  • SEXUAL ACTIVITY IN JAPAN CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM

  • AMONG THOSE WHO ARE SINGLE HOWEVER, WHAT ABOUT THOSE

  • WHO GOT MARRIED?

  • IT TURNS OUT THAT LESS AND LESS PEOPLE IN JAPAN WANT TO

  • ESTABLISH RELATIONSHIPS BUT THEN THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DO GET

  • MARRIED, IT JUST TURNS OUT THAT A HUGE PORTION OF THEM ARE

  • IN WHAT'S REFERRED TO AS SEXLESS MARRIAGE STOP FOR A SLICE

  • TO FIND WHAT THAT IS.

  • THEY CONSIDER A SEXLESS MARRIAGE A COUPLE WHO HAS NOT HAD

  • SEX IN A MONTH AND THEY DON'T PLAN ON HAVING SEX ANYTIME SOON.

  • I THINK THERE PLENTY OF COUPLES WHO DON'T HAVE SEX FOR A

  • FULL MONTH AND THAT IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD, DOESN'T

  • MEAN IT IS SEXLESS, BUT IT'S MORE THE PREDICTION THAT

  • SEX WON'T COME ANYTIME SOON THAT THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT.

  • SURVEY BY THE JAPAN FAMILY PLANNING ASSOCIATION FOUND THAT

  • NEARLY HALF OF MARRIED COUPLES HAD NOT HAD SEX WERE MORE THAN

  • A MONTH AND DID NOT EXPECT THAT THE CHANGE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

  • OKAY.

  • A RECORD HIGH OF 47.2%

  • OF MARRIED MEN AND WOMEN SAID THAT THEY WERE IN SEXLESS

  • MARRIAGES, UP 2.6% FROM THE PREVIOUS POLL IN 2014 AND

  • SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN THE 31.9% RECORDED WHEN IT CONDUCTED

  • ITS FIRST SURVEY OF THE NATION'S BEDROOM HABITS IN 2004.

  • THE NUMBER CONTINUES TO INCREASE.

  • THE HIGHEST RATE OF SEXLESS NESTS WAS FOUND AMONG

  • PEOPLE IN THEIR MID TO LATE 40S.

  • BUT, I THINK THE FACT THAT THE COUNTRY IS OVERWORKED PLAYS

  • A HUGE ROLE.

  • THERE IS AN EFFORT BY THE GOVERNMENT IN JAPAN THE

  • KIND OF CURB LONG WORKING DAYS.

  • THERE WAS A 25-YEAR-OLD WOMAN WHO ACTUALLY COMMITTED

  • SUICIDE BECAUSE SHE WAS WORKING 100 HOUR WEEKS.

  • EVEN ALL THAT IS POSSIBLE.

  • BUT SHE WAS WORKING SO MUCH THAT SHE COULDN'T TAKE IT

  • ANYMORE AND SHE TOOK HER OWN LIFE.

  • AGAIN, JAPAN'S GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO DO SOMETHING

  • ABOUT THIS BUT WHEN YOU ARE WORKING LONG HOURS, THE

  • LAST THING YOU REALLY WANT TO DO IS GO HOME AND THINK ABOUT

  • KNOCKING BOOTS WITH YOUR PARTNER.

  • I AM HALFWAY NOT BUYING THAT.

  • LET ME EXPLAIN.

  • CONTEXT IS IMPORTANT.

  • 1ST OF ALL, I FEEL LIKE JAPAN GETS PICKED ON TOO MUCH FOR

  • THIS TOPIC.

  • THERE ARE SO MANY STORIES ABOUT HOW THEY ARE NOT HAVING SEX

  • IN JAPAN AND I WISH THEY HAD MORE CONTEXT FOR COMPARING

  • IT TO OTHER COUNTRIES.

  • WHY DO THEY DO THAT?

  • THE REASON IS BECAUSE THE FERTILITY RATE IN JAPAN IS

  • DISASTROUSLY LOW.

  • IT'S AT 1.2 CHILDREN PER WOMAN AND IN ORDER TO ENSURE

  • STABILITY OF A POPULATION IT NEEDS TO BE A 2.1

  • SO THIS IS A SHOCKING STAT ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?

  • JAPAN'S POPULATION TODAY IS 127 MILLION.

  • THAT IS A DECENT SIZABLE AMOUNT.

