5) Attitudes About Sex

So if relationships are too much work and marriage is too negatively stigmatized, why can’t people just have more casual sex as is so prevalent in American culture (think Sex and the City). Well, some people in Japan certainly do, but for a variety of reasons already discussed above, the environment is just not conducive for this to be as prevalent as it is in America.

For one thing there are too many dick noses running around.

For one, Japan is still very patriarchal – the view is that men desire sex and women, if they comply, women are kind of expected to lay there and take it instead of being the initiator with desires of her own.

Which as Megumi Fujii has proven, not all Japanese women are going to just lay there and take it.

Two, with more men in Japan OK with being portrayed as “herbivore men” and being into their hobbies rather than caring about having sex, this means less men in the casual sex pool.

Thug life.

Three, many women in Japan are judged as being whores if they have casual sex. Japanese men have perpetuated the stereotype that young women should be innocent and almost virgin like.

These double standards are getting out of hand… as expected of Japan REALLY WEIRD!

And finally four, as discussed in relation to the internet and technology, there are many alternatives to sex that men are actually finding more appealing, or at least satisfying enough to forgo the hassle of establishing sexual relationships.

Could this be one of them? We don’t even know anymore.

Hence, with the interplay of the factors discussed above constantly at work, Japan better do something quick before the people stop having sex altogether and the population tanks to dangerous levels!

Let’s hope that dangerous level doesn’t ever come to vegetable based sex dolls.
