The country that invented hentai and the love hotel is apparently falling out of love with real life sex.

According to the Daily Mail, "some 44 per cent of unmarried women and 42 per cent of unmarried men in Japan admitted they were virgins in the 2015 National Fertility Survey." (This is up from 38.7% of women and 36.2% of men in 2010)

But that's just unmarried people, so if most young Japanese are still getting married, no big deal, right? Unfortunately, the study also found that, "60 per cent of women and 70 per cent of men aged 18-34 said they were single."

Meanwhile, another study says 30% of Japanese men in their 20s and 30s have never even dated a woman.

The cause of this apparent disinterest in sex is unclear, though long work hours, pornography, and sex robots have all been blamed.

Japan has one of the lowest birthrates of any country in the world, resulting in a population that is both ageing and in decline.
