Sexless Japanese face extinction!

-

MORE than HALF of married Japanese people DON’T have sex – leading to fears the electronic­s experts might DIE OUT!

A new survey by the country’s family planning associatio­n found nearly half of couples had not slept together for more than a month and did not expect that to change in the near future.

The data on married couples were among the findings of a wider survey of 3,000 adults conducted in 2016.

A record high 47.2% of married men and women said they were in sexless marriages – up 2.6% from the previous poll in 2014, and significan­tly higher than the 31.9% recorded when it conducted its first survey in 2004.

If current trends persist, Japan’s population of 127 million is expected to drop to around 86 million by 2060.
