No sex please, we're Japanese
22 June 06
Ahh… the sweet smell of irony. Just days after I post about the world’s biggest orgy (hosted in Japan), along comes this worrisome article about the declining birthrate in Japan:
“Japanese people simply aren’t having sex,” Dr. Kunio Kitamura, director of the Japan Family Planning Association, was quoted as saying by the Japan Times, an English language daily.
An association survey of 936 people between the ages of 16 and 49 showed 31 percent had not had sex for more than a month “for no particular reason”—a condition known as “sexless.”
“As much as subsidies and welfare programs are important, sexlessness is also a critical issue in this problem.”
Perhaps these people were just doing their civic duty.

Someone will make a manga out of this, eventually. There’s already one called “Loveless.” So “Sexless” sounds like a surefire hit!
