Around one in 10 Japanese in their thirties has never had heterosexual sex and the number of adults with no sexual experience is increasing
Data from the United States, for example, found just 1.9 percent of women aged 30-34 and 0.9 percent of women aged 35-39 reported no sexual partners of the opposite sex.
The results are likely to be cause for concern given Japan's ongoing battle with population decline and a low fertility rate. "The situation of individuals who remain sexually inexperienced due to difficulties in finding a partner... maybe considered in future policies aimed at increasing Japan's birth rate," the authors wrote.
"More research is needed on reasons for sexual inactivity and how mating market dynamics might be evolving," he added in a statement issued by the university.
