First Shoot: Fifty-Something Wife Documentary — 弘田澄江

About this work

“When it comes to sex, the switch flips so much compared with my everyday self that it’s almost like a split personality (wry laugh),” says 弘田澄江, 52, a full‑time housewife. A mother of two, she is celebrating her 25th year of marriage this year. Her glamorous body exudes palpable sensuality and still feels very much in its prime, yet sex with her husband is currently only about once a week — surprisingly infrequent. “I’ve been feeling my husband’s vigor gradually decline. So I want to broaden my possibilities by gaining various experiences for when the time comes,” she explains. For 弘田澄江, who wants to enjoy sex until she’s ashes, there is growing anxiety about how long she’ll be able to have sex in the future. Behold the full scope of her potential: “If the chemistry is right, I could keep climaxing endlessly!”
