So. "I can't be arsed" (And really, who can?) in Japanese. Or, as we put it around here:Mendokusai translates loosely as "Too troublesome" or "I can't be bothered". It's the word I hear both sexes use most often when they talk about their relationship phobia. Romantic commitment seems to represent burden and drudgery, from the exorbitant costs of buying property in Japan to the uncertain expectations of a spouse and in-laws. And the centuries-old belief that the purpose of marriage is to produce children endures. Japan's Institute of Population and Social Security reports an astonishing 90% of young women believe that staying single is "preferable to what theyimagine marriage to be like".

I would like to point out that the ability to fuck and not make babies does exist.
And while there are those who consider doing so to be the ultimate sin of society I, personally, consider it to be the best of both worlds.
