The Japanese are facing serious ‘sex crisis’ via sexless marriage.
A new survey found that nearly half of all married couples had not had sex for more than a month — and did not plan to anytime soon.
The data, gathered from a survey of 3,000 people aged between 16 and 49 at the end of last year, found a 2.6 per cent rise from the last poll, conducted in 2014.
Run by the Japanese family planning association, the survey revealed a record high of 47.2 per cent of married men and women in sexless marriages.
This marks a significant rise from the poll in 2004, when the number of sexless marriages was recored at 31.9 per cent.
MAIN REASON----TIRED AFTER WORK
“Over 30 per Cent of men answered that they were too tired from work to have sex. Apart from improving working hours, there is also a need to review how people work.”
Research by National Institute of Population and Social Security Research found an increase in the number of virgins.
A poll of 5,000 single people aged 18-34 found 42 per cent of men said they had never had sex, and 44 per cent of women.
The countries where industrialisation has gained effect have shown rise in sexlessness due to high demand of work.
However, Japanese dramatic levels has dubbed it as a sex crisis.
Last year, researchers at the country’s Tohoku University devised a doomsday clock for when the country would become extinct due to couples no longer having sex.
That date is until August 16, 3766 a ‘demographic timebomb’.
