Japanese weekly tabloid Shukan Post has done a mammoth public service in conducting a superb survey of Japanese women to find out their grooming habits. As in, their bush hair grooming habits!
Shukan Post ran an online survey asking 1,000 women about the nether regions. The ladies were aged from 20 to 69, so we have a range of generations here. The average age was 41.9 years so the majority were in their early thirties or forties -- the rather lovely jukujo (MILF) category.
As many of our readers will be aware, although the ladies of the adult industry are quite well trimmed, most ...
Durex, the condom brand, have an interest in things sexual.
This doesn't just mean marketing their prophylactic, it also means studying global sex habits.
From Durex's Sexual Wellbeing Survey (2007/2008) and Face of Global Sex (2012), they gained some insights into international bedroom tendencies among heterosexual couples.
The Japan results intrigued us...
The main conclusion is that apparently people in Japan are very unhappy with their sex lives.
Japan was the only country where more people said they were dissatisfied with their sex lives than satisfied.

At just under 18 years old.
At least, the national average is 17.7 years old for when women in Japan get their first kiss, according to a new survey by LC Love Cosmetic.
In April this year the researchers asked 2,350 women from all over Japan and compiled the results into a handy map.
The kinkiest ladies, the ones most keen to get started on their smooching careers, hail from Tokyo (#1) at 16.3 years old, chilly Akita (#2) in the north at 16.6 years old, and then warm but typhoon-struck Nagasaki (#3) in the south at 16.7 years old.
In these prefectures, first and second ...
Over December 6th and December 9th, Japanese Facebook dating app Match Alarm did an online survey of 2,944 male and female Japanese singles in their twenties and thirties.
It found some surprising results, most notably that 81.3% of Japanese single women would want an older man for a partner.
On the other hand, compounding the stereotype that all Japanese men want innocent maids and anime characters, the survey found that nearly 47% of men wanted a lover who was younger.
Things get more logical when broken down into age groups. Both men (51.2%) and women (over 90%!) prefer an ...
A long article in the Guardian has been published that purports to be sociological and serious, but is actually perpetuating the usual myths we read about our great country -- everyone is unhappy, everyone only works, no one has sex.
The sexes, especially in Japan's giant cities, are "spiralling away from each other". Lacking long-term shared goals, many are turning to what [a sex therapist] terms "Pot Noodle love" -- easy or instant gratification, in the form of casual sex, short-term trysts and the usual technological suspects: online porn, virtual-reality "girlfriends", anime cartoons. ...
We've looked at surveys before -- from men who never date to the best breasts, habits and the most-viewed Wikipedia pages.
Now Sagami, one of Japan's leading condom makers, has released the results of a big nationwide survey, Nippon no Sex, it did in January this year.
It surveyed 14,100 men and women online (plus 29,315 in a pre-survey), aged from their twenties to their sixties, and from all of Japan's forty-seven prefectures.
The results are a little alarming in places, such as that 40.6% of Japanese males are still virgins (as opposed to just 25.5% of women), and that the average ...
An online survey has found some surprising results about identification with otaku, proving that we have come so far since the days of Tsutomu Miyazaki.
137,734 people were asked, "Do you consider yourself somehow an otaku?"
Yes: 42.2%
No: 57.8%
That's a lot of supposed otaku!
Here's the breakdown per generation:
Teenagers: 62.0%
Twenties: 55.6%
Thirties: 46.4%
Forties: 44.8%
Fifties: 36.7%
Sixties: 26.9%
Seventies: 23.1%
Eighties: 23.3%
Of course, these days the definition of "otaku" is wider, and can apply to soccer fanatic or just about any passionate fans of ...
That's what the results of a survey would have us believe.
It surveyed 3,616 men and women aged 20 to 49 around Japan on the theme of marriage and children online in early February.
30% of men in both their twenties and thirties answered that they had never had sex or been in a relationship. The numbers of people dated increases for men in their thirties compared with respondents in their twenties, but the proportion of people who with no experience of romance among the unmarried remains the same.
On the other hand, girls in their twenties with no experience of a relationship is ...
A survey of Japanese Wikipedia pages has revealed that the most viewed are a list of JAV actresses and then the pages for AKB48 and then fellow idol band Momoiro Clover Z.
If ever we needed yet more prove that the Japanese take their porn seriously and spend all their time online getting horny, then here it is!
According to the survey data, the AV list got an amazing 18,569,543 views, dwarving its Akiba idol rivals with a mere 7,133,542.
That's the kind of internet we like to see. Porn and ...
A recent beauty survey in June of women in their thirties and forties looking for the place in Japan with the slinkiest waists. (Not sure why they didn't ask women in their twenties but let's not judge right away.)
Curiously the most slender apparently is Hyogo, the large large prefecture west of Osaka that includes Kobe, a long coastline (on both sides) and a bunch of mountains in the middle. Hmm, rather surprising but it must be the girls in Kobe.
Number two was Kanagawa, just outside Tokyo (includes Yokohama, Kawasaki, Kamakura), proving that perhaps to find the sexiest girls, you ...
