  • Japan's birth rate continues to decline and the government has pledged more financial aid to reverse the trend. But many people still hesitate to have children.
    In this series, a Japanese journalist Nobita investigates the reasons behind his nations's crisis and meets with various people on this phenomenon.
    Since we focused on the change of women in the previous episode, we focus on men this time. Hope you enjoy this series!

      ​@@Labyrinth6000 Wells thats just a weak version of "socialist" conservatism if that ever came to be. The real issue is, dating, marriage, gender affirming roles, isnt worth it, cost too much $$$< time and energy and jobs don't pay a "liveable" wage. Considering its easy enough to survive on ones own, theres no need for that "survival" instinct when we get old for our kids to take care of us, hence why no one has kids, society will eventually evolve to "AI" to take care of us eventually.. Perhaps that AI will create that system of "force" breeding us lol later down the centuries..
      If you want mandated Husbands/Wives.. move to the middle east or any other "regressive" religious conservative country, or join the taliban where they kidnap children for their mandated wives.
      also Liberalism also creates that "freedum" for women... Hence they don't care for dating or generic gender affirming "role"., its whythe taliban incels fought soo hard against it.

      People freak out about this, but they are WRONG, it's wrong thinking. Population decline is good for everyone, for all the citizens. As a chronically underemployed over educated person I UNDERSTAND the assertion of Malthus that an unemployed person should not have been born! If we have a situation where there is less work to do, it's better to let the population adjust than to create an army of unemployed!

    This isn't just a Japanese issue, but over 35% of men in the US under the age of 30 have never had sex, so it's a massive thing. Even with marriage down and everything, it's just something that is happening, and many men see it safer than being devoiced and losing everything they have. and Modern women also only want the top 15% of men. So it's a problem on both sides.

    What's odd is that a few years ago a documentary where it touched on this situation I'm Japan, the reporter was asking a bunch of japanese guys why they don't want to find a girlfriend or go on dates, one guy said "only old women want to date men these days" another guy said "most girls cheat and act like nothing's wrong with it" the last guy said " all they want is our money, beside my rent and bills my extra income goes to her" he points to his 3ds and shows he's playing a dating sim game, "any extra income goes to buying her extra outfits, gifts and taking her out to places, she's loyal, she does what I ask and she makes me feel happy, what else do I need"
    Before he leaves he asked the reporter to go to a maid cafe nearby and ask a girl what they think and he'll see what he means,
    The reporter goes to the cafe and asked one cat girl maid what she thought about dating, the chick just turns from happy smiling maid to extremely ticked off vengeance look to her and whispers "I hate couple's, I wish they would all die whenever I see them, I'm tired of them kissing, hugging and sweet talking each other whenever I go out for a walk"

    After being over more than 10 years in out of Japan. Most Japanese women I dated were weird akward and didn’t how to convey any feelings. Most of them also chose to overwork like crazy and despite that they were still like I want a boyfriend. How the heck do you want someone to love you if you don’t love yourself and can’t understand your own feeling. This is not only the main problem with Japanese women but also men because in the end Japanese society nowadays stands for suicide by overwork instead putting children and family the middle point of society. That’s also the reason why there are no more babies 😢🫠

    Well, now (slowly but surely), virgin men are being more widely accepted in the west as numbers have shown so many men never had a girlfriend. So sooner or later, the west will adopt the same attitude as Japan when it comes to virgins. A lot of this has to do with people wanting someone who is 'perfect' but not realizing that likes attract likes. Most people are average meanwhile wanting someone who is part of the top percentage (super models and rich men), but the top percentage don't want someone who is 'beneath them'. The other aspect is that people don't want to date those who make less money than they do, either out of fear of losing their earnings in divorce and being taken advantage of or due to pride. It's a complicated issue and it's sad.

    I'm still young, married and live in Japan with my wife who's also from abroad. I was single here for awhile too. The reality is that a lot of men have become disenfranchised really early in their dating lives and give up. The effects of not keeping up and building confidence compounds over time. There's also an ideal in developer countries of people getting good jobs and surviving on their own. With inflation this has gone out the window, but it's too late for many people to adjust. Dating apps and the like haven't helped much either.

    One factor is Financial capability because women nowadays can work or sometimes they are more income than other man so they find a guy that is more capable or can provide for the family and not to be burden by husband. The standard of women towards guy now is more higher than before so they find sugar daddy who can treat them like a queen eat in fancy restaurant, travel, expensive things etc unlike other guys that broke or live pay check to paycheck the income is exact for the bills and no savings.

