I mean, even in the study the language is well and truly fucked. They might not be "sexually inexperienced" they might just be fucking people in a way you didn't measurepic.twitter.com/6HGd7XkGax

You can't just design a study that completely ignores any sexual diversity and then claim that this represents a worrying trend that's ridiculous

Also, I can't get over this press release THE STUDY DIDN'T MEASURE VIRGINITY BY ANY MODERN DEFINITION OF THE TERM IT JUST LOOKED AT PENIS-VAGINA INTERCOURSEpic.twitter.com/R09JSRrINf

I get that you're worried that "heterosexual inexperience is increasing" but maybe all the gays are fine with having less heterosexual sex maybe you could ask them in your giant survey

It gets even worse. The study defined people as "experienced" in heterosexual sex if they either a) were married (no same-sex marriage in Japan) or b) were single but said they'd had penis-vagina intercourse

So if you look at the total figure there's an increase in heterosexual inexperience. More people who've never banged a person of the opposite genderpic.twitter.com/Eqdg8FYeTl

But if you look at only the unmarried group (green line) - the people who are unmarried and saying they'd never done the dirty - it appears that the prevalence of inexperience is going down in women and staying stable in men That's the opposite of the total (red line) figurepic.twitter.com/rAwQ329IdT

Here it's worth remembering that this is a self-reported survey - people answering questions on a sheet of paper There are a lot of potential biases here

There's usually limited societal issues with reporting that you are/are not married BUT if you AREN'T married there's definitely some stigma associated with having/not having sex

The fact that there are two different ways of categorizing "heterosexual experience", and that these are likely to have different social connotations and therefore biases, means that there may not be much of an effect at all anyway

Basically, it might just be that 1) people lie about having/not having sex 2) people don't lie as much about being/not being married 3) less people are getting married 4) the reported trend in inexperience is because of this discrepancy

Also, the study completely ignored asexuality, could be simply that more people are comfortable reporting not having/wanting to have sex in 2016 than in 1992
