Some readers' responses to Debito Arudou's Sept. 6 Just Be Cause column, " 'Sexlessness' wrecks marriages, threatens nation's future":

The real issue that the article makes regards "sexlessness" itself, not its effect on marriage.

If Japanese are the least sexual group amongst 41 different countries, that is a real threat to Japan's public health. Loss of sexuality is often accompanied by depression and a general decline in well-being.