Combine the "fear" of failure, rejection, having to play by all the old, traditional rules and it's a "No-Win" situation, as such is often more wise not to play at all.

    There have always been problems, unbalance and unhappiness in a lot of marriages, always. I'd like to hear honest personal stories from the older generation, not the "we protect our marriage's image story".The low birthrate is a socio-economic issue but people's well-being is a psychological and sociological issue... the latter should be addressed sooner than later if Japan wants to increase its birthrate. So what are we doing to change that trend and become better people to each other? I mean, if porn and prostitution was the main problem, humanity would have become extinct a long time ago.
    Also, this virgin male idol band is not surprising to me, Japan is known for creating a lot of niche markets so that everyone can consume things and be addicted to a genre or style. I dont think that this boyband is well-known and popular nationally.

    I think all of the reasons shown have valid points. I dont know if its for similar reasons as much in Japan, but certainly in western culture many men are scared of approaching women because of being accused of being a creep or of sexual harassment falsely.
    Especially if you are shy and awkward, women will find your genuine attempts to flirt as weird and uncomfortable, and some men have had their lives ruined because of these types of accusations. We also get told things in media and the workplace now like even staring at someone can be classed as harassment, or that any unwanted advances are harassment, but for many men it is difficult to understand when it is wanted or not by women. Many men choose to not even try to approach women because of that small chance that she might accuse them of something.

      Also accountability is another issue. Many wanna speaks of women’s accountability for this mess but men have some blame to. The fact many would rather give up on dating and just not try and give a excuse is sad.
      Your a man, nature made you the approacher. I’m gonna say for a fact the women that tell you that going up to a woman to flirt and strike a conversation is harassment (Wich is a minority) are themselves being approached and saying yes to other men that catch their fancy. It’s your job as a man to go out there and put yourself out there. You will fail, ALOTE, but law of probability as well as learning some natural skill and game goes along way.

    There are A LOT of issues presented in this video that cannot be discussed in a RUclips comment at length, but a few things would be interesting to know regarding important statistics for the issue of virgin men:
    - Testosterone levels and how they have changed (if they are lower compared to previous decades).
    - Statistics regarding male victims of sexual abuse and your particular brand of bullying (ijime).
    - (If they exist) Statistics about prostitution consumption by demographic group in Japan.
    - Young women (20yrs-30yrs) average economical expectations in their "ideal" partner.
    - Incidence of Sugar Daddy (Pappa katsu) and compensation dating in women between 20 and 30 yrs old, as well as the average age they started doing it.
    - (If they exist) Porn-consumption indexes.
    All of these can be ideas for videos by themselves, but they can paint a better picture of many of the issues portrayed in this one. Also, aside from the childless women issue you presented in a previous video of the series, it would be interesting to see what would be the equivalent problem(s) for Japanese women.

There are only a handful of 17 year old studies regarding it. Actually the newest one I could find had 13 years old.
      To me, it´s a very neglected aspect of all this problem. Being honest, it´s clear that the japanese male don´t have that much of it running on their blood, which is freaking scary, knowing the effects of such things in men.
      Food and lifestyle are usually the greatest factors for low testo levels. That should be further researched.

    If all life suffers as is taught in some Buddhist ideology then why not marry? It is better to love and lost than to never have lived at all? As a Japanese and Chinese man in America I came from a poor family where my mother commited suicide in front of me at age 6. My Father went insane and was abusive. By age 13 I was working a full time job that I had to lie about my age to get and against the odds I should be dead. I managed to finish Middle School and High school. What saved my life or could have killed me was the US Military. After sleeping at my Public Library by day and Working at night at age 18 I joined the US Marines for 4 years then the USAF FOR ANOTHER 4 YEARS. At age 26 I left the USAF and finished my BS Degree and then worked for the US Government. I am not shy because I have had death placed on my doors countless times. I am a man who like other men who had the odds stacked against them managed to survive. Insumountable odds sometimes make men see the World as a short amount of time. It is like betting on a card game while playing Chess at the same time? You NEVER KNOW until you try. Clean yourself up and dust yourself off even IF girls say they do not care what you wear ... YOU should wear clothes that make you YOU look confident, but not strange looking. If you try 1000 times or 1 million times then by the Laws of Averages you WILL meet someone cool. Excercise: Work your body out, run, and stay the best version of YOU and you will find someone against all the odds. There are so many excuses for failure; but there is only one answer for success and that is to walk your path in life or NOT. I am 5'11 and 208 lbs and I consider myself a short Asian man.

