War stress wears out prostitutes

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.

Some on this thread probably think it's a sin, not to mention the hairy palms.

I think that sailors ought to be given a little slack. I couldn't go long with out female companionship. I think most guys are like that too. At least the ones that like women:)

I was a sailor and I'll tell you that sailors, many times, are given too MUCH slack.
I can go as long as I need to, without female companionship, to wait and be with the one that I have a relationship with.
You could be right in saying that most guys are like that. Then again I've been told again and again that I'm not LIKE most guys.
I do like women but I like keeping the parts I was born with too. I wouldn't want to lose them through either disease OR a sharp knife (only half joking).

Well said, out boys don't need to be cuddling each other asking about their feelings..they need to be killing the enemy.

As to the issue of whether a single man can visit a legal bunny ranch, I'll leave that between the fighting man and his maker.

As for the sin - which do they think is the worse sin of the two?
As for the hairy palms - would you rather have hairy palms or a penis that looks like an unfolding rose with mold on it?

"...an influx of United States sailors stressed from a stint in a war zone..."

I happened to be visiting the Philippines' Subic Air Base the Christmas before Desert Storm and witnessed much influx of U.S. sailors into Olangapo(sp?) City wherein they met up with many pretty young damsels from Manila and elsewhere. It was an interesting holiday for me and my brothers...we all behaved despite much temptation not to.

That IS what it comes (no pun intended) down to.

It sounds like its going to be a long night in Perth this evening, they've given the sailors a day off to rest!

Something tells me that it is going to take the ladies a little longer than a 24 hour break to solve this 'problem.'

Perhaps it's not quite the same thing, but I wonder if the people upset with Clinton using taxpayer dollars to "get some" will be just as disappointed to see U.S. soldiers upholding and defending the Constitution in the same manner.

There's a big difference. These soldiers earned their money and it was their money, Clinton didn't earn his money and used other people's money. Clinton should have received his paycheck from the U.N. and China.

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.

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."

Bwahaha...

Nice to see someone here that has standards and morals. I wonder how many in this thread have ever had a case of VD.

It sure can be hard (again, no pun intended). I lived there for 5 1/2 years.
