Blokes in my local pub, will slap your face for the price of a pint of beer mate. Both sides per pint, as many slaps as you want. Some of the women there will do the same and more if you buy them drinks all night. Laughing

I really shouldn't be surprised by this. Those who take part of this are likely men (and I am sure a few women) who are already ostracized from their own culture. Not too uncommon of an incidence in Japan. Unless you're like everyone else, you stand out and are basically looked down upon. NEETs, Otaku, etc.

As for mental illness, Japan does need to come a long way on that. It's still grounds for firing over there, even getting a mild anti-depressant because you had a family member die (and let's not even get into the psychology of their death culture).

I think people and the article itself needs to differentiate between being interested in sex and successfully finding an ideal mate or potential husband. In fact the article's content contradicts its headline. If they became less interested, then why are they pursuing in the first place? If anything, the survey just reveals the women are very much interested despite less action but they are just being picky.


Unfortunately, it seems the declining sexual activity and drive are tied together in Japan. Besides what I mentioned above and the aforementioned sexless marriages, Japan has the least sex among 41 countries surveyed, and the least satisfied as well.

I guess it's only a matter of time before a host club offers the same experience for female patrons.
Actually, last autumn I watched a J-drama with a similar premise, Shima Shima. It's silly and pretty unrealistic at times, but overall rather cute. And hell, I'd snuggle up to Miura Shohei anytime.