    The biggest issue for the increase in virgin men is because of government and school restrictions.
    Like the recent ban of ponytail for girls in school, because it apparently sexualizes them and diverts boys from studying. This is just creating more social and emotional distance between men & women at a very early age itself.
    There is also active deterrence towards dating in Japanese schools, as a boy has to get school permission to date a girl, which majority would find a big hassle.
    Plus, high focus on academic and economic performance, which is making then focus more on other things than on relationship.
    Fear of misunderstood is also a big reason, as a Woman could easily get a Man arrested or socially ostracized just for talking, since Women in general have the notion that all Men are sexual predators especially those who don't look appropriate, which is more common in western countries.

The lack of babies is directly correlated to women's educational attainment. If you want japanese women to have babies again, you NEED to keep them out of higher education such as college and university.

      One of the primary reason why working women give-up on marrying or having kids is because of fear of losing job if they had to take maternity leave. Heck, many companies (especially in Japan) actively discourage female employees from getting married or having kids (by indirect blackmail with their job on the line). And since it's hard to get a good stable job in Japan (especially a permanent one), many cave-in and follow those enforcement.
      There is also the notion which is heavily being marketed nowadays, and that being Women don't need Men to survive, whether they have job or not.
      There is also the fact that Women in general look for high income men to marry, to have a better life, and if things go bad, they can then always get divorce along with alimony and move on.

    Nobita san, I like the topic of this video. The issue is become global problem, not only in Japan but also many countries. Not just male virgin but also female virgin almost the same reason. The fear of economic factor, the culture of society also give the big impact of the young generation to choose to be virgin and single.
    As for me, the trauma of sex abuse became one of the reason to be single.
    But I hope one day I can find genuine man with traditional value and good heart.

      It can only be looked at positively, if that virgin can get another Virgin of childbearing age. And the only way to do that is through matchmaking culture. Dating is not biblical. Dating is relatively new and is Western culture. The Bible is Eastern culture from cover to cover and there is no dating in the bible.
      God gave Eve to Adam
      Abraham sent for a wife for Isaac
      Hagar got a wife for Ishmael
      Pharaoh got a wife for Joseph
      Jethro gave his daughter to Moses
      Judge Ibzan sent for wives for his sons
      Etc.
      In eastern culture there is no physical contact before marriage.
      Even kissing and touching are the first steps on the stairway to sexual intercourse.
      Why would you play with fire if you don't want to get burned.
      So if on one hand you are going to a spouse all the prohibitions against fornication...
      Then on the other hand you must also espouse the compliment to that.
      That is matchmaking. Facilitating marriage. Honorably bringing together a man and woman that are desirous a marriage mate.

    Listening to what the guys here are really saying, what I heard again and again was some variation on "I don't think it's realistic to have a deep, meaningful romantic relationship." And I think that probably has less to do with economics or porn or anything like that, and more to do with social isolation.
    Having lived in Japan for many years, one thing that struck me was how isolating and lonely it can be to live in a Japanese city, at least if you live alone. Because Japanese people don't tend to have meaningful interactions with people who they don't know very well, it's very possible for someone living alone to very rarely have a real conversation with anyone, aside from maybe coworkers in a work setting. I can see how in that environment it would be easy to lose hope about the possibility of really connecting with another human being in a way where you can show your weaknesses and insecurities.
    I am often struck by how terrible Japanese people are at actually communicating with one another - there is this cultural expectation that people should understand one another without the need to really say things out loud, and many Japanese people will tell you that Japanese people are very good at it. But the truth is Japanese people are not really much better understanding each other without talking than anybody else, despite their claims to the contrary. It's one of the great ironies of Japanese culture - everyone is trying to be tactful and considerate and avoid offending anyone else, but the result is that you have a society full of misunderstandings that nobody is brave enough to actually sort out. One of the most common tropes in Japanese fiction is people totally misunderstanding one another, and then having a big awakening when that misunderstanding is finally revealed, often after some traumatic event that finally gives them permission to speak honestly. But nobody seems to think "wait, why do we need some traumatic event to happen in order to be able to say our true feelings?"
    If you've basically never had really had a meaningful, deep connection with anyone, and your culture encourages you not to attempt to connect with people in that way, I can see how it would seem like an impossible dream to find the sort of partner with whom you can just be yourself. And how, if you don't believe that is possible, you would think that romantic relationships are just a source of stress and not worth having.

