Russia Considers Ministry of Sex: For a country like India- which took over China to become the country with the largest population in the world this year itself- it might be hard to believe that there are nations that are facing the issue of ‘low population’. Yes, our desi brains may find this hard to ‘register’, but several countries are struggling with low birth rates- so much so that their governments are getting involved to sort the issue. Becoming the latest to switch to its ‘action mode’, Russia recently went viral after news of the Russian Government considering a ‘Ministry of Sex’ broke out on the internet. As per reports, Nina Ostanina, chairperson of the Russian Parliament's Committee on Family Protection, Paternity, Maternity, and Childhood, is working on a ‘plea demanding’ a ministry of sorts.

As soon as the news began to circulate on social media, one can only imagine the creative reactions that Indians were quick to give. From memes, jokes, and shock, netizens did not shy away from sharing their 2 cents.

Reportedly, Russian President Vladimir Putin's government also suggested ways to encourage people to engage in activities leading to an increased birth rate. From suggestions like pausing internet services at night to ‘light blackouts’ and from government-funded first dates to hotel vouchers for newly married couples, reports suggested several ways to boost intimacy that were advised by Putin's allies. Reportedly, the issue of low birth rate further skyrocketed after Russia attacked Ukraine, resulting in economic issues and ‘mass emigration’.

Coming back to the internet’s reactions, let’s take a brief look at what people are saying…

“Russia's got a new strategy to boost its population: a 'Ministry of Sex'! Date-night subsidies,hotel stays on the house,and even turning off the internet at night to...boost productivity? Seems like the government just found a whole new meaning to 'state-sponsored romance'!” added another.

“Ministry of sex has opened in Russia and it is first in any country in the world. Ministry orders to close Internet from 10pm to 3am. So that couples will have time for romance,” added another.
