Good God. I guess they've exhausted all of the other niches like puking and crapping, lol. What was most interesting to me:

"In surveys conducted by organizations ranging from the World Health Organization (WHO) to the condom-maker Durex, Japan is repeatedly found to be one of the most sexless societies in the industrialized world. A WHO report released in March found that one in four married couples in Japan had not made love in the previous year, while 38% of couples in their 50s no longer have sex at all."

That is really, really bad. Intimacy is also about being close to your partner, so that to me shows a somewhat dysfunctional society. I think their suicide rate is further proof that something is not as it should be in Japan.
