They will be making their eccentric entertainment for senior citizen since any day now their retired population will exceed working population.

Fair enough, if they weren't so opposed of immigration or hostile to foreigners they might be able to mingle a bit more. Even places like Europe and Australia is more of a melting pot.

However Japan is also very clean with low Crime rates among other things. It's a very lawful community. (Which is probably why the Law side is more appealing in Japan for SMT while we think it's the worst thing ever here in US)

Can somebody tell me why the work hours in Japan are so insane for this to happen?

Working in Japan sounds like a nightmare. But why is that the case?

The low crime thing had an effect though.

Many shops outside of tourist spots are not protected. I'm talking like the keeper will go to toilet and leave expensive shit just lying around.

You can go to a phone booth and leave your wallet, and find it there the next day.

This is nothing to do with work hours man.

Yeah what the actual shit at finding condoms in Japan. I found ONE store that sold them, a Family Mart in Chuo, Tokyo, which is appropriate given the district it is (business - think paid sex workers would be common here, no?).

I was there last week and searched high and low in a Life supermarket in Osaka. No dice. Was bizarre.

Aside from the "giant" Condom store in Harajuku, I can't imagine where else you would buy them.

Well looking at most of their porn and hentai it's either "creampie time!" or "you can cum inside,today is a safe day!"

So no condoms needed I guess! *snicker*

Condommania? LMAO at "giant". That place also doesn't have good condoms and is 50% fleshlight anime shit. Embarassing to bring a girl.

Actually I am supposed to be using condoms but I have had to master the pull out tech because "it's too embarassing to buy a condom, what would she think?!"

Same girl was fine me getting buy 1 get 1 free premium packs in London.

In Tokyo even the freaking shop keeper probably hasn't ever had sex, so you buy something to do with sex and you can watch their eyes like look twice and away and pretend they don't notice.

Oh, not saying it's a bad thing at all. They have things like curfew for students and what not, but you are pretty much deciding for more Freedom or expression compared to have a safer environment where you don't have to worry about people breaking into your home.

You have no idea how much stuff like this makes me cringe everytime it happens in anime.

Seriously it creeps me out how they make such a big deal about simple shit like "holding hands", "a guy looking at a girl's butt" (with the guy overacting like he just committed murder when the girl notices), or dare I say... "Calling Senpai by his...FIRST NAME! OMG OMG OMG!"

It's like love is some kind of forbidden fruit in anime.

This scene is like a documentary of Japan.

Isn't that all just anime overacting though and not actually a deal in the real world at all?

I can't fully express why, but I think it's the language that causes this. Youths and adults have no way to directly flirt or be open in such as way that they would ever get to the point where asking for sex wouldn't sound too forward or embarrassing. At least without heavy amounts of slang.

Also their attitudes is that it is embarrassing and they never talk about their sexuality. Not all of them, but you know. Manko being taboo and all that.

It's purely cultural of course. Japanese that travel become far less embarrassed as the more they get approached the more they realise it isn't the end of the world to flirt.

It's crazy how a culture can sexually repress themselves to this degree. I'm sure there's a ton of weird social dynamics in play here, but sexual desire is pretty innate in all most of us. For half of a population to give up interest is just fucking wild to me.

I didn't post in that what interest GAF'ers about Japan thread the other day, but this would be what interests me. How they cope with this and their economy will be interesting.
 
Maybe they need to take steps towards enforcing a standard 8 hour workday.

I really don't know if that would change anything. If I remember right germans work pretty much least in developed world and still Germanys birthrate is similar to Japan. It's pretty complex issue.

I have to share some awesome stories of how, when in Japan, don't sex.

So like, my SO and I share PDA normally when in London. Normal I tell you, because hey, no one gives a hell what "they" think right?

But in Tokyo I am not allowed to hug or kiss her in the elevator because the camera can see.

Of course I am a jerk and laugh every time, but we can be on the other side of Japan from her home and it's soooo taboo in Japan.

Finding out it isn't just her was kinda shocking. I thought it was just her but, well, knowingly it isn't.

