| In sexless Japan, almost half of single young men and women are virgins: survey |
| 2016-09-20 |
| h/t Gates of Vienna Talk about a shrinking population. A survey of Japanese people aged 18 to 34 found that almost 70 percent of unmarried men and 60 percent of unmarried women are not in a relationship. Moreover, many of them have never got close and cuddly. Around 42 percent of the men and 44.2 percent of the women admitted they were virgins. These people need help. I'm willing to volunteer. |

| #7 I don't think it's a sex problem, so much as a relationship problem. Commitment when you have apps where you literally shop for a one-night hookup, makes monogamy seem redundant in many people's minds. Add in the spread of contraceptives eliminating "Accident" children and you get a large population shrink. Though I suppose it could also be life-expectancy increasing, and health overall, may play a part. We hear constantly about how close we are to defeating everything from old-age to impotency. Go figure Millennials aren't in a hurry to procreate. |

| #5 Supposedly, it was rumored in mythology that only virgins could capture unicorns. Do you suppose that unicorns went the way of the Shakers? |

| #2 Interesting addendum to the FGM article quote about 'weak Egyptian men'. I have also seen collaborative data regarding US 'millennials'. I wonder if it is a phenomena of the increasingly complex task of forming physical relationships, globally declining libidos or if the other half are banging like rabbits. |

| #1 Please, do not share this information with Slick Willy. After all, he does like virgins tucked away on little island hideaways. |
