Hey guys, i have just started watching this show and i have a question regarding the term 'Yousei (fairy)'.

As I already know, this show spoofs off the fact that Japan has a low birthrate.
But what does 'fairies' have in relations with this? I saw episode 1 of Joshiraku, and one of the girls mentioned 'Only fairies are allowed to be naked!' As well as other anime i have watched previously that use 'Yousei' in jokes and such.

Because this show makes everything cute and adorable, i find it difficult to decrypt all the cultural references. But going by the basis 'birthrate declines and then the the fairies appear'.

I'm guessing that 'yousei' is suppose to be a japanese slang term for prostitutes/wh*res/pornactress?

Any japanese culture expert can clarify me on this. As this has been bugging me quite a while now, thanks.
