 a sex demonstration with his wife, Suzi, 49, who was also convicted of prostitution.

The Wahls have been producing and distributing amateur adult videos through their mail-order company, Video Alternatives, for 14 years. Last year they decided to expand into the education business. "We put together a seminar," explains Tom. "It is a presentation of techniques couples can use to enhance and prolong pro·long

"We knew the politicians and police would take an interest in it," he says. "We didn't invite them to the party, but now that they are here and they want to act as our partners in publicity, we are glad to have them."
