because I didn't get her.

Is she the one who slept

with the barber later on?

That's her!

Why was she unfaithful?

After Willy had told her I'd been to

Hildesheim she no longer wanted me.

- Was it nice with a girl?

- It was great.

- You enjoyed it?

- Yes. We smooched like crazy.

Did you ever have another girl?

Nobody wanted me!

Frau Birnrnstiel used to grab me down

there, so I hit her. She reported me!

The police told her,

"You can't do that!"

She was 65!

When did you first shag a boy?

When did I...?

- You mean at school?

- No, you told me about that.

I...

- Fraenkel!

- Fraenkel?

Out of the blue this guy starts

talking to me!

Student type, with glasses, about 40.

He said, "You can come along. "

He had a nice apartment

and I should come up.

I didn't want to at first.

But it was getting dark, so I went with

him after all. He made coffee,

hugged me and kissed me all over.

- With his tongue?

- The works!

I said, "Men don't kiss each other!"

And he said,

"I want a handsome boyfriend!"

So I often spent the night there.

Did somebody just knock?

He did it to me.

It was my turn, but I didn't!

Then he wanted me from behind...

...and I sh*t in the bed!

Did he stick his member in your anus?

I got scared and went home!

How old were you?

About 25 or 20. Then one day

there was a knock on the door.

My sister:
"Fritz, a gentleman!"

But he was already inside!

I said, "Man, how did you get here?

Man, you can't do that!"

He said, "You promised to come back,

but you didn't!" Then he left.

- So my sister wouldn't be suspicious.

- Was she?

Listen. So he's gone, right?

He had a good suit.

My sister said, "Who on earth was that?

He looks so weird!

Don't ever let him in again!"

He taught me how to jerk off.

Did you sleep with other men?

He told me the boys

hung out at Kropke's,

the theatre or the station

when it rains.

What's nicer:

with a boy or with a girl?

When I still had my fiance,

that was nicer. Yes, that was nice.

And later?

Later it was nice too.

If the boys were pretty.

What makes a boy pretty?

You can see that right away!

Well built, a pretty face...

Beautiful eyes...

Could he wear glasses?

No, no. I didn't take them then.

A beard?

Can't stand that!

Large member?

That wasn't necessary, as long as he

was tender and kissed nice.

Did the boys know what to do?

Of course they did, they're joy-boys!

What did you pay them?

They were glad they had a place to

spend the night.

When did you suck for the first time?

Fraenkel did it to me the first time.

I didn't know about it up to then.

Did you like it?

I thought he was going to bite me,

but he didn't. It was nice.

That's all disgusting!

No, it's nice.

- He's being corrupted.

- Is it decent?

- They all do it.

- I don't.

No?

I thought everybody did.

- Is homosexual intercourse allowed?

- Yes!

My sister took me to the police.

She wouldn't have it.

They said, "With kids it's punishable,

with grown-ups it's OK."

What section?

- There's no section on that.

- You said so.

- 175? That's "from behind".

- It covers sucking too.

Really?

No...

Only from behind.

- Which acts are not allowed?

- From behind.

- What's it called?

- Back-door work.

- Why is it not allowed?

- If you shove too hard...

Why do the police forbid it?

They won't have it.

The Good Lord won't have it either.

- He won't have it!

- Isn't that in the Bible?

- In "Romans 10".

- What does it say?

Men shouldn't seek satisfaction

in unnatural ways. And things.

Or women! The Good Lord

doesn't want us to, so I didn't.

Isn't buggery unnatural?

What else can you do?

I said I've got this headache!

I've got to have one. I can't go on!

I'll get really sick!

I can't give you a boy!

- Then chop my head off!

- He'd be dead!

I wouldn't do that.

You could keep an eye on me.

Don't lock the door. You'll hear us.

There are handsome students here.

From India. With beautiful eyes.

Attendant Schweimler told me.

He saw them here.

Do you know that

homosexuals are despised?

Never! I told my sister

I can't do it with girls anymore!

It doesn't work!

Did you try again?

I went to a brothel. In Brunswick.

She played with me there.

And I got a little hard.

But that was it.

I gave them money and left.

It didn't work!

- You were ill once?

- No.

You told us so.

Right! When the revolution was on!

My sister said, "Fritz, what's wrong?

You look terrible. Go see a doctor!"

So I went. He said,

"Well, that's gonorrhea

if ever there was!"

And gave me some tea.

One of the fairies told me the tea was

junk and told me to jerk off more.

That hurt!

Then some blood came.

And after 3 weeks it was gone.

The fairies called it the

"kill or cure" method.

And the next morning they were dead.

How can you laugh about that?

Don't get angry.

- No one can bite someone to death.

- They were dead.

You used to say you strangled them!

They all say...

I squeezed them like this.

- So it must be true.

- Didn't the boys fight back?

As I said, one of them scratched me!

Maybe one of them cried, "Fritz!"

But maybe I dreamed it.

- You must be very skilled!

- Well, if you bite right here...

- They couldn't talk, they were dead.

- I don't believe it.

No? When I woke up in the morning

I could see my teeth marks right here!

I should know best what happened!

Were you aroused when you bit them?

I didn't want to bite them.

We talked and sucked a little.

Then all of a sudden it happened.

Next morning they'd be lying there.

- Weren't you afraid?

- I was! Sometimes I cried.

When they were beautiful.

Were they cold?

Yes.

One was crooked. I couldn't

straighten him up. He'd turned blue.

- Why was that?

- Don't know.

I woke up and he was dead.

I turned over real quick.

When I woke up again

he was lying there all crooked.

I got out of bed and laid him on the floor.

He'd turned all blue.

I felt sick and went to bed again.

What did you do then?

Well, I got up...

...and had some coffee.

- Was it good?

- I made it myself!

Good coffee. Tastes good.

Even after a boy had died?

I put a blanket over him.

Put it over him.

The boy didn't move again?

No.

Well, the ones that went home again,

they had some coffee.

What did you do with the corpses?

I cut their bodies open with a knife.

I cut them wide open.

What happened then?

- Everything came out!

- And then?

Well, I cut this off here.

Took out the bowels.

- And threw them in a bucket.

- And then?

- Dumped them in the toilet.

- It didn't get clogged up?

- I cut them up!

- With what?

- With a knife.

- What sort of knife?

- The kind you use to peel potatoes!

- You cut up the bowels too?

Yes, in small pieces.

It's all rumpled up.

I cut them up and threw them away.

When I get another one I'll show you

how I do it. It's so simple.

Is it easy to cut open the chest?

Listen.

It's really easy.

Just let the knife slide through.

Then I opened it up.

- The heart's inside.
