Japan can expect to see a widespread increase in volunteer sex services throughout 2007, according to an expert quoted in Asahi Geino (1/18).

Tetsuma Yamada, the managing editor of lowbrow newspaper Naitai Sports and head of the Japan Adult Entertainment Industry Writers Association, says that society is poised to accept businesses providing "social security sex services."

"Japan's Baby Boomers are going to start retiring en masse from this year and divorces among elderly couples are also expected to skyrocket. There are going to be a lot of lonely old people out there and I can see lots of companies willing to provide them with help from young women, not just to get them off, but also to help with their housework, laundry and just for companionship. These adult businesses will effectively be part of the care industry," the hack tells Asahi Geino. "I know of several sex businesses that are already planning to go expand into providing care for the elderly."
