This time is about the sexual behavior of Japanese people. According to a study by the Family Planning Association of Japan, 39.7% of Japanese people between the age 16 to 49 is living a "sexless" life. Also, 34.6% of married couples claimed they haven't had sex in the recent month. This really surprised me, since I am always under the impression that Japanese would be relatively sexually active given their prosperous adult movies industry as well as night lives.
Or maybe they are correlated. The Internet has a negative impact on people's social skills. People spend more time online, in chatrooms, and online game virtual worlds, rather than spending time talking to real people face to face. Maybe the Japanese people are also spending so much time in the virtual world of adult movies that they lost interest in having sex with real people.

I would propose a different reason. It's difficult to raise children in Japan because of the cost. To avoid raising children means to avoid pregnancy.
To avoid pregnancy, you can use a condom, except that I suspect that Japanese males don't use it because they don't like it and that they can due to their more authoritative role in the family. So... they abstain from sex or ejaculate outside (which is still risky). I'd be interested to learn statistics on how many use condoms and how many use them voluntarily.
