Statistics suggest the majority of Japanese men in their twenties no longer have any expectation of spending a romantic Christmas Eve having sex with their girlfriend, as has historically been the Japanese custom.
The survey on attitudes to Christmas, based on a sample of unmarried Japanese men and women in their twenties, reaffirmed two significant facts – that, bizarrely, the Japanese Christmas lacks the traditional Christmas spirit of high retail sales, having instead become a dating event in which couples get together for sleazy love hotel sex, and that young Japanese men in particular are now apparently doomed to sexlessness.
Asked whether they had a partner, 64.6% in total said they did not – 72.6% for men, but only 56.7% for women. Whether women are dating older and wealthier men, or younger men are simply totally lacking in drive, libido or money, is still the subject of much speculation.
Over 40% of those without partners reported that they intended to spend Christmas with family, and nearly 20% anticipated a lonely Christmas at home on their own.
As to where in fact they would be spending their Christmas if they did have a lover, some 21.5% expected to stay at home, whilst 23.2% expected to spend it at their partner’s home. A further 21.5% intended to go to a restaurant, and 11.3% to an illumination show.
The other major difference the statistics revealed was with respect to Christmas presents (meaning gifts for lovers rather than mere family) – men on average expected to spend significantly more on presents than women, to the tune of ¥20,514 for men and a miserly ¥12,935 for women.
28.2% intended this gift to be compromised of “accessories,” 11.7% clothing, 11.7% wallets or purses and 11% bags, making the majority of gifts fashion-related.
However, a thoughtful 4.3% did consider games an appropriate gift, along with similarly small proportions for perfume, flowers, make-up, watches, interior goods, home electronics, and travel.
A cheeky 12.9% seemed not to have grasped the true meaning of Christmas, responding that they would only be giving a worthless gift of “love” to their paramour.

Who needs sex when I have my waifu?
@TFish: "Who needs sex when I have my waifu?"
your comment made me remember this video
Elf Fan Boy - Rocko's Modern Life [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lwHPNea0aY]
conversation on /a/.
or a dakimakura.
Assisted masturbating?
Is this what you mean ?

i will spend it with my Mugi-chan. 3D can fuck off.
People that say 2D is better than 3D clearly never had a girlfriend... a real one atleast.
We don't need one either. Go enjoy listening to the bitching
Your point is?
Had one. . .still sticking to 2D
Let them fap to their drawings, anon. Opens the market up that much more.
I always thought the whole romantic aspect to xmas in Japan was a bit weird, but maybe that's going to go away at this rate. I did swap xmas presents with a girl in Japan without knowing the significance before, along with checking off basically every other trope of Japanese romance that doesn't translate to Americans. Kinda funny how that worked out.
I've had boyfriends. They were creeps. I'll stick to my perfect princely boy characters thank you. <3
Did you first meet your boyfriends here on SanCom?
There could be a correlation ...
Everyone knows 2D boys are better than 3D boys. Not even a contest.
People that say 3D is better than 2D clearly never had a 2D girlfriend... a real one at least.
You're wrong at this point, girl's todays are sluts and attention whores, they care for no one but their own desire, Every girl is taught men out there a wolfs when they're young, but not every boy is taught women out there are heart breakers. That is the fact or women in society today, they're just bunch of predators in for the sex and gold. Men are nothing more than implacable toy. They can easily dump you when they're bored and look for their so called "better man". Truth is, it's not the man who's bad, it's their greed and lack of appreciation of what they already have that causes all the chaos. 2 heart-breakers is more than enough to kill me emotions, i'll spend my Christmas with my cat who's always been loyal to me for 6years
a cat is fine too :3
What is girlfriend?
A mythical creature.
An ona-hole !
YOUR WORDS ARE AS EMPTY AS YOUR LOVELIFE!
sankaku ill needs a poster such as you. die troll, you don't belong in this site.
YOUR WORDS ARE AS EMPTY AS YOUR LOVELIFE! MANKIND ILL NEEDS A LOVER SUCH AS YOU!
Waifus are red,
Girlfriends are blue,
But enough talk,
HAVE AT YOU!
*Things guys say they are on their way to becoming a wizard.*
I almost had one in highschool but I didnt get interested more on the idea.
Hmm, I had girlfriends before, it's just that I don't think it's all that necessary.
I mean, yes of course, the sex is nice and if you aren't just doing it for that, the time spend together as well, but the amount of effort needed to actually obtain and keep that makes me feel like it's not worth it.
The standards that people set for their partners reached a point where I gave up somewhere along the road.
If they ever plan to remove those insane standards I /might/ return to 3D again, but for now, someone else can take my place.
I'll stick to 2D.
So? More for You.
I've not only had girlfriends (sexually only 5), I have a 5-year-old son. And I still say 2D girls and an onahole are FAR better than a 3D girl. Especially when you have a nice, QUITE Dakimakura to curl up with at night.
Doesn't matter had sex
People who say that 3D is better than 2D clearly never had a girlfriend... a 2D waifu one at least.
I agree with the drivelling anon, actually having a girlfriend definetly beats staring at hentai all night. Or, if you're even luckier, like I am, that girlfriend also stares at hentai. It is especially lonely to spend christmas staring at hentai. *waits for the down votes*
I will add to the subject tho, that 2d girls do have advantages that real ones dont, like customizeability. and cheapness.
You stare at hentai all night? That's not what you are supposed to do with it.
People that say there's no such thing as unhappiness and depression for having worthless 3D girlfriend clearly never met/know any real girl before.

