About 1 in 4 Japanese adults in their 20s and 30s have never had sex, according to a new study
Hong Kong Japanese adults have their first heterosexual sexual experience later than their counterparts in the US and UK, according to a new study.
Public health experts at the University of Tokyo found that sexual inexperience was on the rise in the country, with the percentage of women aged 18 to 39 who'd never had sex rising to 24.6% in 2015 up from 21.7% in 1992. The change was greater for men of the same age, with 25.8% virgins in 2015 up from 20% in 1992.
Ueda's team also suggested that Japan could be leading a global trend toward sexual inexperience between heterosexual couples, with sexual inactivity rising among young adults in Germany and the US, suggesting a global shift in attitudes on sex.Katie Hunt contributed to this report.
