No, Japanese People Haven’t Given Up on S　ex by Joshua Keating http://j.mp/1aGbLxF @slateさんから 文化的ステレオタイプに基づいているとガーディアンの記事を批判

The Japanese singledom trend story isn’t exactly a new phenomenon, but I suspect Howarth’s article took off because its descriptions of dominatrixes-turned-sex coaches and the thirtysomething guy who “can't get sexually aroused unless he watches female robots on a game similar to Power Rangers” fit nicely into the weird-Japan news genre. I suspect some cultural stereotypes are also at work here. A number of Eastern European countries have lower fertility rates than Japan, but we don’t often see articles portraying Czechs and Poles as sexless nerds.

でしょうね。

So could a collective bias against singlehood be warping the way we see celibacy syndrome? Is it really a syndrome, or just an alternate (convenient, culturally exigent) mode of being?

　するどい問題意識ですね。

　それと、メディアにおいて、人間はみな、セックスに関心をもつべき、夫婦はセックスすべき　そうでない人たちは異常だ、な的な、、性生活のありかたに関する間接的な統制、がありはしないか、とも思う。

　因みに、２ＤセックスってのはＮＹＴが報道したんですよ。今回はガーディアン。そして、"No Sex Please, Japanese are Nerds　"ＢＢＣ


　いわゆる英語圏のリベラルメディアがこの日本人wacky　伝説ともいうべき、固定観念、偏見を助長している点にもにも注目しておきましょう。
