More than 40 per cent of young Japanese single adults are virgins, a government survey has shown, and almost three-quarters of men are not in any kind of relationship
Tokyo: More than 40 per cent of young Japanese single adults are virgins, a government survey has shown, and almost three-quarters of men are not in any kind of relationship.
The poll reveals the extent of sexlessness in the country. The National Institute of Population and Social Security Research quizzed more than 5,000 singletons aged 18 to 34 about their lives between the sheets.
Futoshi Ishii, who heads the survey body, said the root of the issue seemed to be the gulf between how people imagine life should be and how it actually turns out.
