Having sex may have jumped the shark, at least for younger adults in Japan. A new, detailed analysis of national fertility data finds that the proportion of adults in the country who have never had vaginal heterosexual intercourse is on the rise.
For women between the ages of 18 and 39, a total of 24.6 percent were virgins in 2015, up from 21.7 percent in 1992. Among men of the same age bracket, the percentage without sexual experience increased from 20 percent to 25.8 percent.
