1 in 17 Shibuya Teens Have Contracted STDs
Interesting results from a survey conducted on teens in Tokyo’s Shibuya area:
The survey was conducted on high school students and teenage high school graduates. Sixty-eight percent of the respondents had experienced sex before, and 5.8 percent had contracted a sexually transmitted disease in the past, the survey showed.
The average number of sex partners in total was 5.2, but restricted to those who had contracted a sexually transmitted disease in the past, the average was 37, more than seven times higher.
Over 80 percent of respondents said they could explain what a sexually transmitted disease was, but only about 20 percent had correct knowledge on STDs, such as the fact that it was 10 times easier to contract a sexually transmitted disease than to have an unwanted pregnancy, or that chlamydia, when left untreated, could result in women not being able to have children. More than half of the respondents did not know that AIDS was spreading among young people.

That is really too bad. I am sure the popularity of magazines such as EGG, which is written by 30-40 something Japanese men, had nothing to do with this situation either. Lets not even get started talking about 援助交際.

Hurray for modern ideals! Sex is great! Let’s just do it with everyone we can! Babies and diseases be damned because everyone knows even condoms protect me 100%, 100% of the time. (That’s 200%!)
Wait. What’s that you say? It might *not* be a good idea? Hmmm… I don’t believe you.

I think you’re assuming the majority of Japanese people use condoms (or any form of birth control besides pulling out), which I don’t believe is the case.

The average number of sex partners for those who have contracted STD’s was 37!!! And they are still teenagers.
The other issue is that it is probably more correct as those who have been diagnosed with an STD as some of those interviewed may have STDs and not know it.

37? Wow. That’s really messed up. Is this what they do to pass time in Japan these days?

Holy itchy genitalia Batman! 37!! And here I foolishly thought J-teens were just reading manga and vegetating in shopping malls all the time. Where do they get the time.. and energy? We need more research on this subject!
