A new study by Japan's National Institute of Population and Social Security Research revealed this week that almost one in four Japanese men aged between 30 to 34 remain virgins, prompting Playboy Weekly to predict an impending demographic crisis. Shin Watanabe, founder of Japan's Cherry Boy Association for virgins, said the situation is actually worse, with many male virgins too ashamed to admit their status. "There are 11 percent of people who gave an invalid answer to the survey and I bet you the vast majority of them would be virgins," Mr Watanabe told Playboy, "And though there is also 65 percent who said they have had sex, that also includes the guys whose only experience is a single session at the brothel and nothing since," he suggested. A similarly bleak picture of contemporary coupling emerged in the States this week, on housewife's portal Hitchedmag.com, which talked of the 'inevitable' moment when sex is replaced by 'your partner's snoring'. "Like most couples, if you've been together more than a year, chances are your sex life is starting to wither a little. The quick fix? Take the sex out of your bedroom," the website urged this week. "Believe it or not, toilets can be a fun sex-accessory" they advised, "Put the toilet seat down and have your husband sit while you straddle him, or sit in his lap facing away." In even bleaker sex news, British newspaper the Metro urged sexually adventurous readers to 'forget dogging – the new sex craze is 'furring', curiously adding ''Furring' is the new sex craze for perverts'. According to the paper, people dressed in animal costumes have started meeting up for random sex in woods near St Austell, Cornwall, with the trend set to spread across dogging locations throughout the land. 'We're a group of people who like things to do with animals," One furry 'known as 'Paddington' explained, "It's great to meet up with fellow furries and enjoy the great outdoors." - http://www.pageantfancydress.co.uk/php/display_costumes.php?Cat_ID=10 (Fur suits for hire, includes Dalmatians, Wombles, Long haired rabbits, Black Face Gorillas and more) - http://www.londonfurs.co.uk ('While it can often be a scary or intimidating prospect to attend your first furry event, take it from me, you'll have a great time and only the odd vampire deer or flame breathing dragon might bite . . .') - http://www.godhatesfurries.com/index.php?p=gallery ((anti) furries gallery)
