Dec 26, 2008 AFP -- TOKYO - THERE are many theories on the links between food and sex, but Japanese researchers have came up with a new finding - young people who skip breakfast tend to lose their virginity earlier.

In a study of 3,000 people, those who did not regularly eat breakfast when in their early teens said they lost their virginity at an average age of 17.5, versus an overall average of age 19 for all Japanese.

For those who had a morning meal when they were younger, the average age of having the first sexual experience was 19.4.

The study, backed by Japan's health ministry, was aimed at finding ways to curb unwanted pregnancies. It concluded that a stable home life discouraged early sex.

'Those unhappy with their parents - such as for not preparing breakfast - may tend to find a way to release their frustration by having sex,' said Kunio Kitamura, head of the Japan Family Planning Association who led the research.

'If children don't feel comfortable in their family environment, they tend to go out,' he told AFP.

Additionally, young people who start having sex early tend to miss breakfast because they return home late, he said.

Japan has one of the world's lowest birthrates as more young people put off starting families, finding them a burden on their careers or lifestyles.

The survey also found that nearly 40 per cent of married couples had not had sex in more than a month.

Respondents said they were too tired because of work or found sex to be a pain, according to the study. -- AFP -- Unquote --

I can remember what my father told me 40 years ago:- " Families that prepare breakfast for their children are one who sleep earlier and wake up early for the day. This is considered as a good family. " He said, we need to prepare breakfast always for our kids so that they have a good day. It is considered as a family upholding discipline, high morale and ethics.

We need to communicate with our family members to know their problems, issues and challenges. We need to get connected with our kids. Failure to connect will result in societial problems.

Do you want to have a good family, well discipline ? then please connect with all the members in your family. Let us have a balance between friends, work, social life and family.

A lot of them were successful at their work place, but failed in relationships at home. We need to have a balance between social life, work and family so that our relationship is unique in our life. Unbalanced life will lead to stress, pain, and mental torture.

Wishing you the best.
