The Sex Diaries of John Maynard Keynes
I think your heterosexuality is getting in the way of your analysis. Two men would rarely, and certainly not very often, stop at a “cop”. Once we get copping, we usually proceed to something more satisfying. I suspect that “c” refers to cock(-sucking) and “a” to ass(-well-you-know). As for “w”, it probably does meaning wanking but not as you interpreted it. I bet he meant that he w’ed the other guy or vice-versa, that the encounter did not go beyond that to “c” or “a”. Especially given the times and the anonymous nature of some of the tabulated encounters, it’s strikes me as quite likely that in a minority of them, conditions did not allow for anything more complicated than a good ol’ mutual “w”.
