FINDING: The next generation of Japanese are less interested in sex

IMPLICATIONS:
Why are fewer Japanese young people interested in sex? Not only are fewer Japanese interested in sex, a growing number seem to be disgusted by human contact. We’ve known about dropping birth rates for a while. Is this a foreshadow of things to come? See my article, Two Mysterious Human Behaviors, for my ideas on this.

A survey earlier this year by the Japan Family Planning Association (JFPA) found that 45% of women aged 16-24 “were not interested in or despised sexual contact”. More than a quarter of men felt the same way.
