan's under-40s appear to be losing interest in conventional relationships. Millions aren't even dating, and increasing numbers can't be bothered with sex. For their government, "celibacy syndrome" is part of a looming national catastrophe. Japan already has one of the world's lowest birth rates. Its population of 126 million, which has been shrinking for the past decade, is projected to plunge a further one-third by 2060. Aoyama believes the country is experiencing "a flight from human intimacy"

Uber-safe sex?
More adult diapers are sold in Japan than infant diapers....really.
I’d say it was all of the tofu and all other soybean-based foods since soy has tons of estrogen in it.
Hey, we gots a bunch of extra feral “yoots” over here - just thinking.
Why? I’ll tell you why:
1. Really, really, really good sex toys - all (even MORE of) the pleasure, with none of the hassles.
2. A culturally and genetically inbred national screw loose, that’s been blatantly evident in various manifestations as far back as history traces.
Back off, Venturer, I got this.
Could also be since Japan lost a heck of a lot of their male population during WWII, as we’ve seen in Europe, that leaves a devastating effect for generations.
It sounds like either domestic Japanese men don’t have a clue how to pleasure a woman...
...or the Japanese made their toys a bit TOO good.
Jokes aside, it also sounds perhaps like ANOTHER government has demonized the Family through similar policies undertaken here in the west. (yes, I avoided the term ‘nuclear’)
Maybe if governments would butt out of people’s private lives these things would sort themselves out.
It seems that in every country the government is either trying to encourage or discourage people from having sex and/or reproducing.
China says don’t do it.
Japan says do it.
U.S. says do it, but only if you’re on welfare and vote democrat.
Tentacle porn. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Bingo. That, and the little Japanese penises.
The Japanese government might relax their immigration laws in order to change this problem.
Not really.
Their elitism and racism will keep them from doing that. No one can be Japanese like the Japanese!
We can talk about this in the mainstream media because they’re not white, but this goes on a bit in the western countries too, probably for the same reasons, among them children taught to apologize for their existence.
Too much shrinkage???
>>”Is Japan providing a glimpse of all our futures? Many of the shifts there are occurring in other advanced nations, too. Across urban Asia, Europe and America, people are marrying later or not at all, birth rates are falling, single-occupant households are on the rise and, in countries where economic recession is worst, young people are living at home.” <<
America tomorrow?
With most of the arable and buildable land in Japan already in use, maybe that’s not such a bad thing, except for the aged who used to be taken care of by family in their later years.
You mean there is a correlation between having sex and having babies?
Could it be because they all LOOK like their Father and Brothers? That could really be a downer. LOL
Fixed it.
