Japan does, in fact, have a declining population, and this could be why:
Of the survey’s respondents, 49 percent said they had not had sex in the past month, up 5 five percent over numbers from 2013. Most blamed fatigue, a loss of spark, or the sense that sex was just too much of a hassle. But 18 percent of men (20 percent among those aged 25 to 29) just said they have no interest in or actively dislike trips to pound town, suggesting a deeper social change beyond a collective dry spell.
No interest in sex? Too much of a hassle? FML. Take some time out. Go on a holiday, buddy.
If the math is right, “by 2020 old-age incontinence underpants will outsell diapers, by 2040 over-80s will outnumber under-15s, and by 2060 the nation’s population will shrink from its current 128 million to 87 million.
