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.

Nowhere near the same thing. The priests were victimizing unwilling people. I doubt many of the people in the bordello were unwilling paticipants.
They would probaly qualify for that under "repetitive motion disorder".
I believe the original quote has been restored.
I'd rather take nothing than offer a poor service
I can't speak for anyone else, but in this department I would rather have poor service than nothing.
An agency created under X-42's tenure, no doubt!
Oh, I don't know. Several of my previous employers were always ready to screw the employees.
Hey! They are in the same boat.
Bad one liner aside, would you go to a crazy shrink?
The decision was made after an incident with a replacement prostitute who had a speech impediment, and a randy sailor claiming to be the Norse god Thor got out of hand.
During sex the sailor would holler “I am Thor, I am Thor” to the consternation of the prostitute who responded “listen pal I am so thor I can barely pisth."
They are both necessary and totally different support systems.
Would you suggest the sailor going ashore marry the first love starved girl he meets, or do what military men have done for centuries? Even the sanctimonious Roundhead Army under Cromwell had camp followers.
[Sorry to any gals, dropping by, for having to go public with what is usually male talk. But I thought someone should put in a good word for the fleet.]

HA!!
Bravo, mate.
...eh; there's a Foster's commercial lurking here, somewhere.
And what laws do you know were definitely broken?
I forged deep relationships with the men I served with, but I sure as hell don't want to f*** or cuddle with them. Apples and oranges, man.
Yea, right, like there's a difference between a bad .. and a good . .
In my book there sure is, though one may be less likely to notice after a couple of months at sea.
