SEXUALITY

Which does not relate to other and less sex

Examples:• Hikikomori

Then there are those who prefer porn to sex

Examples:• "Hentai"

There are two positions:

YOUNG SOCIETYJapanese are mired in sadness and loneliness, because the pace of life and the demands that are way too.Expressions: Suicides “Hikikomori”:Youth between 13 and 30,

which are isolated. “Soshokukei”:They are concerned about

aesthetics and do not want sex or romantic relationships

In this work we concluded that, the life of young people in Japan was not what we imagined, we thought that having all the technological resources, having a good economic development at the country level, had a somewhat better life to ours .But we found that most young people live stressed, overwhelmed by the crowd, by overcrowding the place where they are. We realized that most of them live in the darkness, darkness of affection and love where crying out is used to get support from someone.

CONCLUSION

Many of these are seeking expression in different ways, that is why there is great diversity of styles.Studies which have revealed for young people in Japan "adolescence" is a synonymous of crisis.This is the reason why we are thanked of our youth in this country, although it is not perfect, we believe that compared to Japanese lifestyle, problems and habits ... we're fine.
