. this..sounds like a job for ""Captain viagra"... brought to you by the makers of yes.. Captain America..
. and Wonder Woman cialis....lol.
. when no is just not an option..

Yup.
That's what happens when people insist on
including marriage and babies, with sex.

Who knows as to why. But they even have a lot of manga written about the topic. So its obviously a problem the people are putting some thought into. I find their culture to be very interesting and it would be a shame to have it go the way of the dodo.

Sorry to sound so "SciFi-ish", but a healthy society in any culture has to have a balance between well, there's no other way to describe it but "castes": workers/breeders, military, & the "elite" of the governing religious/political groups. When there comes to be too large a gap between those who work & reproduce in larger numbers and those who are supported by the workers & reproduce in fewer numbers...then the society slowly begins to collapse.

Think about ancient civilizations such as China/Egypt/Rome/Atzec - Maya -Inca. These were all based on a divide between the elite & the peasantry. When the #'s of "poor" became too large for the adequate distribution of resources (food/land for agriculture/water resources)then the elite began to feel the pressures too. Then it only took something like civil unrest on their borders, a plague, invasion from a new group of people (the Spanish conquistadors/the Huns/Ghenghis Khan's Mongolian hordes),or the beginnings of climate change in their geographical area; to take these societies over the tipping point & they collapsed.

Encouraging "reproduction" will always backfire since it's only a SELECT group that will be encouraged to make more of "their own". BTW, humans & our higher primate relatives are one of the species who's populations regularly out pace their food supplies. Even roaches will cease reproduction when starving. Doesn't say too much for us...

I wish more people would have this syndrome:

less disease, fewer unwanted and confused children, fewer confused adults seeking 'love' via sex, fewer confused adults basing 'love' on sex,


yeah,, sounds like the syndrome more all over the world should come down with,,,,
