Japanese women having sex younger

Sixty-two percent of female university students have had sex, up 10 percentage points from six years ago to reach the same percentage as their male peers, according to a nationwide survey released Saturday.

The survey, taken by the Japanese Association for Sex Education, found the experience gap between females and males among high school students is also shrinking.

The Tokyo-based association carries out this kind of survey about every six years to investigate sexual behavior of young people.
