There is no reduction in sex Bonobo Oct 2013 #3
In the youth there is. joshcryer Oct 2013 #7
Maybe, but not much I think. Bonobo Oct 2013 #13
I looked up the data. joshcryer Oct 2013 #18
I think you know -no, I KNOW you know -that surveys can be misleading. Bonobo Oct 2013 #19
But your source said there *were no* statistics. joshcryer Oct 2013 #24

For that matter, why are so many tentacled creatures interested in having sex Bonobo Oct 2013 #14
I wonder myself if yoai has an element to do with this. joshcryer Oct 2013 #15
Well, it does create a relatively non-exploitative form of porn that can be produced by both genders moriah Oct 2013 #16
suprising considering how pretty Japanese women are Niceguy1 Oct 2013 #12
Maybe the birth rate has to do with better access to birth control? moriah Oct 2013 #17
