“Why have young people in Japan stopped having sex?” And “what happens to a country when its young people stop having sex,” are questions asked by Abigail Haworth in her recent article published by The Guardian. Japanese-American author Roland Kelts is cited in Haworth’s article stating his belief that the Japanese example foreshadows a likely future for the rest of us. He suggests that the desire to flee intro virtuality emerges in overcrowded nations and urban centers like Tokyo. Japan has long been recognized as a global leader in the development of virtual realms. My outsourced Life. I really shouldn't have to write this article myself.
