First Shoot: Fifty‑something Wife Documentary — 堀美也子

About this work

"Precisely because of times like these, you need endurance. Being healthy is the most important thing (laughs)." 堀美也子, 53, a full‑time housewife. She lives in a three‑person household with her husband of 25 years and their son, who is in his first year as a working adult. "Since our son left home for work, I've had more time for hobbies and I'm enjoying every day." Bright and energetic, Miyako's hobby is running. As an experienced recreational runner, she has taken part in many marathons at home and abroad and is very confident in her fitness and stamina. Over the years the vitality gap between her and her more indoor‑oriented husband has grown, and that has affected the frequency of their sex. "At most it's about once a week, but honestly that's nowhere near enough." Today she'll fully unleash that surplus sexual energy!
