The phenomenon of sexlessness in intimate relationships has gained increasing attention in popular culture. However, few scholarly investigations exist in examining this striking trend in Japan. This book presents an analysis of the socio-structural elements within both academic and public discourses in Japanese culture relating to sexlessness in intimate relationships. Drawing from original interview research, the author provides insights into individuals experiences and investigates the connection between sexual inactivity, sexuality and Japanese couples satisfaction and well-being in their relationships. The book discusses how work environment, childbirth, infertility treatments, as well as past sexual experiences, extramarital affairs, and both unmarried and married couple relationships influence individual sexual behavior and consciousness. A broad overview of the meaning of sexuality through a cultural comparison with discourses on sexuality and interview results in Germany and Austria is also provided. To this end, the book calls into question whether sexlessness is a unique Japanese phenomenon or whether parallels and similarities might also be found in Western societies. Bringing together academic and public discourses on sexless couples, this book engages a rethinking of the meaning of sexuality, love, intimacy and relationships, both in and outside of Japan. It is of interest to students and scholars of Japanese studies, gender, sexology and sociology. 001445659 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001445659 650_0 $$aSex$$xSocial aspects$$zJapan. 001445659 650_0 $$aSexual abstinence$$zJapan. 001445659 650_0 $$aIntimacy (Psychology) 001445659 650_0 $$aSex$$vCross-cultural studies. 001445659 650_0 $$aSociology. 001445659 650_0 $$aSex. 001445659 650_6 $$aSexualité$$xAspect social$$zJapon. 001445659 650_6 $$aContinence$$zJapon. 001445659 650_6 $$aIntimité. 001445659 650_6 $$aSexualité$$vÉtudes transculturelles. 001445659 650_6 $$aSociologie. 001445659 650_6 $$aSexualité. 001445659 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001445659 655_7 $$aCross-cultural studies.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01423769 001445659 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aPACHER, ALICE.$$t(NO) SEX IN JAPAN.$$d[Place of publication not identified] : SPRINGER VERLAG, SINGAPOR, 2022$$z9811684634$$w(OCoLC)1284287324 001445659 852__ $$bebk 001445659 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-16-8464-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001445659 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1445659$$pGLOBAL_SET 001445659 980__ $$aBIB 001445659 980__ $$aEBOOK 001445659 982__ $$aEbook 001445659 983__ $$aOnline 001445659 994__ $$a92$$bISE
