[According to] a Japanese government study: Almost a third of Japanese boys aged 16-20 and three-fifths of girls say that they have no interest in sex.
The hormones of late adolescence evidently rage in vain against some cultural barrier that makes young Japanese "despise" sexual relations, according to the Japan Family Planning Association's report [1].
It turns out that the ultimate victim of sexual revolution is sex itself.
What makes the Japanese hate sex? The same things that make a growing proportion of Americans hate sex. Joan Sewell's 2007 book I'd Rather Eat Chocolate became the manifesto of American women who don't like sex, hailed at the as "the next wild turn in the female sexual revolution" by Sandra Tsing Loh in The Atlantic Monthly [2].
Pharmaceutical companies are racing to market a pill to revive fading female libido, to no avail: women do not want to be sex objects, and a culture that objectifies women will make them hate sex, as I wrote in this space five years ago [3]. But the problem has gotten worse than I imagined it would.

After half a century of sexual revolution - otherwise known as objectification - women suffer en masse from the sexual equivalent of Stockholm Syndrome, identification with their tormentors, as a number of popular commentators observe.

For adolescent girls, the replacement of courtship by "hooking up" with "friends with benefits" is a cruel prospect.
Even though only three out of ten American teenagers aged 13 to 16 are sexually active [7], the options available to adolescent girls are narrowly defined. Adolescent boys are monsters, as anyone who has been one, or known one, can attest...

No no...I’m just a good American doing my part to help those in need. Any real American man would do the same...
It’s who we are as a people.
I agree!
Well,I’m 46 so I’ll take the upper range. We got this covered. ;)
That was a great post!
The funny thing is that at least a decade ago, Michael Savage was talking about pornography and how you could judge a culture by their porn. He stated at that time that Japan had the most vile, degrading, fecal-centered porn that he had ever seen. Just disgusting—and that interest in child porn-—(this is my opinion) probably came out of the Samurai practice of men sodomizing young boys and the lack of dignity and worth given to women. Christianity didn’t end the idea of “sodomy is good” like it did in Western Civilization.
Worldview matters and the Judeo-Christian Ethics created Romance and Chivalry and put women on a pedestal where they chose their own husbands. Gave them power and men had to work and grovel and show respect to win their hand—show competence. Now, nothing—they get easy sex with no commitment....which means nothing in the end. My mother always told me—if you give away the milk, there is no reason to take the cow.—(I might have butchered that???)
The Brave New World illustrates a world where there is no love—no biological connections— mother and father have become ugly concepts—where children are raised and conditioned by the state and have no biological connectedness to other human beings which means they are unable to connect—like the Romanian orphans.
Exactly like the radical egalitarianism of Marx where humanity is no longer a part of man where everyone is interchangeable, biology has no meaning and the words wife and husband are obsolete. Love is nonexistent—because God is nonexistent in their world-—no hope, faith or charity. Ugly cruel meaningless relationships.
I think that’s true. As the availability, quantity, and realism of porn increases, the need for actual partners decreases. In fact, in some ways, it makes life easier as dealing with real partners is often a painful, messy affair. If (really when) true “cybersex” becomes reality, it will be a major paradigm shift for Society.
Its quite possible that Cybersex, rather than other things (nuclear war, global warming, meteors, etc) may prove to be the “extinction event” for human beings as we know them.
By that time, we may also find a way to encase our entire consciousness inside robots. That would eliminate the need for reproduction as well.
they have redirected their libidos to virtual sex with anime characters, which is really quite disturbing.
But an employee to cook, clean, shop, organize, and maintain good relations with the relations will still have a price above rubies.
Actually, I think your misogynist fantasy will prove to be attractive only to an addled few ... and those will be the subjects of the type of business mentioned in the article's closing paragraph: cleaning up for the "lonely dead" who are discovered when they reach a critical stage of decomposition.
"Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free," is the standard version of that old saw.
I see it similarly to you, as young men being on strike, having decided that the cost of having a girlfriend or wife is not worth the benefit.
Thanks-—I am sure my mother quoted it correctly-—I have overloaded my brain with too much information!
I wish I could empty out all the useless celebrity gossip, for example, so that I’d have space in my brain to remember what day it is and whether I fed the fish!
Woah! slow down TC. It isn’t “my” mysogynist anything. I never said word one I liked the idea. I pointed out the discussion has taken place for decades and if you do not think it’s happening, you need to read up. Because actual scientists have been working on the tech for years. The same tech that lets you mind control a computer screen or an aircraft a’la DARPA will let you do the voodoo youdoo with a mental sex partner.
Again, I did not say ANYTHING about approving, backing, wanting or anything else so you might wanna relook at that ‘your’ mysogynist fantasy thing.” It ain’t mine. It the way the technology and society are headed.
That said, if I took that the wrong way I apologize up front. If not, see above.
I would re-phrase as "...they have no interest in sex with anybody who would actually be interested in THEM.”
Much is said about the effect of visual porn on men. Less is said about the effect of movies and "romance novels" on women, setting unrealistic expectations of what kind of lover they "deserve".
AMEN!!!
Mark Steyn’s book, “America Alone” goes into great detail on populations statistics. The data are appalling. All of Europe is below 1.5 as is Asia as well. I believe Japan’s level is 1.3 which Steyn calls “cultural suicide.”

That would make a great T shirt “Hikikomori - don’t bother me”
Hey! I saw that Futurama episode too! (With Lucy Liu)
The real and deeper issue is the stealing of the soul that such 'unhmane' service to the chemical rush brings about. The rush is obtazined with no connection to a taboo structure, and taboo structures in society have always been connected to a god-fear of one kind or another. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. What do societies become when they eschew wisdom? We are witnessing the phenomenon in our dying American Republic, where serving great lies has become the daily work of the information class (euphemistically called the mainstream media). Disconnecting the human psyche from God is what these are actually serving, and that is sourced in the father of lies, a murderer from the start. Murdering the souls of men and women is the work of, you guessed it, the most hate-filled evil in the Universe.
In countries like Japan, it is not enough for the evil one to turn their society into a godless mire, the evil one feasts upon the death of their souls. Pornographers make a fortune murdering the human soul. But they are even small fries compared to the wholesale soul murder accomplished with addictions. Think in terms of Japanese youth being addicts to a brain rush they have no societal taboos to help them know right from wrong. The Japanese culture, once strong and vibrant, was caught unaware of its vulberability to the oldest trick, bread and circuses.
Mooooo....that’s all I have to say.

BTW-where is Laz? Isn’t it FR protocol that he post on all Asian-sex threads?
