I am a Japanese Man and Yes, We Do Have Sex; and Here’s Why – MyPopTee Magazine
“Japan’s under-40s appear to be losing interest in conventional relationships. Millions aren’t even dating, and increasing numbers can’t be bothered with sex.”Sure, many of us are not dating, but are we really uninterested in sex? But the BBC is even worse. This woman called Anita Rani wrote on the BBC website:
“Unless something happens to boost Japan’s birth rate, its population will shrink by a third between now and 2060. One reason for the lack of babies is the emergence of a new breed of Japanese men, the otaku, who love manga, anime and computers – and sometimes show little interest in sex”.
Doesn’t she know that the ‘otaku’ are not even new? They have been in existence since the 1970s and it’s not exactly a secret. Maybe she didn’t bother go Google ‘otaku’, but I wonder why any BBC editor didn’t point this out.
The bottom line is this: we Japanese have sex. I do and so do my friends, and apparently that’s what recent research has found out.
Here are the numbers
There was some research about Japanese sexual behavior conducted in 2013 (January) by Sagami Gomu, a top-notch Japanese condom company (who, by the way, make world’s best condoms. Their condoms are absolutely amazing! Trust me, once you try them you will never look back!) They did an online survey and got 14,100 answers from across Japan.
The results were… well, you will see.
How often do we have sex
The following chart shows how often people have sex. It only concerns the ones who are either married, in relationships, or who have other sexual partners.
20-something people who are in relationships on average have sex about 4 times a month, which means once a week. OK, it’s not that much, but I think it still counts; we do have sex. And it’s quite normal for Japanese couples to meet only once a week, especially when they work. So, if they bang each other every time they meet, that will make an average of 4 times a month.
How about those who are not dating?
The numbers above only concerned people who were married, in relationships, or who had other sexual partners. But what about those who don’t have a regular sexual partner?
The following chart shows the percentage of those lonely people who answered that they want to have sex.
Who said that young Japanese men were not interested in sex? 82.2% of 20-semething guys, who are not currently dating say they nevertheless want to have sex.
We’ve already seen that people who are dating are having sex. And the chart above shows those who are not dating also want to have sex. This is very different from what the Guardian and the BBC claim. So much for journalism!
How many cheaters are there?
This result makes for very curious reading. It shows the number of people who are dating or married and who answered (extremely honestly) that they had other sexual partners.
Right, this doesn’t make us look good. But, why would Japanese people bother having extra sexual partners if they were not interested in sex?
Just because we don’t date, it doesn’t mean we don’t want to get married
Now look at these two charts. This is the part that the British media often refers to.
Percentage of married people.
Percentage of unmarried people who are in relationships.
Even though it’s true that 56.4% of 20-something unmarried guys are not in a relationship – which the journalists get right – the number of married people is nearly triple when it comes to 30-something guys.
If this trend continues, it will mean that about half of the 20-something guys who are not dating now will get married in their 30s anyway. I would have to say that many young Japanese men still want to get married, even if they don’t date very often, contrary to the impression that the British media tries to portray.
Number of virgins
I think I’ve shown you enough, but, for curiosity’s sake, look at these charts.
Here is the percentage of people who said they have previously had sex.
So, while 40.6% of the 20-something guys are virgins, the number declines drastically as they hit their 30s and 40s. Remember, one of the weird guys that the BBC articles talked about was 39 years old and the other one was 38; they were almost 40. If they are virgins (they didn’t say they were, nor that they weren’t interested in sex), they are in the minority.
Number of sexual partners
The following shows the number of sexual partners Japanese people have had.
The average number of sexual partners 20-something guys have had is 7.4 (although they might be exaggerating a bit). Well, I guess I don’t need to say it again but…contrary to what the British media is trying to make us believe, Japanese people do have sex.
So, just stop saying that Japanese men are not interested in sex, because clearly it just isn’t true!
