#1 Please, do not share this information with Slick Willy. After all, he does like virgins tucked away on little island hideaways.

#2 Interesting addendum to the FGM article quote about 'weak Egyptian men'. I have also seen collaborative data regarding US 'millennials'. I wonder if it is a phenomena of the increasingly complex task of forming physical relationships, globally declining libidos or if the other half are banging like rabbits.

#4 Most popular plastic surgery for Japanese women

This should factor into the above self-reported information.

#5 Supposedly, it was rumored in mythology that only virgins could capture unicorns. Do you suppose that unicorns went the way of the Shakers?

#7 I don't think it's a sex problem, so much as a relationship problem. Commitment when you have apps where you literally shop for a one-night hookup, makes monogamy seem redundant in many people's minds. Add in the spread of contraceptives eliminating "Accident" children and you get a large population shrink.

Though I suppose it could also be life-expectancy increasing, and health overall, may play a part. We hear constantly about how close we are to defeating everything from old-age to impotency. Go figure Millennials aren't in a hurry to procreate.