Sad for those victims of abuse or anyone who has fear and hope they can overcome it with support. If brothels and prostitution fill your cup and you don’t have desire for relationships, there is so much that’s missed then in a relationship. With that said, I enjoy my time alone and being single as well, you need to feel good about yourself regardless of your relationship status. Wish all the people you interviewed well. ❤

      Porn isn't the major issue or cause here, if anything, its a coping mechanism that signals deeper issues. Many people want to point to it, since it's an easy surface level examination and hand waving away from any deeper thoughts or perspectives or issues. Partially, I see a large part of the issue being social media, dating apps, high expectations of females towards their male partners, women outearning men, men being discouraged overall and used as a scapegoat, the rise of the internet age and demonization of masculinity and male sexuality and the over-promotion and over correction by feminism taking hold of culture. A lot of this in fact can be laid bare at radical feminists feet, but people aren't allowed to say that.

      ​@@MastaOfMonkeyDisasta I don't really see feminism as part of the issue, and more with urbanization. For example, women earning more than men isn't exactly a problem unless it makes a guy feel insecure, in which case that's just insecurity. What is a problem is that both parents care more about advancing their careers and having children, and thanks to urbanization, a child is a huge monetary investment and potential detriment to at least one partner's career if they're gonna dedicate their time to raising a child.

      @@bubblesofsoapy It most definitely is. The pendulum of gender equality has swung too far the other way. It is increasingly more and more likely that men will be lower educated, drop out of college and make up the lower end of the workforce/labour market. There are vast amount of incentives and double standards that thrust women into success by virtue of their chromosomes while men struggle to even have a solid percentage. On top of the fact that in general, most education systems favour female learners than male (due to the maturity and grow of the brain) it casts a pall over men. Despite how the most rich and successful people are doing, people in the middle and lower classes are definitely feeling it.
      Modern women, like the ones in the video, still desire the fantasy of being able to not work and still be taken care of by their male partners. Though in reality men are earning less than women, when fairly compared, in more and more fields. Thus Hypergamy is on display; generally, women don't want to compromise/"marry down", they want a partner that can fuel their desired lifestyle on a single income.
      All this information is just quick Google searches away. You'll have to sift through some bias--as is naturally these days--but you can quickly identify leading contributors in the reasons why men make up so many of the self-deletion numbers. Society has grown and enable women at the cost of men and if anyone tries to point out that fact in certain public spaces they are swiftly censored or shouted over.
      All that said, I definitely agree with you on the point of there being such a large focus on improving careers that people forget to have a life. Due to economical constraints(inflation being one of the largest reasons) it is understandable why people want to earn more money but at the same time it is leaving the ability to have children for the privileged few and people who don't care about what happens to their progeny.
      Tl;Dr: It isn't wrong to want better for women. There is just too much support for people saying it is wrong to want anything better for men. This New Age Feminism is misandrist by nature. Men are suffering and there is precious little that is being done to help us, at least in comparison to the other big movements going on.

    Japan's business and work culture seems to grind men down into dust with long hours. Plus there is a high cost of living. There is no economic incentive for Japanese men to have relationships or marry anymore.
    In the old days, lots of children were necessary for farming, and for maintaining a Clan. There was a high infant mortality rate too. You can have 12 kids, but 6 of them would die as babies.
    In modern days, Japan doesn't need to worry about any of that. So having Children would only place a greater burden on a man with no payoff.

      Lastly, Tokyo isn't all of Japan. Some areas in the main wards of Tokyo are expensive but many areas aren't. Outside of Tokyo things are dirt cheap. My rent in Northern Japan is under $400 USD a month.
      Cost of living isn't an issue. Working culture doesn't help either, but I'd point to OECD data. Japanese don't actually work as much hours on average as the USA or Canada. There's tons of part-time jobs.

    I am a virgin myself, but it was my choice. I'm Indian living in Canada, and my culture is very traditional. It's not that we don't have opportunities, but there's a wisdom of abstaining from immediate gratification, and instead pursue what is truly lasting and meaningful. The first path creates emptiness, the second path creates contentment. If someone only wanted sex, they could hook up / hire a worker. But most of us don't want to just "lose our virginity" / "hook up", we want a friend for life, lasting love, someone we can build our lives with, and achieve goals together. Those are two very different things. People who are virgins, tend to be more content in their marriages, because they're not jaded, they don't have dozens of 'peak experiences', they're not desensitized. I believe this is one of the reasons our divorce rates are one of the lowest in the world 1.3%... ofc some divorces go unreported due to cultural stigma, and there are unhappy marriages, but many are successful -- compare that with 40-50% in USA / Canada. Having no experience, means you get to give someone your first time experience. You can experience, learn, and grow together. So many people in the west have experienced it all, and they no longer want new experiences from you, just companionship and resources. Dating is a nightmare in the west for me personally. In summary, because it's my choice, similar like being "straight edge" (no drugs / intoxication / casual sex), being "sober", "clean", "vegan" (abstaining from animal exploitation) etc... I feel proud and empowered by it.
    Japan I think has a different problem, there's a very casual attitude towards brothels (married couples say it's okay for husbands to go to a prostitute), there's even student discounts at brothels (learned this from 'Yuki dark side of japan" channel), there is a toxic work culture, and many isolated individuals / Hikikomoris, I should also mention underage illustrations, child idols, p0rn addiction,... etc. which definitely removes the drive to pursue meaning, and just subsist on occasional hedonism. This is happening in the west too: OF girls, Incel culture, and p0rn addiction... This is not empowering -- this is cultural decline. I hope good things for Japan, because they have so much to offer the world. And not to generalize either, I'm sure there's traditional and happy marriages that do happen, and there's a lot of good people that want lasting and wholesome relationships. It's up to each of us to be the change we want to see in the world.

