This isn't good if you don't want men becoming increasingly conservative, which is already well underway.
As usual, games of telephone change things pretty radically:
Porn showing choking or incest
I'm making a point about current general trends and their potential consequences, not listing facts.
And a hilarious titbit: cousin incest porn is banned, but in real life, it's not :)
That's not what a "ban" is.
If it was, I could say "driving cars is banned in the UK if you don't show the insurance company your licence".

At the turn of the century, as a 16 year old myself back then, I noted the same about the UK age of consent being 2 years lower than the age at which you were allowed to watch recordings or be in recordings oneself.
(Not that Mormon voting was ever directed by Japanese mating habits. But you get my point.)
This male/female divide is becoming huge in Korea, if I've heard correctly.
Downvoted. but in time it will be clear whats likely the cause of this
"""Among their findings were the rise of sexlessness within marriage, and the popularity of pornography and the services of sex workers, especially among men.
For instance, in some surveys from 2008 to 2024, up to 60 per cent of Japanese men said they had previously paid for sex."""
Japanese people really hate physical contact, or any contact by the way.
In my experience of having lived in Japan, I find this simply not true. Of course this is my own anecdata. Physical contact, from my experience, is seen as a more intimate gesture. In places like America, lots of people would give a hug to their friends when they're parting ways. Japanese don't do that ever from what I've seen, they'll just wave goodbye to each other. But I have seen plenty of hugging, hand holding, and other public displays of affection among those who are intimate.
How about you corelate this with cost of living, financial independece, and decreasing socialisation? We are seeing similar trends in european countries.
When my generation was growing up, and reaching adulthood, in the late 90s early 2000s while our own teens didn't have places where to get intimate, outdoor sex was way more common than it is today!
Who in their right mind would do so today when you can't even pick your nose without being caught by some random outside camera or mobile phone.
Maybe think radically and enforce the opposit of curfews whereas old parents living with their young adults are forced to hang outside at bars/clubs from 10pm to 9am to give their youth some breathing room :))
First that you can't attest who filmed something without a lot of effort that law enforcement for sure won't bother with.
In many countries caught doing such activities in public spaces falls under public indecent exposure, if not something more draconian that puts you on a sex offender list. Morally people will feel obliged to report it there.
For example if you post it to Instagram or YouTube you'd go to jail.
Btw, is it good or bad for individuals and for society?
That doesn't make a lot of sense. 50hr/w was the norm in many countries till the 1960's or so, and yet people were having lots of babies indicating having marriages with sex.
For some reason when we started sending women out to work, the work they had been doing at home stopped being counted as work. But of course it is work, it still needs to be done. As a result, the modern 50h weeks can be anything between 60-80h weeks depending on your comfort with living in squalor, and the presence of children, it's just we for some reason only count the part you get paid for.
Legalize it, organize free rock and roll parties with no phone policy every weekend, see sex and pregnancy rates go sky high in the matter of months.
This and maybe prosecute a parent when he/she kidnaps the children, denying visits or any interaction with the other parent.
Do both please.
Hmm. Did the subjects say worse?
I would speculate that people can fulfill their need of intimacy online which results in lowered incentive to persuade it in real life.
> A 2017 survey of Japanese students aged 16–22 found that 14–17 per cent of them admitted to having romantic feelings towards a character in a video game or anime.
TIL about the name of this phenomenon. I see this always in the context of "terminal online anime fan" but it made me think and look into other occurrences of similar parasocial behavior like the early Sherlock Holmes fandom.
With this current social and tech trends I think we are going to see more Pygmalionic SexBots startups in next cohorts.
did anyone think to ask them why they didn't want to?