  • BUT THE YEAR 2060 IS EXPECTED TO JOB TO 86 MILLION.

  • PART OF THE ISSUE FOR JAPAN BY THE WAY IS THAT THEY SHOULD

  • ALLOW A LOT MORE IMMIGRATION.

  • IF YOUR FERTILITY RATE IS LOWER, ONE OF THE WAYS THAT YOU

  • MAINTAIN YOUR POPULATION RATE IS THROUGH IMMIGRATION BUT THEY ARE

  • TO INSULATE SO IT IS CONTINUING TO CREATE BIGGER PROBLEMS.

  • WAYS THAT?

  • I DIDN'T KNOW THAT ABOUT THE IMMIGRATION.

  • JAPAN IS JUST

  • NO, NO WAY THEY HAVE THAT POLICY AGAINST IMMIGRATION

  • BUT WHY DOES IMMIGRATION INCREASE?

  • FIRST OF ALL, IT JUST BRINGS NEW PEOPLE INTO THE COUNTRY SO

  • YOU WILL DROP TO SUCH A LOW POPULATION BUT SECOND OF ALL,

  • IMMIGRANTS, DEPENDS ON THE AREA, BUT OFTEN TIMES IT WILL HAVE

  • MORE CHILDREN BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO ARE POOR IRONICALLY HAVE MORE

  • CHILDREN AND IMMIGRANTS ARE USUALLY POORER SO THESE ARE

  • ALL GENERALIZATIONS BUT THEY HOLD ACROSS DIETS NOT

  • BECAUSE THEY WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH IMMIGRANTS.

  • THAT'S MY THOUGHT, I WAS LIKE OH IS IT LIKE THEY ARE

  • ALLOWING HIGH CUBAN IMMIGRANTS INTO THE COUNTRY AND THE

  • WOMEN ARE LIKE OH, YEAH.

  • LET'S GO FOR IT.

  • OR, BY THE WAY, OR HOW WHITE WOMEN AND THE JAPANESE GUYS

  • ARE LIKE YOU, LET'S DO IT.

  • NO, IS NOT BECAUSE OF THAT THE

  • I'M GLAD ASKED FOR THE CLARIFICATION DIET IS

  • IMPORTANT TO

  • PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THAT IT IS TRUE THAT THEY HAVE A

  • FERTILITY PROBLEM, WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY SEXLESS MARRIAGES THERE

  • ARE IN OTHER COUNTRIES ALTHOUGH THEY SAY THAT NUMBER IS

  • RISING IN THE UK, US AND ANOTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD AS WELL.

  • I LOOKED INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE I WANTED TO

  • COMPARE THE NUMBERS IN JAPAN TO THE NUMBERS IN THE UNITED

  • STATES, AND ONE OF THE MORE RECENT SURVEYS THAT WERE DONE IN

  • THE US, THIS IS BACK IN JANUARY 2015, INDICATED THAT AS MUCH AS

  • 20% OF MARRIAGES IN THE US ARE CONSIDERED SEXLESS MARRIAGES.

  • BY THE WAY, THERE'S THIS HUGE MISCONCEPTION THAT EVERYONE

  • IS HAVING SEX AND EVERYONE IS HAVING US HAPPY SEX LIFE.

  • THE WOMAN IS ONE WHO DOESN'T WANT TO BUT THE GUY IS THE

  • ONE WHO ALWAYS WANTS AND GET SHUT DOWN.

  • THERE'S ALL THESE MYTHS AND MISCONCEPTIONS THAT MAKES A

  • LOT OF COUPLES FEEL CITY ABOUT THE SITUATION.

  • YEAH, THE BUT IT IS KIND OF HIGH IN THE US, AND IT IS INCREASING.

  • I DO THINK THIS UP SESSION WITH OVERWORKING OURSELVES THAT

  • SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT.

  • WHEN YOU THINK IT IS?

  • I'LL GET TO THAT ONE SECOND, BUT TO GIVE MORE CONTEXT

  • HERE, IF THE US RATES IS AROUND 20

  • AND THE JAPANESE RAISE AT 47%, THAT IS A GIANT DIFFERENCE.