    • @extraterrestrial4287

      In eastern culture and especially traditional Judeo-Christian culture, Chastity before marriage was expected and it was the duty of the parents, the family and the community to honorably bring young men and women together for the purpose of facilitating marriage. There is no dating in the bible. Another thing, virgins are timid by nature and may not be inclined to go out and seek a mate even if that is their heartfelt desire. Modern Christianity especially within Western nations is trying to live with one foot in Eastern culture and one foot in Western culture. Although they may state the biblical injunction for Chastity before marriage, they do nothing with regard to honorable matchmaking and facilitating marriage. One foot in Western culture and the other foot in Eastern culture. That does not work. When a young person comes forward and announces their desire for a marriage mate, it is the Christian obligation of the parents, the family and the community to see that becomes a reality. Although Japan was not Christian, it was still Eastern culture. Yes, the brothels are bad but that's not the root cause of this problem in Japan. Even though Japan had prostitution historically, women were expected to be virgins upon marriage. This all changed after the war when Japan became subjugated and westernized.
      The problem is in Western loose culture where dating is the norm and women are not expected to keep their chastity. This results in the 80/20 effect in Western culture. Where women are not expected to keep their chastity, and the loose dating culture is introduced, the 80/20 effect occurs.
      That is, 20,%.of males have sex with 80% of females. Statistical fact and it naturally occurs in cultures where dating is introduced.
      This begins in adolescence so that by the time high school graduation rolls around, the majority of females have engaged in sexual activity. A few males having sex with many females. This is why most men in Western Nations will never have sex with a virgin much less marry one. Statistically proven that women who are virgin upon marriage have the lowest divorce rate. The more sexual partners a woman has, the less likely she is to pair bond.

    I actually asked one of my Japanese coworker who is 34 now and I was surprised when he told me he is still a virgin.

    It's insightful but glorifying an inherit problem doesn't solve it, a lot of family bloodlines will end in about a decade or 2. Which is worst for Japan, and Jp isn't the only country going through it. Tho you'll some guys are "waiting" for the right girl but as time marches on you can't expect to match with someone with the similar needs.
    Social and sexual incompetence should not be praised, thanks for the vid Nobita

      most of us dont have options,in the us the percent of single men in their 20s are double the women,this is not a problem of individuals

      @@kst2154 I think it is a problem of individuals; each number is a person with wants, needs, impressionable minds, and motivations. Something or several things have happened that have caused this global shift.

      Why would their bloodlines die? They can get married and have children. If they are too young to get married right now, they just have to wait a few years.

      You know why? Because that cartoon or game doesn't start petty arguments. Doesn't bitch and moan about nonsense and doesn't fuck off as soon as something better comes along. Which is what WOMEN like to do most of the time. Makes me ashamed to share the same sex as women in this day an age.

    I don't find their (porn stars) excuse logical at all. It's like a cartel member saying "Oh, you see... There was already a demand of drugs, so we just produced some... It's not our responsibility that people die because of it..." This is what people who are guilty do in general, they try to excuse themselves for what they do with the "It already existed a little before us" type of argument. It is wrong.

      How many of those actors do you know personally? Talked to them? Many are doing this job because they want it and love to do it. If they are forced to do something they don´t want - agreed this is wrong.

      I hate the "it's my body my choice argument"
      If you start drilling a hole on your side of the boat, I'm gonna have to intervene before you sink the damn boat.
      Liberalism, being the idiotic ideology that it is, presumes that people live in a vacuum and their choices affect no one else.
      Yet we all know that's not true. I wonder if these same pornstars would be okay with the total legalization of all firearms and explosives.
      "It's my life my choice. So what if I fire this gun in the air?"
