31st January 1928, in the sitting room of 54 rue du Chateau.
man ray: can breton be interested in two women at the same time?
andre breton: i've already said that it is impossible. and man ray?
man ray: yes, but not more than two.
raymond queneau: what is your first sexual memory?
benjamin peret: at school, when i was seven or eight, i saw a little boy cover his sex with ink and masturbate under the desk.
breton: also at school. a child displaying his sex and referring to by a word then unknown to me: 'my ....' that same evening i told the story to my parents.
marcel duhamel: still at school. a little boy suddenly placed my hand on his fly. it left me with a very pleasant memory.
jacques baron: pupils masturbating under their portfolios.
duhamel: i also recall the powerful emotional effect of seeing a man and woman kissing.
man ray: i'd passed puberty. an older friend, who must have been sixteen, told me how people make love. i was curious to try it and persuaded a little girl of ten to help by promising to give her a picture book if she would show me her sex. i then tried to penetrate her; she complained that i was hurting her. afraid of being on my own i had brought along my brother, who was nine, and i persuaded him to try. he succeeded and she clasped him in her arms, saying to me: "i like your brother better, he doesn't hurt me so much."
