You Will Be a Woman From Here On Out
with English Subtitles

Read our exclusive interview with RADIX, the Japanese AV production company behind this release!

 

For ages and ages, cross-dressing was mainly associated with creepy old men turning tricks in alleyways in anonymous cities.  It was thought of as perverted and given the lack of proper exposure, that may have been justified.  Thankfully, we live in a much more open society thanks in part due to the internet.  People here in Japan are a bit more accepting of those who follow alternative lifestyles which has made it easier for those who truly feel otherwise about their natural-born gender to make amendments to it--temporary or permanent.

Nevertheless, there exist many more men than one would assume who do find pleasure--often sexual--from dressing as a woman.  The trend is actually so popular that 'makeup' or 'cross-dressing' is a popular extra offered at most Japanese brothels.  This type of service usually runs about 4,000 yen or so (about $40USD) and provided there's enough time, your selected 'companion' will give you a fantasy makeup makeover of your liking.

Want to look like a Kabuki actor?  She may be able to do that.  Want to look like a missing member of a Johnny's unit?  No problem.  Most men, however, want the other option--they want to become women even if it's just for a short time...and their companions are happy to oblige.

From their perspective, they're doing something a tad abnormal compared to their usual repertoire of sexual hand-tricks, but hey, they're getting paid and it's as soft and consensual as you can get so there's no need to pout and complain.

With that squared away, the arena of the real which YOU WILL BE A WOMAN FROM HERE ON OUT takes place is not as fictional as one would assume.  Many, many Japanese women have little to no qualms about making a guy look like a girl--makeup, clothing, and all.  There's also no harm in treating him as one while engaging in some acts considered...well, as they say in Japanese:  'hentai'--or 'perverted'.

YOU WILL BE A WOMAN FROM HERE ON OUT is a 125 minute production split into five scenes and produced by RADIX, one of our favorite Japanese AV production companies.  We classified it in our eventually-to-be-deprecated Cato 'Tekoki'--or 'Handjob' release given its light femdom theme with all scenes mainly focusing on sexual conclusions by means of hands and mouth.  Thus, we do apologize for those wanting to see full-on sex.  This title may not be for you.

What we loved about this release was how the scenarios weren't recycled.  Of course each man ends up dressing as a woman followed by receiving some sort of sexual gratification, but the reasons why and the journey to get there varied significantly.

There was the curious boyfriend in the first scene, followed by the Lurch-like lanky handyman in the next.  We saw a naive boytoy later on followed by a bored boyfriend just letting his girlfriend do whatever so he can read a book.  All ended up with fierce ejaculations brought about by a surprise interest in an orthodox new-found hobby of impromptu gender swapping.

Now, there isn't much we can put in the negative column--at least things that surfers and subscribers at ZENRA may dislike.  Of course the lack of actual intercourse may be a turn-off for some users.  This title also is a 'talkie'.  Dialog was thick, intense, and at-times almost never-ending.  With nearly 2,000 lines of subtitled conversation exchanges, this was a beast of a title to work on as these types of productions require much more time than normal to accurately lay down English captioning.

YOU WILL BE A WOMAN FROM HERE ON OUT also solves one of our own pet peeves about adult video:  the lack of makeup on actors.  If you watch any non-adult movie, 99% of the time the actors will have some type of makeup on.  That 'natural' look is actually far from it!  We'd love to see this emulated in Japanese AV as a very unpleasant male face making out (or eating out) his female coworker can frequently ruin a shot.  We hope you know what we're referring to as visual examples which thankfully do not happen in today's update are hard to stomach.

Cross-dressing is a perfect example of harmless sexual play that more men than one would assume take part in.  It's  great to see a bold title like YOU WILL BE A WOMAN FROM HERE ON OUT tackle this nascent gender-swapping theme in a way that brings positive light to the hobby rather than poking fun at it.
