I agree it's a shame that it's downvoted.

A huge percentage of Japanese young people don't want to have sex. We may want to understand what's going on in the national psychology.

BTW isn't Japan on the cutting edge of robotics and always has been? I remember dynamism.com website like 10 years ago.

That struck me as implausible.

But https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/japan-sex-prob...

men: "Women are scary."

women: "Men are lazy, just into porn."

That sounds all too familiar :(