  • THAT PHENOMENON IS REAL AND YOU CAN TELL EVEN WITHIN JAPAN AS

  • ANA READ TO YOU, IT USED TO BE 31.9% NOW IT IS 47.2 AND THAT IS

  • JUST IN A SPAN OF ABOUT 12 YEARS, SO IT IS GUY

  • ROCKETING UP AND I THINK ANA, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, IT

  • HAS A TON TO DO WITH THE INTERNET AND INTERNET PORN.

  • I THINK THE INTERNET HAS OF COURSE OBVIOUSLY BEEN GETTING

  • MORE AND MORE POPULAR THROUGHOUT THAT TIME AND 35%

  • OF GUYS IN JAPAN ARE SAYING, MARRIED MEN, ARE SAYING THEY

  • ARE TOO TIRED FOR INTERCOURSE BECAUSE THEY WORK TOO HARD.

  • NO, IF YOU GAVE THEM A COMPLETELY NEW WOMAN WHO

  • WAS ATTRACTIVE AND AT THE END OF THE VERY LONG DAY AND SAID

  • YOU WANT HAVE SEX WITH HER?

  • 99.8% OF THOSE MEN WOULD SAY ALL OF A SUDDEN, I AM NOT TOO TIRED.

  • THAT SUCKS, BUT IT'S TRUE.

  • WHAT ABOUT WOMEN, THOUGH?

  • IS PROBABLY TWO OF THEM.

  • 22% OF WOMEN SURVEYED SAID THEY FOUND SEX TROUBLESOME.

  • WHAT THEY FIND IT TROUBLESOME IS SOME HOT NEW DUDE SHOWS UP

  • SO PROBABLY NOT THE

  • IS TRUE THAT THAT'S RIGHT OUT OF THE SITUATION WE FIND

  • YOURSELVES IN DUCK

  • IS THE THING THOUGH, THAT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH MONOGAMOUS

  • RELATIONSHIPS FOREVER.

  • THE NUMBERS HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS HIGH DUCK

  • THAT'S WHEN YOU BRING PORN TO THE EQUATION.

  • IS NOT THE SAME AS A TENDER LOVING AFFECTION OF A WOMAN.

  • I HEAR YOU, SISTER, AND I AGREE WITH YOU.

  • BUT I THINK THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE NOW IN A SITUATION

  • WHERE THEY ARE THINKING IT IS A HASSLE.

  • WHETHER IT IS A WOMAN WHO FIND IS THAT TROUBLESOME, I CAN GET

  • EXACTLY WHAT I WANT, I WANT THE SOFTWARE STUFF AND IT'S RIGHT

  • THERE AND THAT IS WHAT PLEASES ME OR MORE LIKELY, GUYS WHO ARE

  • LIKE I HAVE TO MAKE HER HAPPY, GOT A LIGHT THE CANDLES AND

  • BRING THE ROSES BUT THIS IS THE PORN.

  • THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I LIKE THAT I'M JUST GOING TO DO THIS.

  • I HATE TO ADMIT THIS BUT THERE MIGHT BE SOME

  • LEGITIMACY TO YOUR ARGUMENT ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU

  • CONSIDER THE MOST SEXLESS COUNTRY IN THE WORLD IS

  • ALSO THE MOST OBSESSED WITH BUILDING SEX ROBOTS.

  • YES, AND VERY CONNECTED IN TERMS OF THE INTERNET AND SO

  • I THINK THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE TO RISE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

  • FINALLY, THE LAST STUNNING FACT HERE IN A STORY CHOCK-FULL OF

  • STUNNING FACTS, AMONG 18 TO 34-YEAR-OLDS IN JAPAN,

  • 42% OF OUR VIRGINS.

  • THEY'VE NEVER HAD SEX BEFORE.

  • 42% OF 18 TO 34-YEAR-OLDS ARE VIRGINS.

  • WOW.

  • THEIR STORIES ABOUT HOW THEY'RE NOT HAVING ENOUGH SEX IN JAPAN

  • ARE NOT OVERHYPED DIE APPARENTLY STATISTICALLY IT IS TRUE.

  • IF I WAS SINGLE, I WOULD GET ON A PLANE SO QUICK TO FIX

  • THAT PROBLEM.

  • OH MY GOD.

  • THAT IS SO INAPPROPRIATE.

  • I AM A BAD MAN.

  • YOU ARE A COACH YOU KNOWÖ YOU ARE.

  • LEVER THAT IS, I'M SURE THAT I AM.
