Seamen ahoy - Darwin women can't keep up as US Navy officers arrive
Northern Territory News ^ | 29th June 2010 | Alyssa Betts

DARWIN'S prostitutes and local ladies have been busy trying to keep pace with the swell of cute, horny US seamen on our shores.

But they must be more than capable because at least one chemist is reporting low condom stocks and a number of Navy blokes asking about Viagra.

USS Peleliu and USS Pearl Harbor have docked at Fort Hill Wharf and unleashed hundreds of young, well-cut and hot-to-trot sailors.

Ship rules mean no sex on board - beyond what's on offer in a magazine. Michelle Love, who operates Blondies in Darwin, said her 30 girls had been kept busy servicing the Yankees. But she said the increase in US clients had been offset by a temporary slide of local customers - suspected of either being jealous or considerate.

"Most of the local boys don't even call when the boats are in town. They probably think the girls are busy and worn out or they may get their noses out of joint," she said.

Ms Love said the US boys were never any problems - "they treat the girls like gold".

She said the only possible issue was competition from the amateurs.

"Every horny woman comes out of the woodwork," she said. "But there's enough to go around."

Taxi drivers are also enjoying a business boom. They've reported dropping off lusty groups at hotels who use rooms for short periods.

A Darwin driver delivered two ladies for a rendezvous with Navy sorts yesterday.

"One told me, 'Oh honey, I might call you later to pick me up again - I got a couple of jobs'," the driver said. "She said she can make up to $4000 a day because she's so busy."

A chemist assistant in Darwin's CBD reported a spike in condom sales yesterday.

Somewhere at Treasury, someone is working up a proposal that if we bring all the boys home for liberty, we’ll boost the economy big time. Talk about a stimulus!

Since the first army and navy was formed, this has been going on. Or so I ‘ve heard, never having been myself. [snicker]

Someone should explain to the author that Navy officers and sailors aren’t the same thing.

With the typical journalists level of knowledge of the military, they’re lucky she’s not talking about soldiers in boats.

I wonder how the story will read after repeal of DADT?

“Every horny woman comes out of the woodwork,” she said.

Hmmmmmm, I don’t quite know what to make of that. Hahahaha. Maybe if you are at sea long enough they all look good. Chuckle, chuckle, snort, snort.

“Ms Love said the US boys were never any problems - “they treat the girls like gold”.”

It’s not that the Yanks treat the Aussie hookers so well. It’s that they treat them so much better than the Aussie men do.

In Australia, women have their uses, but an Aussie male would much rather head down to the pub for a pint a “punchup” with his mates, than hang around women.

American men are the only water in that emotional desert.

Charming.

At 1st I thought this was a story on how US “seamen” (no pun?) are dying in droves because of STDs.

“Darwin’s prostitutes...”

Hence, the Darwin Awards?

Guess I was wrong.

Navy blokes asking about Viagra

Slander and calumny against the sailors of the United States Navy . Probably originated and disseminated to deceive our Australian cousins by some POMy Poofter boss-tawd.

I agree. Why would anyone buy it?!?! Obviously, many do, but the logic escapes me. One of those great unanswered mysteries of life (for me at least).

I am sure glad Seamen was spelled correctly for this article.

Just to let you know I appreciate a well turned phrase.

Well, I for one am shocked. As a former Naval enlisted and officer I can state firmly that sex was never the first thing on my mind when I pulled into port after a couple of months at sea and saw those tall, lanky, tanned beauties in bikinis with the soft hair blowing in the summer breeze laying out a towel on the beach and breaking out the suntan lotion and rubbing it into one another's...[sound of BtD taking a cold shower]...where was I? Oh, yeah. "Excuse me, Miss, could you tell me where the nearest Christian Science Reading Room is?"

Port call in Oz. Oh, hell...

When I was in Australia in ‘93, I observed the exact same thing. We sailors would walk into a pub and ask for a Budweiser and every girls head would turn, order us a Victoria Bitter instead, and ignore the Aussie dudes.

Green: Prostitution legal and regulated

Blue: Prostitution legal, but organised activities such as brothels and pimping are illegal, prostitution is not regulated.

Darwin is in the blue portion, close to the center-top of the map.

“....ignore the Aussie dudes.”

Indeed, if you have an appetite for “fishing”, Australia is like have your own barrel to yourself. It’s hardly challenging, when the competition doesn’t even know how to bait a hook properly.
