Subject #1
Description: Approx. 35-year-old white male, in Denver on business. 5’10”, 180 lbs, white collar, probably college educated. Wife 35 years old, 5’4”, 130 lbs, pleasing plump, dark hair, Italian extraction, educated, 37-28-37.
Activity: Room #10 was rented to this couple at 7 p.m., by myself. He registered and I noticed he had class and would be a perfect subject to have the distinction of being #1. After registration, I immediately left for the observation walkway . . . It was tremendous seeing my first subjects, for the initial observation, enter the room. The subjects were represented to my vision, clearer than anticipated and it was great. I had a feeling of tremendous power and exhilaration at my accomplishment. I had accomplished what other men had only dreamed of doing and the thought of superiority and intelligence occupied my brain. A man has one life to live and with unrelenting determination and dedication, I was realizing my dream.
As I peered into the vent from my observation platform, I could see the entire motel room, and to my delight the bathroom was also viewable, together with the sink, commode, and bathtub. The view was excellent, more than I had anticipated. Viewed from the inside of the motel room, the 6”x14” vent was painted the same color as the room. Guests will probably picture it as a heat vent or foul air ejector. It appears perfectly natural in the setting that was created for it.
I could see the subjects below me, and without question they were a perfect couple to be the first to perform on the stage that was created especially for them, and many others to follow, and I would be the audience. After going to the bathroom with the door closed, she sat in front of the mirror looking at her hair and remarked she was getting grey. He was in an argumentative mood and appeared disagreeable with his assignment in Denver. The evening passed uneventful until 8:30 p.m., when she finally undressed revealing a beautiful body, slightly plump, but sexually attractive anyway. He appeared disinterested when she laid on the bed beside him, and he began smoking one cigarette after another and watching TV . . . Finally after kissing and fondling her, he quickly gained an erection and entered her in the male superior position, with little or no foreplay, and orgasmed in approximately 5 minutes. She had no orgasm and went to the bathroom to clean out the semen, immediately. They turned off the light and TV and retired for the evening without comment or conversation.
Conclusion: They are not a happy couple. He is too concerned about his position and doesn’t have time for her. He is very ignorant of sexual procedure and foreplay despite his college education.
This is a very undistinguished beginning for my observation laboratory . . . I’m certain things will improve.
Things did not improve for Gerald Foos with regard to the second couple, and he did not take much space in writing about them.

Subject #2
Description: Approx. 30-year-old black male, employment unknown, 6’, 185 lbs. Female companion, 30 yrs. old, 5’5”, 120 lbs, unknown employment.
Activity: Room #4 was rented to this black male and black female companion at 1 p.m. They entered the room and were discussing his attempt to get money from his friend but so far had been unsuccessful. The entire conversation was in regard to money, either that he had coming in from sources, or obtaining from other sources . . . He brought in a pint of cheap bourbon, of which they mixed with water and drank. For the next fifteen minutes they rolled all over the bed attempting to dislodge their clothing. No conversation was present during this time. After finally getting undressed, he pulled the sheet, blanket, and bedspread over them and covered completely up to their noses. He immediately entered her and after thrusting for several minutes, the covers came down past his buttocks, but he stopped and pulled them back up over his head. He had to remain covered. After orgasm, they never cleaned up. She never went to the bathroom and he began his talk about money. They dressed and left immediately at 3 p.m.
