Japan has a worrying number of virgins, government finds

  • Asia

We knew Japan had a sex problem. We just didn't know how bad it was until now

Japan's demographic challenges are well-known: It's home to the world's oldest population and has a shrinking birthrate and an astonishing number of single people. And it seems that, despite government efforts to incentivise marriage and child-rearing, things aren't quite trending in the right direction.

    There was one clearly positive indicator in the survey: For the first time, the proportion of women returning to work after having their first child in Japan's once notoriously patriarchal society exceeded 50 percent.

    I think there might be a hint here. It seems pretty clear that for every generation that comes along, the women are even less tolerant of putting up with men's shit (#notallmen etc).

    Also what AspenLovesYou says. That's quite a difficult cultural imposition.

    In the book "Modern Romance" there was a problem described in their culture where the men were raised to be quiet and respectfully shy, and women the same. The men were too respectfully quiet to make a "move" or ask a woman on a date. The women, if they asked a man out, were seen as acting inappropriate and therefore not worthy of being dated or married.
