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 and have also 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]
