More Than 40 Per Cent of Japan’s Adult Singles are Virgins, Says (2016) Study

More Than 40 Per Cent of Japan’s Adult Singles are Virgins, Says Study

Cue all the left wing wackos, 99% of whom think pre-marital sex should be the norm, who will say these guys are all “repressed,” and cue the 99% of conservatives and conservative Christians in America who will say these singles are weirdos who should be marrying young and popping out tons of rug rats. Nobody but nobody respects the choice of adults to remain virgins (or be celibate).

By the way, American Christians should stop relying on “bedroom evangelization” to increase Christian numbers, as the New Testament does not teach this concept: the Bible teaches that converts are to be made by Christians sharing the Gospel with Non-Christians, not by Christians marrying each other and having children.

I’d like to offer another view about this news story.

American Christians (and their secular counterparts) tend to assume that most people, or everyone, is having sex prior to the age of 25 or 30 (see this link).

Many Christians wrongly assume that remaining a virgin into adulthood is a (Link): “heroic” or (Link): “impossible” feat, and is only possibly by a (Link): tiny fraction of super holy adults that God “gifted” with celibacy. This story shows all that to be bunk. Single adults in Japan are staying virgins in droves!

Now, being celibate when you’d rather be having sex can be difficult at times – it’s not always an easy task – but, contrary to secular assumptions and idiotic teachings put out by most conservative (and some liberal) Christians, it is NOT an impossible deed only a tiny percentage of adults are capable of. It does not take a “special gifting of God” to be celibate, either – I don’t think many Japanese in Japan are Christian, are they?

By Our Foreign Staff – 17 SEPTEMBER 2016 

More than forty per cent of young singletons in Japan are virgins, according to a new study that highlights concerns about the country’s demographic challenges. Japan already suffers from the world’s oldest population and a shrinking birthrate, with the government struggling to incentivise marriage and parenthood.Now a survey of unmarried people aged 18 to 34 found that around 42 per cent of men and 44.2 per cent of single women had never had sex.The study is carried out by Japan’s (Link): National Institute of Population and Social Security  every five years…. The new data however indicates, that, if anything Japanese men and women are growing apart.

The last time the study was conducted in 2010, only (Link): 36.2 per cent of men and 38.7 percent of women said they were virgins.

Nearly 90 per cent of the respondents said they want to get married “sometime in the future.”

But 30 per cent of the 2,706 men sampled and 26 per cent of the 2,570 female respondents said they were not currently looking for a relationship.

…But recent years have seen a shift in traditional family structures, and a protracted economic slowdown as a global powerhouse, which has  reportedly resulted in  many men struggling to hold down secure, full-time jobs.
