Sexless marriages thrust Japan to brink of demographic disaster

Some observations being here in Japan (and about 3/4 of the military guys over here date Japanese girls)

- Japanese women are increasingly disgusted with their "role" in Japanese society. They are still expected to work menial jobs to augment the family income, while their primary focus should be staying home, making babies, cooking and cleaning for the husband, and basically doing what he wants them to do. Not a very joyful experience to some women, who are then typically viewed (and treated) as social outcasts if they become career women or even women who demand a near equal stake in the marriage/relationship. Its not just sexless marriages that are a concern for Japanese leaders, it is also the lowering rate of marriage, as some women increasingly say "screw it" and don't get married.

- Contrast their experiences with American/European/non-NE Asian guys, who are much more open to them having a job and career, or at least having free choice, (and this is a reach but I'll defend it... much more open sexually and more in line with pleasing the woman and not just getting theirs and theirs only)

- It is more of a financial/social disaster because Japan promises generous retirement benefits to its retirees. If there are more retirees than workers in the future as this data suggests is possible, then Japan's economy and society will suffer greatly a most serious strain.
