23-year-old she currently works at a department store's gift shop. Born in Yamanashi Prefecture and raised there until graduating high school, she moved to Tokyo for two years to attend vocational school. After graduation, she returned home and found employment. A few months later, at a school reunion, she met a man she'd barely spoken to before. Sharing similar life experiences, they grew close and eventually married. After marriage, her sexual activity with her husband increased. Initially drawn to practical factors like financial stability and appearance, over time she gradually awakened to love, pleasure, and sexual desire through her relationship with him. In the second year of marriage, during one spring, she engaged in her first physical affair with a man other than her husband. The man was a coworker—married himself about two years prior. He had been comforting her during her struggles in her marriage. She was attracted to his reliability at work and his gentle demeanor. When she invited him out to dinner, he accepted. Their bond deepened, and they ended up in a love hotel, embracing passionately. Unlike sex with her husband, their encounters were intense—both tender and rough—and she was completely captivated by the pleasure. Though she felt no guilt toward her husband, the sexual satisfaction and excitement fulfilled her emotionally. However, the affair lasted only about half a year. She now says her relationship with her husband is going well.
