My wife is Japanese (she's not in this percentage fortunately), so I'll explain a bit of what I gather of this issue.

First of all, most couples are still formed because of convenience and not love. You find an adequate guy/chick and you stick to him/her. You do all you can to please them so you can stick to them. And this in Japan means a lot of pressure on you because you must always do things a certain way. Once you find a person you are doomed to the couple life. Of course you must like the person and choose one, but it's still too much about convenience.

Also, their concept of love is soooo different, they never show affection and sex is in most cases not related to love, it's that thing you do for a few minutes when you're horny. Seriously, when I first had sex with my wife she was concerned, she said I was taking to long to finish and therefore I must be not attracted to her sexually. She didn't understand the concept of enjoying and taking it slow, sex is a race to orgasm (if the woman can reach it of course). Of course it beats wanking, but affectionately it is much less important there.

And finally, there is so much pressure in Japan for people to behave certain way that there is a huge amount of people that, since they're children, feel that they can never succeed in pleasing society and as a result they have gone the total opposite way and reject any kind of behaviour that is imposed on them, one of them being dating (yes, if you don't get a couple your family will be concerned).

So it makes sense that some people reject sex, not because of sex per se, but because of everything that it brings with it.

I differ in opinion here. I myself take pride in being the fastest gun in Westphalia.
