| curl-6 said: Japan's relationship with sex is a fascinating one. For all its rep as the homeland of hentai, the birth rate has plummeted, and the younger generations seem increasingly disinterested in sex. A survey in 2012 by the Japan Family Planning Association found that a whopping 36% of males aged 16-19 had no interest in sex. (Up 19% since 2008) The figure for girls was even higher, with 59% aged 16 to 19 expressing no interest in sex. (Up 12% since 2008) Those are some pretty mind-blowing figures.

This really does put into focus Japan's aging and declining population numbers. I'll be curious if this snow balls in coming years or this blip in history.
