Hey, all of you sex addicts out there! Japan needs your help – STAT!
According to a study by the Japanese government, young adults/teens (primarily men) and married couples in Japan, are admitting to an increasing decrease in their libidos, thus continuing the decline in their once massive population. The only turn-on most of the young men and women seem to be experiencing is what they feel after placing money on the bed next to the latest tech device to keep them up-to-date on investments. The good old days of a shimmering Geisha girl inciting lustful thoughts has been shoved aside in the modern age of sexual indifference, causing a name for the condition, "herbivorous," to slip out of the closet and become more than a whisper in mixed company.
What is going on here? The Japanese gave everyone the “Kama Sutra,” for someone's or some-thing's sake. Geez. The Japanese, ever-so elegantly refined in their decadence, caused many to enviously look upon the Japanese culture as the “go to” research to cure the bedroom blues and “eeew’s” of millions for countless years.
How can we let these “too tired to be bothered” Japanese teens and near-adults now-burrowing-in-their-own-cracks to interact intimately with another human being, to suddenly turn their backs on what had once been the silk kimono of many a sexual fantasy? Hmmm. Something’s fishy, here.
Looks like Japan and China need to try cross-breeding. That way, Japan would grow, and China would slow…and the slaughter of young female babies in China would be no mo’.
Ah, but that idea ain’t gonna happen. So what to do? Oh yes, there is much to do. BUT – the age-ole’ question that actually is new, is how can any of us hope to ever again enjoy sexual pleasure knowing that there is an entire civilized society slowly fizzling-out on human touch? Isn’t it true that our electronic marvels have been generated primarily from Japan? Is this dire news of sexual avoidance a harbinger of trends to come - here, there, and everywhere - in modern societies? If so, intervention must be launched before whatever is going on over “there” reaches the shores over “here" – and the other “there” ‘s.
It can’t be the food that is causing such sexual indifference. Japanese food is one of the most sensual in the world – raw or deep-fried - as with Sushi/Sashimi and Tempura. Hot or cold Sake is akin to an aphrodisiac once one gets over the Nyquil-like taste. For those who view raw fish as disgusting or alien, chances are you have never had a fresh cut of Yellowtail sushi or sashimi which, if of a fine chef, will almost melt in your mouth and kick your once-numb arse across the room with a nice touch of pure wasabi, the green horseradish of the East, mingled with a rice vinegar-marinated rice that is key to any sushi chef’s finest hour.
For the more adventurous and suicidal, there is always the gem of having Blowfish sashimi spread out in front of you in a grand design of one sort or another on a charming plate where you may partake the wrenching ache of knowing that you may die in a micro-second if your chef had not cut that damn fish’s poisonous elements out of the safe-way of it’s hawty-body. Oh, what a rush! Who needs drugs when you sit at the sushi bar, chopsticks clamping a seemingly innocuous piece of transparent slim-cut raw fish which may end your life? Whoa! No sex for me tonight! I’m already full of might! Or “might-not.” Perhaps that’s what’s gone awry. The new generation simply will not try.
