Brothers doing it for themselves at the Japan Cherry Boy Association
The Japan Cherry Boy Association is facing a crisis after the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research revealed that almost one in four Japanese men aged 30 to 34 remains a virgin, according to Weekly Playboy (7/2).

"This is only the tip of the iceberg," Japan Cherry Boy Association founder and president Shin Watanabe (himself an unscathed 34-year-old) tells Weekly Playboy. "The real situation is much worse than this."

Watanabe argues that there are lots more Japanese men who are virgins than they are prepared to admit, saying that very few people surveyed about their virginity would be prepared to openly admit to not having broken their drought.

"There are 11 percent of people who gave an invalid answer to the survey and I bet you the vast majority of them would be virgins. And though there is also 65 percent who said they have had sex, that also includes the guys whose only experience is a single session at the brothel and nothing since, so there are a lot of virtual virgins in amongst them, too," Watanabe says.

The Japan Cherry Boy Association currently boasts of 517 members whose ages range from their teens to their 40s. Many join the association in the hopes that women will visit its website and try to pick them up. Some members, albeit only a few, actually succeed in "graduating" from the club by successfully experiencing sex.

"I'm the chairman of the association and I still can't get any sex, so I must admit I have mixed feelings when someone graduates," Watanabe says. "Guys who succeed change instantly, wanting to de-register immediately or patronizing other members by leaving them messages like 'You guys hurry up and get it over and done with, too.' I really hate it. I'd like guys who do succeed to stay around and offer advice to other members and tell them about their experience. But it seems once people have lost their virginity, they want to forget about ever having been a virgin in the first place."

Japan Cherry Boy Association members meet regularly for parties, where they frequently tell stories about how they cope with not having had sex, including this tale from a 32-year-old member.

"I've been going to yoga classes for ages and can finally get my body flexible enough to move however I want it to," he tells Weekly Playboy. "Just the other day, I finally achieved my dream of giving myself fellatio."

Cherry Boys Association members can't just be lumbered into the single lump of virgins, either. "Now, there are progressive virgins, who are striving to lose their virginity, and conservative virgins, who do everything they can to protect it," Watanabe says.

Conservative virgins argue that they've had enough of real women and would prefer two-dimensional types such as those found in manga and anime, who are also not going to lead them to the pain of rejection.

Some virgins, who call themselves liberated, go to ever further extremes.

"Most human worries stem from sex, right? Guys chat up women because they want to satisfy their sexual desire, which also motivates them to get a good job. You want to get along well with a woman, but you're filled with lust and thinking so much about sex it makes it hard to get along well with the woman anyhow," says a 30-year-old member who bought female hormones online to stifle his sexual urges. "Without lust, I'm doing much better with work and with women than I ever have."

Watanabe argues that Japan needs to do something about its excess of male virgins.

"We've got a declining birthrate, which means that the younger generations are going to have to look after the elderly. I can see a generation clash coming on. Why should young people who know nothing of sex have to look after old fogeys who can't get it up for sex any more?" he asks Weekly Playboy rhetorically. "To avoid that clash, those weak at love need to have love made smoother for them so they can enjoy it, get married and have children. I wonder if the media knows how much it hurts virgins and makes them feel isolated when it says that anybody at all is capable of love. We need a society kinder on virgins. We need to smile more at virgins." (By Ryann Connell)

...

Why is this a problem? Did the world suddenly lose 90% of their population, making it actually bad that people aren't constantly polluting it with their spawn?

And for those of you who are about to tear into me for this, consider; there are (to my knowlege) two primary reasons for sex: recreation and procreation. The Japanese are living in a wildly overpopulated country on a fairly overpopulated planet - procreation is not something they need more of. That means that the entirety of the problem this thread addresses is, "Japanese people are finding things they would rather do with their time than hump eachother." Personally, I find it exceedingly difficult to view that with any more concern than I do the fact that they play baseball. Is there going to be a thread in Anything expressing disapproval of every recreational trend different from the American mainstream now?

Edit: Also wasnt there an article on the temple stating how japanese women were virgins often too? Or was it that the japanese in general wernt having sex? Either way i dont think its a problem .

Dead Horse!

The Japanese sex culture is different than the American sex culture. We get it.

It's an issue if you want your economy to sustain itself and grow. There have to be enough working taxpayers to support those who retire from the workforce. If you aren't reproducing at least at the same rate as folks are retiring, then you put a greater burden on the current workforce, impacting your economy. At zero population growth, the only way to control the burden on the taxpayer is to euthanize your retirees after they reach a predetermined age.

As for the reasons for the slowdown in reproduction rates in Japan, a majority are probably cultural. In a crowded society, the Japanese have learned to respect and cherish personal space. Touching is almost taboo, and even married couples sometimes have trouble getting into each others' personal space.

Combine this with a Japanese fear of failure, and the normal young person's fear of rejection, and you are well set up to have clumsy social interactions.

Then add the phenomenon of subsidized dating (Older men paying, in coin or gifts, young women to go out with them just so they can be perceived as successful / attractive. The young women rarely do more than be eye candy and companionship. Why bother with boys your own age when older men are willing to give you the shirts off their backs for virtually nothing?) to the mix, and you have a fairly confused social environment.

Woah woah, this thread can only go downhill. I mean, the topic name itself is biased as is. Come on. Neutral

Too many people think that sex is one of the few ways to "show that you are a man".
