Being in an international marriage has its benefits and draw backs. The pros and cons of these arrangements are sometimes hard to decipher. One must carefully think of cultural differences as well as personality traits. An additional layer of complexity develops as both members of the marriage adjust to the other. Thus, the situation is usually relatively fluid, requiring constant adjustment and recalibration in real time.
These sequence of events occurred in 1986 in conjunction with a trip my wife and I were making to Japan. A bit of bit of background here is appropriate. I am an American married to Japanese woman. We had been married for 12 years. The first few years of marriage were spent in Japan. The onus of adjustment was largely in my lap. I learned enough of the language to be functional, enjoyed the food and indulged myself in the culture sufficiently to feel comfortable. We moved to the States largely because of a lack of opportunity for career advancement. I could only find work as a manual laborer and my wife in food service. The situation was stagnant, possibilities for improvement of income were limited. Being the progressive types we are, the move back to the States to allow for my education seemed like the right thing to do.
I was not surprised but amazed how quickly my wife adjusted to her new situation. More then one issue existed here. Even though my wife had taken 10 years of English classes in Japan, putting it into practice was a bit more cumbersome then she anticipated. Additionally, in Japan we lived in somewhat small village on the outskirts of Kyoto. We were now living on the north side of Chicago. The culture shock value was exponential. And like me, after a few years, she was comfortable. Life was good.
One of the highlights of an international marriage is the necessity to go back to the homeland on a regular and scheduled basis. For us, this ended up to be about every two years. We always stay with my wife's folks in the village; very picturesque, very serene. Depending on responsibilities and money, the length of these trips are variable. This was a whole summer trip whose purpose was to relax and just hang around the village. What happened is much more.
As per usual, there was a party to be held on our arrival. The turnout was great. Most of the family, a few neighbors and friends were all enjoying too much sushi and saki. This was my fourth visit to Japan. Parties such as this were common during our visits. A chance to catch up on news and events. I glanced around the room to acknowledge our guests. Smiles were intermixed with bows of the head and a quick wink of the eye. My wife was doing her usual, relating to all in a customary and yet newly acquired flamboyant manner. Living in America had taken its toll. I mostly sat, drank and ate. Sitting next to me was one of my wife's aunts by marriage. She was the wife of my mother-in-laws brother, a very nice guy who owns a successful trucking business. They lived right down the street and were a usual fixture at these events. I had sat at this table and got drunk with her many times in the past. I always enjoyed her company, great conversationalist and she really likes to dance. She is an attractive woman, just four years my senior, always dressed like she is still 20 years old, a bit too much make-up and always the best perfumes. In Japanese of course, I always call her "Auntie" and she calls me "Nephew" with a smile.
The party had started in the late afternoon. It was now mid-evening and the place was jumping. Even though everyone in the room knew this party would last late into the night, all were loaded to the max and yet ready for more, a classic village party. Auntie bent over to say something to me. She caught me looking down her low cut blouse at her braless tits. She asked me if I liked what I saw, as she bent over a little further. I was a bit embarrassed, did not answer and turned away blushing. She giggled as she poured me another drink. Knowing this party was just getting started and I would be expected to be present at the end to say goodnight to all, I decided to take a break from drinking and lay down for a bit. I slipped out of the party room and went to a bed room far down the hall. I had only been laying there a short time when I heard someone coming into the room. I looked up, in the dim light I thought it was my wife and said nothing. Almost immediately, my pants were pulled off and I was getting a blow job. After too much to drink and still jet-lagged I decided to just lay back and enjoy it. It didn't take long before I became cognizant that all was not according to Hoyle; the pace of her sucking was very rapid (my wife was always slow), she stuck her finger deep into my ass (my wife had never done this before), then the smell of good perfume hit me........Oh my God, Auntie is sucking my dick.
I felt like I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. I was enjoying the service immensely but felt very odd that it was being delivered by a relative. I wanted her to understand that I knew what was going on, so I called her "Auntie"? No vocal response was made but the intensity of her sucking picked up considerably. I laid back still puzzled on how to handle this situation. Breaking the lip lock to catch her breath, she was giving me an almost violent hand-job. The choice of what to do was made for me as I ejaculated. She quickly moved in to ensure every drop ended up in her mouth. She sucked me dry, swallowing it all, leaving not a trace of evidence. Without saying a word, she quickly got up and left the room. She waived to me as she closed the door. I felt guilty as I laid there trying to figure out what to do next. I had just been seduced. Was I culpable? I could of stopped her, I think. Considering the situation, I needed a plan to effectively manage this situation. I decided to return to the party after a short nap. I laid there for 20 minutes wide awake worrying, than got up.
I returned to the party with a feeling of trepidation. I quickly moved in and sat with the guys who were drinking and joking. After a few minutes, I was back in the swing of it. I frequently glanced at Auntie through out the rest of the evening. Each time she would lick her lips at me and smile. The night ended late with good- byes at the door. No hint of what occurred in the bedroom leaked out. The night had gone well.
I woke the next morning to a raging case of jet lag over laid with a hangover. I slept for 2 days. Once back in synch, I decided to dedicate the rest of this trip to its intended purpose, rest and relaxation, hanging around the village, sleeping in late very day. Life around me proceeded in a usual and customary manner. Part of this normal routine, Auntie dropped by 2 or 3 times a week to talk with my mother-in-law or my wife about village news. I conducted myself in an appropriate manner. Only once during this period did she hint of something special with a quick lick of the lips and smile as she walked out the door. Denial worked well here as I threw any promiscuous thoughts of Auntie out of my head.
I spent the majority of this trip walking through the local mountains, reading and writing, during the day. The evenings were spent in my in-laws house eating and drinking. The late summer holiday of Obon was rapidly approaching. For this holiday, the villagers gather in the village central plaza to participate in traditional dances and fireworks. The wife and I were trying on our kimonos in preparation for the event when Auntie dropped by. She complimented us on our stylish choices. As Auntie was making her way out the door, and the wife was distracted by something, she subtly whispered to me that underwear is optional under ones kimono on this occassion. On her return, the wife quarried what was wrong when she saw me blushing. I side stepped this but took the underwear comment into consideration.
