Craziest stat imo is that 80% of 18-19 year olds have 0 sexual experience. Here I was thinking that only constants in life were death, taxes, and horny teenagers, but the japanese have apparently broken teenagers.

You say that as if 18 year olds having sexual experience 1) is good and 2) is normal. I would contest both of those points from a perspective outside of contemporary Western values.

That's hardly a crazy stat, you're merely viewing it through a Western lens. In plenty of Asian cultures it is uncommon for people to have sexual experience before marriage.

  Not necessarily western, dating an American girl can be quite special. Not only meant negatively, but it is something else. Different focus, different interests,...

Inexperienced does not mean not horny.

  Sure, but it definitely means something is stopping them.

    It is extremely common in many parts of Asia not to have sex in your teens or even before marriage for variety of reasons

Who among them has the time? You're dealing with 12 hours of school every day, 2 hours on transit, and 8 hours of sleep, 6 days a week. I guess it gets better later on, since while you then have 14 hours of work, that's only 5 days a week, so you get another day off, and that's your relationship day (by Japanese society's revealed preferences). It's honestly a wonder that Japanese society even manages the 1.3 children per family it currently does.
