A little more info on Shawn Baker: He's an anti-vegan and vegetables in general. While he still markets himself as a doctor, he's lost his license; and watching a few of his videos, even if it wasn't due to malpractice, it's easy to see why. When challenged to take a blood test, it showed that his testosterone levels had dropped substantially. I don't know if it is another factor, but in his recent videos Shawn Baker's voice seems to be cracking, getting a little high-pitched.
This article suggests that the reason for lower effect in testosterone in Japan is due to the environment which creates higher levels of binding agents - unfortunately, it's more of an overview and doesn't dig too deeply into details. Interestingly enough they produce 16% more testosterone than western populations.
I think the Japanese population's lack of interest in sex has a lot to do with their super-urban lifestyle which allows for very little privacy. Combine that with the shame culture and there is a huge social barrier. Another indicator is that this is something that has affected this latest generation of both men and women. |
The lack of interest goes deeper than just the privacy and shaming issues. I talked to several Japanese couples, even in their 20s without kids, and they told me "For us, having sex once a month is normal, but we heard that European couples have sex several times a week, that's crazy!". But they had no time, privacy or shame issue, they were just not interested and considered us as animals in heat.
Even if you put them in a perfect environment for sex, they will still be less interested in it. The education plays a role (work is the most important thing in life), but there are other factors. Very difficult topic going way deeper than "lol sex robots" anyway ^^
