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.

When I was there in 88', My Fire Team and I closed them by our selves.
Speeuuuuw <<<<<<<<<<<<<<!!...........choke..........gasp!
You win! I'm really into the silly threads tonite............FRegards
Oh brother. If boys who bang whores at brothels are the best we got where "real men" are concerned, I see no reason for defending the country ... er, the "wife and kids" back home.
I thought real men just drank like fish and started fights and left to the imagination their exploits with prostitutes who may or may not be sending home a little veneral disease or worse for the wife or girlfriend on whom he's screwing around. For all the talk of not wanting to cuddle or sleep with your bunkmate, it sounds as though none has a problem with sharing the "sock" as long as it's part of a female bod.
You hearken to these "volunteers" who committed to defend the country. What about their freely obligating themselves to wives or girlfriends? Unless these "Real Men" can't score "Real Women" it's obvious they couldn't make or keep a commitment if they tried. Little wonder there are so few "Real Marriages" surviving these days.
All of this is talk best left to the smoker or the boys bathroom. Though it's hard to make that argument now that folks like A+Bert (who had no problems holding forth on what "real men" were capable of in combat where women -- willing or otherwise -- were concerned) are long gone for talking such trash.
Maybe this too is different now that it's "war-time". Perhaps all women need to understand that implicit in hooking up with our nation's finest is the real threat of infidelity and sexually transmitted disease because that's not only what "Real Men" do, that's what "Real Men" defend as a perfectly legitimate and honorable activity.
Of course, on the flip side, perhaps the women back home could just take a page from the "Real Men" and, emulating their sense of duty, relieve with a little sex on the side the stress of holding down the fort alone. Chances are they would't even have to pay for it like their husbands or boyfriends do and might even score dinner, drinks and entertainment as a bonus!
I'm sure any "Real Man" would understand perfectly. It's doubtful these strapping virile sorts are attracted to or hook up with frigid women. What do they expect if they leave her home alone -- possibly cooped up in some can with the kids -- for months on end? Why shouldn't she get the same leeway with her vows or commitment as he?
Does he address you as "Eel" when he does speak to you, though? That would be tres cool - what more evidence would you need that God was a freeper? ;)
Trust all is well with you, guy.
A+Bert is not here to defend himself, if that needed to be done.
See my post above re the wives. I glossed over the details.
When I was younger, I saw everything in black and white. As I've aged and also found people like you on FR, I've had a lot of fun being conditioned to a little bit of grey.
At that time, SAC was nearly 30 per cent more divorce rate than the rest of the Air Force.
Coming to a town near you, Mike-----Casa Gonzo! We're moving to the left coast, bub, and if we get the place on the Anclotte River, I'm re-naming the waterfront 'Gonzo-Bay, Home to all Right-Wing Miscreants'!
We're coming, pally! It's just a matter of when. Stay well and vigilant, pal......FRegards
$10.00 for 5 hours with a lady of the servicemans choosing...what a deal! I see why this place is so popular
What he said wasn't pleasant but I'll bet my bottom dollar it was true. It's all fun and games and Aussie broads until what "Real Men" are capable of comes out.
Your sanctimonious rant has been duly noted and accepted. I will certainly give it every consideration that I think it deserves.
BTW, did you hear the one about the sailor who fell in love with a world class swimmer? She had trained all of her adult life as a streetwalker in Venice.
For $20.00 Australian (10.00 US Currency) the sailors can spread their five hours of 'shore leave' at the bunny ranch over an ENTIRE WEEK!
Me thinks our boys are firing and reloading for additional hours after the first night, and it probably doesn't take much to get em happy..heck I could fire 2-3 volleys in an hour! (if the pressure was on)
All for the price of a lap dance at the Eager Beaver in the U.S.-join the Navy see the world indeed..
I hear ya. I started noticing a little grey a while back, and over time, I've gradually come to think that most everything is grey, with very little black and white. But I've also come to think that I prefer it that way - life is easy, safe, and boring when everything's black and white ;)
