japanese women are already thirsty
The country is in the middle of something of a sex crisis. Its birthrate is among the lowest on earth, and the number of marriages is in decline. "Why have Japanese young people stopped having sex?"
'Many young people have just decided they don't want any part of it. I'm as baffled as anyone else by it!'
Most baffling of all are the otaku [geeks], many of whom have chosen to withdraw from the dating game altogether in favour of 'relationships' with virtual girlfriends
Among them are Nurakan, 38, and Yugai, 39, whose 'girlfriends' Ne-ne and Rinko both come in a box and are part of a virtual game created by Nintendo called Love +.
And the pair really do believe they're in real relationships with the animated characters. 'I like the girls in this game too much,' explains Yugai, who adds that he tries not to have sexual feelings about his virtual girlfriend because the relationship is supposed to be platonic.
Asked whether he'd like a real girlfriend, he answers: 'Yes of course I do but since I began a relationship with Ne-ne, I'm really emotionally involved with her.'
'Ne-ne', should you have forgotten, is a cartoon schoolgirl, who says things like: 'do you really want to talk this late at night?', 'Because I like you, I will always want to be with you' and 'Let's go to the beach, let's dream and have lots of fun.'
Yugai, who says he is 17 in the Love + game, explains that for him, being involved with a cartoon is easier because he will never have to contemplate marriage.
'At high school you can have relationships without having to think about marriage,' he explains. 'With real life girlfriends, you have to consider marriage so I think twice about going out with a 3D woman.'
Why would you get into something as messy, as troubling, as disorienting as a relationship when you could have a virtual girlfriend, a virtual experience, that maybe is even superior to the reality?
'I do know a number of men in Japan, and elsewhere, who find the role play games, the dating SIMS, even advances in pornography, and would rather experience the opposite sex that way than go through the challenges of relationships.'
'Japanese men are straight but they are not interested in women that much,' explains Natsuo. 'They don't aggressively try to get girlfriends.
