First-Time Filming: Fifty-Something Wife Documentary — 大川祥恵

About this work

“Now that the kids are grown, I guess I finally have the space to look back on my life… and I thought I didn’t want to stay like this.” 大川祥恵, 52, full-time housewife. Four-person family: eldest son (23), eldest daughter (21), husband (56). Shy since her student days—she couldn’t even hold hands with someone she liked—she remained a virgin and, without having experienced dating, married the man her parents introduced through an arranged meeting. “My husband is as earnest as I am, so in that sense being with him wasn’t unpleasant.” They still have sex about once a week, but she rarely initiates. “It’s not that being with my husband is unpleasant. It’s just not especially pleasurable… I’ve long had the suspicion that somewhere in the world there must be sex that feels much better (laughs).” Now, enjoy her first sex with another man’s penis — the second partner for this late-blooming Mrs.!
