Where's the rabu?

Here is a quick bit of disturbing information. Many marriages in Japan are sexless.

Really Evans?

Word.

What about all that kinky stuff we see in Japan, and all of the gorgeous women that make me feel tingly?

That is a great question to which I have no good answer to. This seems a bit surprising to me too, but a study was conducted and more than a third of the people asked did not have sex with their spouse for more than a year! That's like 3 million years in Evans time.

This is not to say that these couples are not having sex, they just aren't doing it with each other. In one of my first few weeks in Japan, some buddies and I wandered in to a place we thought was a maid cafe. It turns out, it was much more than that. This place offered a more 'expensive' service and gave you the option of paying extra to have the girl dress up in different costumes. After asking at the front desk what this place was, a large group of salarymen stumbled in and they were obviously hammered. Just so we were sure, we asked these drunk fools what this place did and they gave us the skinny, complete with hand gestures and sound effects (my favorite quote of the night had to be when they tried to explain it in english. "This is where they do the dicking." Freaking Priceless!)



Once we came out of shock that such a beautiful establishment exists, we started conversing with the salarymen. Turns out, most of them had wives...and kids. Go figure? These married men were just out enjoying a night with their coworkers and it didn't seem to phase them that they were about to pay hundreds of dollars for something they could get at home... Needless to say, that was the best team building exercise I had ever seen.
