Your Daily WTF: Japan Injects Its PE With Some Sexy
Posted by Ross Rosenberg
I’ll be honest, I’m not sure what I think about the veracity of this story but the above photo, while slightly disturbing, sent me into an uncontrollable laughing seizure. It seems that someone in the Japanese Department of Education came up with an idea to combat their country’s declining birth rate by instituting “position training” in Physical Education classes starting in second grade. The time used for this training will be diverted from “ceremony and bowing practice” lessons.
If this is indeed true the Japanese must be applauded for, at the very least, giving an honest and accurate portrayal of the sexual act. They pull no punches, as can clearly be seen in the photo; the young boy, eager and enthusiastic, his partner limply feigning enthusiasm and enjoyment in return while trying not to laugh in his face.

I don’t know if that is true or not, but I can definitely see a bureaucrat at a meeting carefully explain that people are not having enough children because the government never taught them how to make them. You’d think they could solve this problem like Norway, farm off the top 10% after high school.

OF course, you can also see the child in the back. Who appears to be failing at an attempt to preform my traditional sexual position, on your side Arms curled, knees to chest, rocking gently and sobbing.

Well what else are you supposed to do with sexy kids? NOT have them fornicate?

…and now they’ll be bored of sex even sooner in life!
This follows closely in line with having to read good books at school — kids tend to hate those books just because they’re forced to read them. If they re-read them at their own leisure later, they notice how great the book actually is.
As for declining birth rate: I’m 100% sure it’s caused by anime. Just look at the girls/women in there — they’re generally tall and have big boobs. Then look at real Japanese women — they’re short and flat-chested. Who’d want to turn back to reality??

I have no idea if that is real or just a joke—that says something about Japan now doesn’t it?
Japan has to change quite a bit more to fix their population than just telling kids that a penis goes in a vagina to make a baby. Their entire sexual culture is way more devious than other countries but it is also kept more secretive and underground. That is not a healthy way to express sexuality. It says something to the amount of sexual molestation and rape that goes on in public to random people. Didn’t Japan get the whole ‘good touch, bad touch’ speech I got in primary school?

Apparently the Whale Meat student lunch program is not enough of an aphrodisiac.

That’s got to be bogus. It would help if any of the sites had a link to a more legitimate source.

I applaud their dropping birth rates. Population growth cannot continue forever.

@Evil Jim: Tell that to China.
I don’t know if this is necessarily caused by the whole ‘kinky underground sex’ thing so much as it has to do with the social ideals that couples in Japan have. From what I understand, a husband and wife do, in some instances, think of themselves as brother and sister. There’s actually an (almost) alarming number of new houses being built in Japan that have two master bedrooms, ’cause people just don’t sleep together. No sexy time = no babies (duh).
There’s a lot more going on here than a few soaplands and hentai.

I’m with Evil Jim on this one. We’re an overcrowded species as it is. Fewer births seems like a much more humane way of dealing with that problem than more deaths. Japan should teach some of its birth-control sorcery to the rest of the world for a couple decades.

It’s not so much overcrowding as it is in a few more generations there will be no pure-blood Japanese people! Like, at all.
