The Asahi helps to explain the low birth-rate with this article (LINK) "For some young Japanese, sex isn't much fun at all".
A short excerpt:
Abe cites two reasons why these outwardly healthy young men avoid sex requiring a partner. One, he says, is the rise of the Internet, the other is the proliferation of huge video stores stocked with shelves of porn either on video or DVD.
``We live in an age where one can readily experience virtual sex, a simulated experience without an actual partner, through the Internet or the DVD,'' he says.
Hmmm...internet porn replaces sex...what is the world coming to???
