Comedian Hikaru Ohta’s wife admits sexless marriage

Mitsuyo Ohta, 45, the wife of comedian Hikaru Ohta, 44, and president of the agency representing the comedy duo “Bakusho Mondai,” laughs at the media attention she’s getting over her public statement about her “sexless” marriage.

Mitsuyo married Hikaru in 1990. The comedian and his partner were struggling in their career, and it was Mitsuyo who established the agency Titan in 1993. It is generally accepted that the comedians’ popularity skyrocketed owing to her tireless and often relentless efforts as president and head of sales.

In late August, Mistuyo was a guest speaker at a film preview on the theme of women’s life and love. One character was in a sexless marriage, about which Mitsuyo commented offhand, “Actually, we’re sexless too.” The tabloid media immediately went into overdrive.

Responding to Shukan Post’s interview, Mistuyo answered casually, “We’re both exhausted by the time we get home at night. My husband is energetic on screen, but he is completely wiped out at home. He may work through the night on occasion, so there’s no space for sex in that kind of life.”

She was pretty candid about admitting that she couldn’t remember the last time she was intimate with her comedian-husband. She had fertility treatments several years ago, which yielded no results. “In view of my age and the work load, I realize it’s difficult, but I haven’t completely given up. I guess my husband will have to try harder in more ways than one.”

One should remember the words of John Adams from the musical 1776:

"Mr. Jefferson, dear Mr. Jefferson I'm only 41; I still have my virility. And I can romp through Cupid's Grove with great agility. But life is more than sexual combustibility."

He wasn't a Founding Father for nuthin'.

LoveUSA. There are many examples of famous men with equally famous sexual exploits after 40. Noripinhead listed one. But there are many, many.

Your friend's solitary experience may say more about her sexuality or some individual than it does about the general condition of men over 40.

The key to sex over 40 is to keep it engaging and exciting. This can be done through romance, passion and the mutual understanding of a couple to wish to enjoy and have a happy sex life. Older men can be mature, nurturing, patent and experienced. Maybe your friend should expand her partnership to include someone who is interested in her sexually before making incorrect assumptions. Maybe this kind of thinking is part of why sexless marriages are so common here.

..work through the night on occasion, huh?

We know what that means.

Love dear, I'm 51 and I'd be more than happy to straighten things out for you.

I do wonder if sexless marriages mean that at least one spouse is going outside for theirs. There are a lot of funny things that keep a marriage together.

Thanks for your kindness. But you have not seen me. If you see me, your fire, enthusiasm and desire will be extinguished. Lol, keep to the Japanese ladies.

I think the man, not the woman loses interest. There are many options out there to help relieve himself. But couples should still try at least once a month or so. What about Saturday or Sunday? Of course, weekdays are too too difficult but a good Saturday afternoon lovefest works.

The one thing that confuses me is how the west claim to have so much sex in their marriage. Please tell me how you can get excited havcing sex with overweight people. How can you get interested in that? Is that love? If so, I am in big trouble because no amount of love can keep me interested in my overweight wife if there is a slim jwoman willing.

sad but true.

LoveUSA "true true, man after 40 just cannot perform anymore, that is why there are internet forums where they can release the testerone lfet from their youth"

Better check your facts. Better yet, check with my sig other. She's 26, I'm 60 and after 3 years it's never been better. There are good things about being a 20-year-old stud, but certain things get better with age.

For those of you thinking that Jwoman is the cause: They do get tired, and once the child comes into the scene the interest is even less. I am not sure if it has anything to do with spiritual things. I know that Indian women are said to lean more towards spiritual things and sometimes are advised by older women to refrain from intimacy as it is a shame when shildren are growing up. I thought that they were the Kamasutra experts. Anyway, this is all far too complicated for me.

Do agree with Dano about how the relationship depends on weight too.

Also, what I initially mentioned about 40 year old men is applicable to Jmen. I have Jcolleagues who talk about all this, and how many times a day etc..

I think sex is not only for the beautiful, young and fit and slim. it is human nature and there are people of any kind and shape and age, healthy, disabled, handicapped, everybody needs sex, so stop this discrimination against overweight people! As a matter of fact, I choose the men based on their IQ! However I wonder why only the low IQs are interested in me lol

yes, you may choose the man for IQ but men choose woman for many other reasons. don't be blind to it. A man may be in love with an overweight woman or a smart woman he can talk to. but he really wants to have sex with a slimmer one.
if my wife got fat i would divorce her. this would indicate that she did not respect my feelings. i am not fat for her and she has no excuse to get fat for me.

Despite the growing trend of these kind of relationship problems. I think there is a deeper issue at hand in this article. I can only say that 1 week without any any contact would be considered sexless to me. How in the world did she wait that long to define a problem.
