35% of Japanese women apparently regard sex as little more than a “hassle,” whilst more than half of Japanese in their twenties thought romance equally bothersome.
Quizzed about their attitudes to love in a survey of 1,000 Japanese conducted for a Japanese newspaper, 45% agreed that “engaging in a romance is bothersome,” with both genders feeling equally put upon at 43% for men and 47% for women.
Young people were particularly negative – 58% of men in their twenties regarded it as a hassle, as did 50% of women of the same age. That for various (primarily financial) reasons marriage is now all but impossible for Japanese men in their twenties probably plays into this perception.
Regarding sex, 28% merely regarded it as “a hassle” – with a substantial gender gap evident, as 35% of women regarded it as such, versus 20% of men.
However, when the results for this question were broken down by age a slightly different picture emerged – 24% of men in their twenties, normally thought to be their sexual prime, thought it bothersome, versus 21% of women of the same age.
Once into their thirties the responses reversed – 19% of men and 33% of women called it a hassle, which rose precipitously to 42% of women versus only 22% of men in their forties.
Media froth over so-called “herbivorous” men, a class of young men generally perceived as being uninterested in courting, does not seem quite so hyperbolic in light of such results.
Meanwhile 25% of both men and women reported themselves entirely “sexless” as they had no partner.
With over half of young Japanese apparently regarding love as little more than another of life’s obstacles, it seems little wonder that their leading cause of death is suicide.

Clearly Japanese men aren't too good at it.
2D>3D seems to be a big cause
Agreed, 2D guys are so much more appealing than 3D.
why is this marked down? So you guys can you on about how superior 2D girls are to 3D girls, but the second someone gives you the cold hard truth....that 2D -guys- are better than you, you can't handle it? Do you really, honestly think you guys are better than the idealized 2D guys? give me a break.
Go anon. :) Men can dish it but they can't take it, huh?
I don't get the tang either way, so whether or not girls like 2d or 3d guys is no problem :D
so yellow b1tches besides being lazy and shallow are frigid... yuck.
The statement was made in reference to males, females and hermaphrodites
HELL YEAH! OVERWEIGHT NERD GIRL POWER!
Regardless of any 2D competition, I think it's fair to be honest and concede that almost none of us otaku have the sort of bodies that are going to arouse anyone.
Maybe the poll is screwed and 30% from that 35% are actually tsunderes XD
i do, technically. at least on an outside appearance i have relatively great genetics, on the inside.... not so lucky, every joint in my body sucks
The tsunderes would have picked the option that says "I-I-Its not like I wanna do it or anything"
@alidan - pics or it didn't happen.
So about 20,000,000 Japanese women are tsundere. Yummy
computer wont accept any external storage device, i don't know why, but it only accepts my 750gb usb hdd, anything else and it tells me it wants to format it. never wanted to fix the problem because if i fail, that hard drive wont work on this computer anymore, its not worth the risk.
im not saying im a god amongst men, but im not a typical sterotype fat fuck either. im at least quite a few steps above what most people imagine someone who has no life to look like
1000 people... This is really a bit too small a sample to judge and entire culture...
"im at least quite a few steps above what most people imagine someone who has no life to look like"
That's what we all would like to think...
@Anon 16:25
Go Back to highschool and learn statistics.
Idealized 2D guys?
"Mustn't run away, mustn't run away"
If Shinji'd put it in Asuka, Rei, Misato and Hikari Evangelion would've been an even better series. ^_^
@anon 13:47
Not EVERYONE is a fat fuck on the internet. He doesn't have a reason to lie, so yeah.
@ the survey results : "You're not doing it right, and/or you're not doing it with the right partner."
@ the anon saying otaku bodies can't excite:
The most important thing in sex is wanting to be with your partner, and of your partner wanting to be with you.
I'm not talking about lust, I'm talking about love.
Relationships-of-convenience don't qualify.
That's why rape it's always an option; sluts have to open the legs sooner or later, willing or unwiling ^_^
So a lot of them think of romance as a hassle? Huh.. good for them :)
after they get their first gang rape, they would think romance is a good idea.
It's all about the penis size. I was in the military and had a damned awesome body, but every woman I laid was like "meh, small penor." T_T Then after a 12 yo asked me if I was in yet, I decided to no longer maintain my physique. I no longer care about my looks or health. So for me 2d women > 3d women. I tried 3d women, all they really care about is what I can't provide them.
I think you have a clitoris, not a penis down there. :P
I am perplexed that 1/5 Japanese men consider sex a hassle. How enlightened.
to anon at 14:46 :
1) Keep yourself in shape for YOUR sake, never for someone else. Be in shape and take advantage of it! Do things people in poorer shapes cannot, and feel great about it!
2) Those women clearly would have been poor sex partners in the long run anyway. Sex is not just about penis-in-vagina, sex is about all sorts of great things arousing and exciting. Someone who has a good attitude about sex could easily have mindblowing sex with you even if you would have not just had a shorter penis, but a micropenis. I'm not talking about toys, but those are a fun thing to add too. (If your next girlfriend bitches about your penis, just make her use an "egg" or the like at the same time as you penetrate her - as well as you two checking out real lesbian/queer porn to learn how to not be too PIV obsessed.)
well the women might as well start fapping just like some of the men then if they find sex such a hassle lol.
I bet they already do.
i guess "fapping" is not the right term
They are shlicking.
Actually, a lot of women fap (sliding the hood up and down the clitoral shaft - no, I am not kidding. Look the anatomy up, the clitoral structure looks like a fucking alien!) as it isn't unusual for a woman to find direct stimulation of the clitoris too intense and rough with things such as fingers.
A lot of women not only fap, but schlick at the same time, too. Stimulating several bits at once FTW. Of course, women can just schlick too.
More sad poll news. I blame the old-ass politicians for the lack of marriage prospects in the younger generation. They seem to forget that people need to marry and(or just) have children for a population(and economy) to sustain itself.
They need to get their act together.
A - Pay more money to people of marrying age
B - Start a war and get kids when the soldiers return home
C - Let foreigners into the country
Foreiengers are already coming into the country. And if they come in, which ones will come in? Probably all wapanese and we'll just see tons of mixed whites and asians in the future, we already are unfortunately.
Immigration just helps improving the statistics, problems in society still would remain.
^ THIS ^
It would be fighting the symptoms, not the cause.
@15:20 I see what you did there by repeatedly saying how they are 'coming' into Japan..I bet you don't live there so that makes it even more intentional...
I think these surveys are completely fucking pointless when they only survey a super small margin of 1,000 which doesn't give a good representation AT ALL.
More confirmation that self-worth and confidence for Japanese women is very low. Something is seriously wrong with the way they view sex over there.
Indeed.
If 35% of the women regard sex as a hassle the men in Japan obviously do something wrong.
Ah well. At least I'm not getting hate mail.
You now are.
You, tonight.
Thank the Old Ones for masturbation...
It will never go out of style...
And with this...
*stares at his Gigabytes upon Gigabytes of Hentai*
Your 2D partners are unlimited...
@ least 35%,lol
well, 2 inches are never good enough :}
Good at it? They don't even seem interested in it! The whole nation will eventually die out, out of sheer apathy.
