Yes I didn't want to get super specific but this

I remember being like 8-9 years old sneakily watching Real Sex on HBO. One episode talked about tentacle porn and that is still the weirdest **** I've ever seen in my life

 

Thats probably what happens when one reaches the stage where regular porn just doesn't quite do it.

American culture is kind've funny. Who knows, but perhaps there's some "Extreme Hanshin Tigers" forum and they wonder what Americans see is so great about physical intimacy.

I think that would be something they'd have to wonder about the rest of the world, no America

Middle-aged virgins: Why so many Japanese stay chaste

 

Tokyo (CNN)When I was a young, single woman in Japan in the 1980s, the economy was red hot and so was the dating scene.

Cool girls weren't ashamed of losing their virginity before marriage.

 

Of course for me personally, losing my virginity was a big deal. But socially, it was no biggie. It was the 80s, Japan was alive, and life was good.

 

Goodness, how times have changed.

 

It's alarming for me, and many of my peers, to see the enthusiasm about sex and relationships we felt during our youth replaced by the sexual indifference seen in Japan today.

 

A government survey released this week suggested that nearly 40 percent of Japanese in their twenties and thirties are not in a relationship don't think they need a romantic partner, with many calling relationships "bothersome."

 

Another survey from 2010 found that one in four Japanese men in their thirties who've never been married are virgins. The figures were only slightly less for women.

Apathy to sex

This sexual apathy is extremely troubling for Japan, which has the world's most rapidly aging population, sparking concerns that citizens will not produce enough children to sustain a healthy economy in the coming years.

 

I was skeptical when I learned of a nude art class aimed at inspiring Japan's growing population of middle-aged virgins.

 

I thought, if a man hasn't had any kind of sexual relationship by his thirties or forties, simply sketching a nude woman is like throwing a drop of water on a forest fire. It's not going to solve the problem.

 

But then we interviewed Takashi Sakai (we've agreed to change his name), a 41-year-old Japanese virgin who says these classes, offered bimonthly in Tokyo by the non-profit White Hands, are the closest he's ever been to a real, naked woman and not some fantasized version in Japanese manga.

 

"When you see a woman and find her attractive, you might ask her out, hold her hand, kiss and that's how it goes," Sakai says.

"But in my case, it did not happen for me. I thought it might happen naturally, but it never did."

Seems like they've achieved the paradise of no sexual objectification and no unwanted flirting. Good for Japan. Much of their young male and female population look upon eachother and just see people.

 

uh... clearly you spend less time on that *other* part of the internet than i assumed!

This is indeed wonderful...except for the no sex part.