This is just batshit crazy. It has to be more than work hours, aren't their living spaces impossibly small as fuck and provide zero privacy in terms of "noises" on top of the social stigma that I imagine to be the case when it comes to *gulp* sex?

Am I rite or amirite?

Actually at least in Tokyo, the apartments are super modern. But people only live in them to work, at which point they are either already married or not dating (haha).

So these 30 y/o single girls live with their parents.

Go out during the day and every cafe is packed full in the afternoon with girls. I think it's like what, at any given place at least 50% of them are single and among them are vigins?

Junior, please.
All you guys gearing up to fly out there are assuming the girls want to have sex.

They don't. With anyone.

Seriously, though, their sex culture is really backward and unhealthy. Censored real porn, uncensored anime porn, tentacles, body pillows, schoolgirls, host clubs, groping on the subway, pressure from work and school leaving no time for actual relationships, shame and taboos... it's just a clusterfuck at this point.
 
Maybe if they would ease some of their super restrictive immigration policies they wouldn't have to worry about the declining birthrate as much.

With someone that they will admit too.

The Japanese like to get it on as much as anyone, they do have weird rules on when and how they talk about it. Its also weird because everyone knows you just don't say it.

It's not that they don't have time for relationships, they are all passive towards it. They are passive to sex. Not to say it really is about being with everyone, but the people they do like they wait for them to say something. You can learn this from Drama actually, where the actual romance scene is someone saying they actually like the other person lol.

The sex/escort industry in Japan isn't like Bangkok. You go out of the cities and there is basically nothing around that is creepy etc. I think Akihabara has that on lock, and in the Red Light District you pretty much have Girls Clubs etc.

Women having to choose between having a career or being a mother (due to the ridiculous work force hours) isn't helping things either. In Japan it's considered improper to leave work before your boss which is why they all work so many hours.

I Have zero data to back this up but I think it's one of those things that will work itself out within two or three decades. Eventually their gov't/civic leaders will have to take a step back and realize they have a huge problem on their hands.

Government?

What do you think they can do? Put porn on TV after 11? (tbh it is kinda like that anyway, just never sex)

Force Dramas to have a sex scene quota? (I would personally want this to happen.)

Then there are things like...

Show them sex education videos in school?

At least with that last one, including handing out condoms and shit for free to 14 y/os are things governments do to stop teenage pregnancy.

Sex is taboo in society. Talk about it, and it's hentai (perverted). No one even kisses on New Years countdown (I was there in Harajuku for 2015).

You are not supposed use a condom, you are supposed to contributing the Japanese demography rebalancing by seeding the female(s).

many women in their 30's still virgins is eye-opening. Guess Japan has to check itself.

I think this may just be me, but if you actually get around to asking girls why they didn't, the few said similar things like... they rejected someone who tried haha.

Well all I'm saying is that if they don't shit they won't have a country to govern fairly soon.

I wonder what Japan's cultural attitude is to an unmarried/unwed woman living with her boyfriend or partner.

I'm also curious what the attitude is about premarital sex.

I'm not Japanese, but if it's anything like my parents, I can guess why they aren't having sex.

Premarital sex, as far as I can tell, is basically what causes them to get married. No taboo there.

Also living with a partner well... Most relationships involve a housewife. So I don't think they move in until they marry.

You guys dont really believe these stats do you? They live with there parents that is true. Common to be a virgin at 30 is laughable, I'm sure it is way more common in the US to be a virgin at 30 Japan has no religious or cultural hang ups about premarital sex. My experience and lived there and worked as a "salary man". The country is way more sexually open then North America its just culturally different. Those same women giggling and smiling through there hands at you that they are a virgin will take you to a love hotel and get all kinds of freaky. Its just part of the game and weird cutesy shit they do. It was by far the culture that was most accepting of affairs and secret relationships. Accepting is an understatement its practically encouraged.

Uh...

Okay.

Also secret relationships isn't really a thing, that's not a relationship. We are talking about as a whole here, not just Tokyo. There was a Tokyo survey they did at some point which showed about the % of unmarried adults being virgins etc.

It's sooooo secret, you know they are being secret about it.
