More Japanese cutting out the middleman with dating sims and sex toys
"Sex is just way too much trouble," a 35-year-old man tells Shukan Asahi (3/7), confessing that ever since he used a masturbation aid at age 19 he's never wanted to be with a woman again. "As long as I have a sex toy available, I don't need women. I can't come when I have sex, and you've got to put a lot of emotion into dealing with women. Self-pleasure is a hell of lot less demanding than trying to please somebody else."
And here I am worried that my living space is to junkie to bring a nice bird inside.
"That was the year by which just about every Japanese home had a personal computer and nearly all students had their own mobile phones. With young people dramatically increasing their use of these two pieces of equipment, it led to the bipolarization of their sexual activity," Nario Kaneko, head of the association's secretariat tells Shukan Asahi, noting that those who favored mobile phones tended to be more outgoing and sexually adventurous, while people who pounded away at a mouse and keyboard in front of a monitor were withdrawn and less sexually active.
Perhaps that has inspired the massive popularity of "otome" games, role-playing dating simulation games for women where the object is to win the heart of the computer-generated man they desire. Otome games occupied seven of the top 20 best-selling computer software game titles in Japan last year.
"Otome games are more than enough when it comes to love," one 21-year-old woman says. "I've already decided I'm never going to have sex in my life. I do like watching dirty stuff, though. I've studied adult movies and erotica, so I know about the kind of sex that pleases guys."
That is a shame. Japanese porn, when ain't something messy, features women who seem to be in more pain than pleasure.
Some guys, though, can't be pleased by any sort of sex at all. Take the Zenkoku Dotei Rengo (Japan Cherry Boy Union). It was formed in the watershed year of 1999 by a small group of virgin men who wanted to join together to find effective techniques they could use to lose their virginity. Membership has swelled since then to over 600. But the dynamics of the group have changed, with divisions arising among the rank-and-file among those who are actively pursuing sex and the "conservative faction" whose members advocate a kind of "Cherry Boy Power" and militantly advocate lifelong chastity.