Majority of women still lacking X-mas dates.
The men outnumber, but just share a woman for Christmas, cuddle her twice as much. Problem solved.
Well...the rate is reassuring...lower early age sex mean lower under 20s pregnancies mean lower population growth...which is good for all countries around the world :-)
Population growht is bad for the planet as a whole: there are too much niggers and gooks to sustain the environment.
So, it is a good thing that japs stop reproducing, and Bill Gates is taking care of niggers already.
Now to kill all the chinks.
Personally I'd like it if we could somehow kill off the chavs, but maybe that's just me.
Apparently population in Japan is declining.
Or so some sources claim.
Technically, population all around the world in first class/developed countries are declining. As people become more and more advanced, the cost of living gets higher, life gets busier and distractions get more and more, making having children (and getting married) a very, very, very, low priority.
It's conspiracy of the system to kill us all, then.
But seriously...yeah, strange direction this one is that society walks towards.
It's so sad to see that the past where during Christmas it's all about having sex till you hear the bell's jingle being turned to cold winters and silent nights with nothing stirring in the blankets.
>Christmas
>2011
No.
I forgive trying to greentexting for the Miros avatar.
In short, Christmas is just another routine day.
Nope... It's just another pretext to drink Coca-Cola. ^_^
No, it's not: You don't have to go to work/University or whatever. The whole day to spend gaming!
It's the Winter Vacation for me, so there is really no difference. Not to mention, most families also don't celebrate Christmas in Singapore so...
"The whole day to spend gaming!"
I do that every weekend.
Agreed. No work is the best part about this. And we get off early on the 24th.
Actually Christmas and Christmas Eve are not days off in Japan. You still got to go to work after boinking your girlfriend or fapping, whichever.
We are the 99%, we never have girls.
occupy girlfriends.
Here, here!
Well, no. It's the second month of the empty wallet where you buy good shit as present and you get bad shit as present. :V
So far, I've spent, $200 on presents for my family and a friend at work (we're doing the "Secret santa" thing) and about $350 on myself this month (on anime and a couple of figures). So yeah, it may sound selfish, but fuck it, I'm not going to spend more money on other people while having to hold back on buying what I want for myself, only to get shitty presents in exchange.
Here in Canada, Christmas is the day to plan which Boxing Day sales you are going to shop at (assuming you have any money left over).
