Celibacy syndrome

Celibacy syndrome (Japanese: セックスしない症候群, sekkusu shinai shōkōgun) is a media hypothesis proposing that a growing number of Japanese adults have lost interest in sexual activity or don't desire sex, in contrast to the innumerable of young Japanese who are considered asexual, sexually abstinent, including to numerous of others who abominate or look down upon the context of sexual activities generally. In addition, many have lost interest in romantic love, dating and marriage.^[1] Following a report in The Guardian, the theory gained widespread attention in English media outlets in 2013,^[2] and was subsequently refuted by several journalists and bloggers.^[3][4][5]
