the Study has been published in the british medical journal BMC Public Health and has been developed in a collaboration between researchers at the university of Tokyo, and the Karolinska institute in Stockholm, sweden.
As a test material we used a sample of survey responses collected by Japan’s national institute for befolkningsforskning, where one of the questions has been: ”Have you ever had sex with someone of the opposite sex?”.
of the women aged 18-39 years no on the question, and by 2015 that figure had risen to 24.6.
A similar trend can be discerned for men in the same age group. 1992 replied the 20 percent that they have not had heterosexual sex, while the figure was 25.8 percent in the year 2015.
the number of shrinks the higher up the age span the researchers examined, but even in these ages increases the sexual oerfarenheten. The figure for women between 35 and 39 years old was 4% in 1992 and 8.9% in 2015. The figure for men in the same age increased from 5.5 to 9.5 per cent.
the researchers can partially relax the sexual oerfarenheten to factors such as unemployment and low income. In their conclusion they write, however, that further research is needed on the underlying reasons ”and the potential health and befolkningskonsekvenser that can be carried by a high percentage of japanese people remain sexually inexperienced well into adulthood”.
the Researchers ‘ results are also highlighted in Japan, where the news agency Kyodo in this context, notes that Japan has one of the world’s lowest relative fertility rates, and that the authorities have estimated that the country’s population will have declined from 126 million to 88 million by the year 2065.
