“It’s strange for a career housewife to be providing her services for free” – under this reasoning one married couple have taken their relationship to a new level, a commercial one.
Each evening the husband finds a note in the kitchen, “Bento – Needed / Not Needed,” and if circling “needed” he must leave ¥400 on the table as payment for the morning’s bento (a bento generally costs ¥300-500 at a convenience store).
The husband, a 48-year-old salaryman, was told one day by his 42-year-old unemployed wife “It’s strange for a career housewife to be providing her services for free – from tomorrow the lunch bento will need to be paid for,” and they later formalised the arrangement with a contract. She did not however opt to charge their son for his bento.
The husband claims his marriage improved after the deal: “Now we spend more time together on weekends,” though he does concede he was embarrassed at first, when co-workers would say such things as “Ah, your lovely wife prepared that by hand for you didn’t she? How nice.”
She also apparently charges him ¥5,000 for the privilege of having sex with her.
However, the arrangement is not one of commercial equality – the wife actually controls the husband’s salary, a common arrangement in Japan, and generously lets him have ¥50,000 of his own salary as an allowance to spend freely, out of which he must pay her to make him his bento, and presumably cover his sexual expenses…
Business commentators describe this “B2B marriage” as “win-win.”

2ch responds thus:
“What, is his wife a prostitute?”
“Don’t marry!”
“If you’re going to do this the husband should be getting his own wages.”
“Doing this with an allowance is absolute madness…”
“Of course, he gets to control his salary, right? At least half, right?”
“The bento may be ok, but where sex is concerned, at ¥5,000 going to a brothel has better cost performance characteristics.”
“¥400? Our company cafeteria is cheaper…”
“At ¥5,000 I’d sooner go get a handjob in a booth somewhere for ¥3,000…”
“If mine came out with this, I’d throw her into the street.”
“Just why would you get married?”
“Is she actually paying for the ingredients herself?”
“What would a child think seeing these parents?”
“Divorce, now!”
“At least take into account market conditions!
16～19 30m ¥30,000
20～24 45m ¥20,000
25～29 60m ¥5,000
30～ **m ¥0”“Anal: ¥7,000.”

Shes 42 for the love of god, you can buy something alot younger than that for less. Men in japan need to grow a bloody backspine
Hey, I want to agree with all of you, since I am a guy. But their could be a lot that we don’t know. I would like to hear from women, if any, that come here about this subject.
Well for the sort that buy into the classic Christian wedding, withholding 'sex' is actually against Christian teachings. Sorry but to love honour and obey also includes sex.
Muslims I don't think suffer this problem as their women are essentially TOLD what they will and won't be doing.
Now for non Christian and Muslim types I am not so well versed.
But generally a marriage is a deal to be there equally for each other.
The money is not his or her money ,but THEIR money. Regardless of who makes it and or how much.
Bento $4 and Sex $50 is really just leaving the woman open to reprisals in kind (assuming the husband is a real man and not some salary generating wimp).
There's a lot of things women 'need" that I am sure they don't want to be left out in the cold over.
Shelter, Clothing, non negotiable feminine hygiene products, food supplies to even make bentos from, Transportation expenses, services in the home such as TV/phone/internet.
I can assure you if my wife billed me for the lunch I asked her to make, and put a fee on her intimate services life for her would become ENTIRELY sucktastic. Oh yah you can believe it. It would be almost like she was single again.
fucking whipped… *makes whipping sound accompanied by whipping gesture*
