Japanese people aren't having sex. And nobody knows why

Young adults in Japan are having less and less sex, according to a recent review – and no one knows why.
The review estimated that around half of Japanese people reach their mid-20s with no sexual experience at all, and approximately 10 per cent reach their 30s before having sex.
Even those who have lost their virginity don't seem to be having much sex. Online surveys from the 2020s indicate that around half of Japanese adults aged 20–49 are sexually inactive, meaning they haven't had sex in the past year.
In comparison, just over one in three Japanese adults aged 20–24 reported being sexually inexperienced in 2002, compared to 51–60 per cent by the 2020s. These are the conclusions of a review of Japanese sexual attitudes and behaviours, published in The Journal of Sex Research.
The study's authors trawled through 38 publications on sexual trends in Japan from 1974 to 2024, mostly in a heterosexual context.
This also appears to be a global trend – young adults in high-income countries all over the world seem to be having less sex. For example, a 2019 study reported that nearly a third of their UK respondents said they hadn't had sex in the previous month, compared with around a quarter in 2001.
But the authors of the recent study wrote that this issue was particularly pertinent in Japan, where “sexual behaviours are often described as a contradictory mix of permissiveness and expectations of discretion.”
While they couldn't be sure why Japanese adults were having so little sex, the authors did suggest some theories.
One was that people just didn't want to. A 2020 online survey indicated that 20–30 per cent of men aged between 20 and 39 years old said they didn't want to have sex, as well as around 40 per cent of women.
The authors also noted that a demanding work culture of long hours and commutes may make it difficult for young adults to maintain sexual relationships. In Japan, around 30 per cent of men and 15 per cent of women work more than 50 hours per week.

Japanese men have small penises and weird fetishes, that's why.

I'll have to do some online research to be sure about this

It’s a problem in pretty much every non-shithole country.
Same old reasons:
-lack of community
-online dating
-chemicals in food
-bad economics causing vast cultural apathy
Etc etc

Aren't the Japanese far more invested/interested in electronic novelties...games, phones, toys, etc.? They're probably in the midst of a loneliness crisis caused by their virtual realities.
