Comment on Sexless Japan: “77% of Young People Have No Lover” by Piecake:

Does this article report any statistics? Did they mention their survey methods?

The reason I ask is that “Statistics” like this should be taken with a grain of salt. I could say that 95% of the wives of dentists use Crest toothpaste, but that doesn’t take into account the fact that they all get free Crest toothpaste (all dentists do) or the fact that I only asked 4 people for their opinion.

Different variables like time of day (asking people walking on the street around dinnertime if they have a partner could be silly, they would probably be at home instead), the amount of people asked, and what type of response bias you have could seriously change what these numbers are.
