"One contributing problem is stigmatizing normal male sexuality to the point men have to completely repress themselves to fit in."
I bet you didn't know 70% of marriages in japan used to be arranged marriages. Now much less than 10% are.
Really demonstrates how "normal male sexuality" is culturally bound, not whatever you are picturing.
- cat_plus_plus 4y agoYes, in societies invested in arranged marriage disrupting that system rapidly is going to have a huge detrimental effect. Just like dismantling long standing etiquette of courting and flirting in Western society has a huge detrimental effect. None of this implies that anyone should be forced into anything by suitors or parents or that Westerners can't have arranged marriages / Japanese can't flirt. But cultures and institutions don't just spring up overnight so we have to protect ones that have been working.
