Of course, one must take all surveys with a grain of salt. It depends very much on how the question is asked, which depends in turn on what results the survey taker wants to get. But the results of this survey are bizarre and fly in the face of what I thought I knew about human nature.
Japanese Sex Robot - They're Not Just Blow Up Dolls, Any More
I’m not sure if they are alarming, or if this is actually a positive development for the human race, but it’s definitely something worth keeping an eye on. Here it is, via Huffpo:
A startling number of Japanese youths have turned their backs on sex and relationships, a new survey has found.
The survey, conducted by the Japan Family Planning Association, found that 36% of males aged 16 to 19 said that they had ‘no interest’ in or even ‘despised’ sex. That’s almost a 19% increase since the survey was last conducted in 2008.
If that’s not bad enough, The Wall Street Journal reports that a whopping 59% of female respondents aged 16 to 19 said they were uninterested in or averse to sex, a near 12% increase since 2008.
There are a couple of possible explanations. One is that they’re so far ahead of everybody else in the virtual world and robotics that they don’t really need it. In a way that’s very sad because no virtual relationship or robot sex doll can really quite replace a human companion. I don’t think. They won’t really care when you get sick or if you die. Then again, not all people do, either.
In a way, it would be positive, because the world’s population needs to drop and they are showing the way.
Basically, though, I think the survey is probably bullshit and what is happening is that it’s currently cool to say you aren’t interested in sex – like some people think it’s cool to pretend not to like certain kinds of music, because it makes them sound more sophisticated or something, but they can’t get it out of their head nonetheless.
Hell, everybody likes sex, especially teenagers. It’s biological, it’s ingrained, it goes back millions of years. And don’t worry about the population growth thingie, Japanese teenagers. As long as you use a condom, everything’s cool.
