PERTH prostitutes were reeling from exhaustion following an influx of United States sailors stressed from a stint in a war zone, a well-known madam said today.
Mary-Anne Kenworthy said she was forced to close the doors of her famous Langtrees brothel for only the third time ever yesterday because her prostitutes were so worn out they could no longer provide a quality service.
When she realised the sex workers just couldn't cope any more she closed Langtrees doors for a day rather than risk the brothel's reputation.
"We're the biggest and the best, I'd rather take nothing than offer a poor service," Ms Kenworthy said.
Langtrees did a week's business in just three days after 5500 American sailors disembarked in Fremantle on Sunday, many of them stressed from their encounter with war, she said.
Three US warships – the aircraft carrier USS John C Stennis, the guided missile cruiser USS Port Royal and the fast combat support ship USS Bridge – were returning from taking part in the war against terror.
"A lot of it was stres. They'd been in the war zone," Ms Kenworthy said.
"And they were a lot more agitated sexually because they'd been at sea too long.
"All the sex workers in Perth would have been exhausted."
Ms Kenworthy said she had to close the doors when she realised some sex workers were taking money when they were not up to the job.
"The girls were starting to refuse to have sex but still wanted money just for taking their clothes off."
Ms Kenworthy said she wished the US sailors would arrive in smaller numbers.
"I just wish they could dribble-feed the Yanks in, fly a thousand off at a time," she said.
"We usually find the Yanks are hard work but lots of fun, this time they needed the company too."
Ms Kenworthy said the last time she closed the brothel's doors was on December 31, 1999 so the girls could party.

Sexual misconduct? What sexual misconduct? Is it illegal in Australia? If not, then there's no sexual misconduct.
Because they are pathetic and desperate.
Um, there's a difference between normal male to male companionship and normal male to female companionship. Your father must have missed explaining this to you. :^)
Australia is but a self-charicature of its former self...but I'd sure give it a thumbs up as a Good Part of the World. If only the Foster's commercials were still true...
LOL and FReegards...MUD
This younger generation doesn't have the moral standards that you and I had. All of our time was spent at the museums and libraries.
(please excuse any typo's…I'm having to rush this comment before my wife gets back in the room)
My folks were there for about two years...America lost out when it forfeited Subic and Clark, as did the Filipino people.
FReegards...MUD
We can let foreign socialist women do it, but we don't want our American significant others and daughters doing it. :^) The same way it's OK for Africans to run around naked, but it wouldn't be right for people here in America to run around naked publicly.
Big Time!
As far as I can tell, there's still some pretty nasty duty to pull, but the Navy will get you to some exotic places if you so desire.
"This younger generation doesn't have the moral standards that you and I had. All of our time was spent at the museums and libraries."
Uhhh...yeah.
LOL...MUD
And saving your ass from terrorists, commies, and other assorted despots.
I am a man an am glad that I am not that way....
That would fall under the catagory of, "none of your business". You think you know me well enough to ask these kinds of questions but you don't.
I am not sure, but perhaps you think that just because I don't condemn these sailors for visiting a brothel that I must go to them all the time myself. If this is what you assume then you are wrong and you owe me an appology.
As for which is more pathetic having a relationship with your hand or one with a prostitute, I will admit that neither is ideal, but at least a prostitute is a person.
I am a man an am glad that I am not that way.... O by the way I meant women when I said men....
I wasn't aware that you could have a relationship with either one.
These men have been at sea living an abstinent life not seeing anything but other men for months. If a lot 40 year old priests have a hard time with it, then how does a twenty-something handle abstinence. Most are in their early twenties and are not of the age of realizing the consequences of an excessively free-spirited life. If you have this vision of every woman being something like a pure rose in the meadow, I have news for you. A lot of women are pretty crude. I'm not saying that these brothel women are all crude, but not all women are angels. How can you exploit something that's unexploitable?
It is infantile behavior on the part of the male--the diametric opposite of the behavior of a real man.
I would hesitate very much to question the masculinity of the men that keep our enemies and our potential enemies at bay seeing angry fire in doing so.
,,, looks like the aircraft carrier's publicist got to the brothel keeper during this port call.
May I suggest that you stand face to face with those VOLUNTEERS currently defending our country and tell them they're not acting like real men.
And don't forget to pick up your teeth when you are done.
