papers were unable to do so and that differing viewpoints were there- fore not represented. Although I had to rasp this all over my laryngitis and had only a few minutes to do it in, the point got over. One famous Danish expert told me afterward, "I agreed with all you said, your only fault was that you were too polite." Other psychiatrists later commented rather unfavorably about the whole scheme of things at the conference as being something of a farce and not scientific.

I did get a chance to meet some important people however, particular- ly Jan Walinder of Sweden whom I spoke to and ventured that I thought the paper in which he reported abnormal temporal lobe brain. waves in transvestites was not very clear in deciding what a “trans- vestite" was. He conceded that it was true and that at the time he wrote it he didn't realize the differences that existed between TVs, TSs, and HSs.

Tuesday nite we went back to Copenhagen. Jan, having found that a group of conference members were going to take in a live sex show that night and thinking that I ought to see one, had arranged for me to go too. It cost $15 which was purported to be a special price. I guess it was worth it to say that I'd seen one, but frankly I found it awfully boring and wouldn't pay 15c to see one again. Not that it wasn't genuine there were a pair of girls who made lesbian love quite effectively with each other with a lot of cunnilingus, etc, the selection of some poor dope from the audience who was taken up on the platform and his pants taken off and masturbated by the girls; and finally a guy and a girl who "made it" both orally with each other and vaginally in about 10 different positions. But while sex is fun as a participant, so is eating a filet mignon, yet there isn't much to be gained by watching someone else have a nice dinner. It really seemed absurd for a whole bunch of well-dressed tourists (the Danes don't bother with these shows) sitting around in breathless anticipation of watching 2 other human beings carry out a perfectly natural act. I'm sure a lot of you will miss the point if I say that a good bowel movement can be pretty satisfying too and yet it would be pretty absurd to pay $15 to sit around waiting to watch someone come in and sit on a toilet and have one. It's not that I am a prude or that I thought the show immoral. On the contrary I'm so open in my feelings that that is what made it all seem so ridiculous a bunch of naughty children ditching school to see a peep show or to look at dirty postcards. It just wasn't mature and adult in my view and you can make what you want out of that.
