U.S. brothel offers free sex to returning troops

Talk about what you can do for your country! -- In an unusual act of patriotism, a Nevada brothel is offering free sex to troops returning from the U.S.-Iraq (news - web sites) war.

The Moonlite BunnyRanch in Nevada, a legal brothel, also plans to extend 50 percent discounts on sex to the military for the next few weeks, proprietor Dennis Hof told Reuters in a telephone interview on Tuesday.

Hof hit on his unique gesture for honoring U.S. troops when BunnyRanch star and former Playboy magazine centerfold Sunset Thomas was flooded with letters from the front lines.

"We were receiving about 20 letters a day," Hof said. "We thought, when these guys are done we'll do something special for them."

The first 50 servicemen and women through the door will receive a sexy knockoff of their military-issued "TA-50" kits of personal hygiene items. Instead of toothbrushes and soap, Hof's kits contain condoms, lubricant, an adult magazine and a certificate for free sex.

Thirteen men and three women in uniform have shown up so far to claim their gifts. All told, the free and discounted sex will cost Hof about $50,000 (31,000 pounds) -- a worthy sacrifice, he said.

"We want to feel patriotic and feel we are doing something for our servicemen," he said. "If we owned a Dairy Queen we would be giving away free ice cream, but ... we own the sex capital of the world. What better way is there to give back?"

I hope doesn't get me banned

I was shocked to see that picture of a nude female posted here on this conservative forum. Shocked! I tell you, shocked. My eyes got big. My heart raced. Other body parts were affected. I have heard rumors that one could find porno on the internet but I never expected to see it here. I can find no words to tell you how shocked I am.

Are you going to post more pictures like that? If so, put me on your bump list. ;-)

Hey! How about us Vietnam veterans?

Why not? Grab two popcycle sticks and a rubber band and I'm sure they can squeeze you in.

BTW, that was an age joke, not a picking on a vet joke.

I'm teasing LJ. I was on the thread too!

[jammer]

lol. I was joking about pics, but you folks did well. Actually, in my younger days (1980), I visited one of them, strictly for observational purposes. You are correct--most women were pretty ugly, even in dim lighting. I couldn't imagine what they would be like in the light.

"Go to Vegas sometime. Because of the relaxed morality of legalized prostitution, there are hookers everywhere."

Prostitution is illegal in the city of Las Vegas.

"...three women in uniform " What did those 3 service women want in a brothel? Are there men in brothels who service women as well?

[lowbridge]

Hey! How about us Vietnam veterans?

And dont forget us armchair warriors too! :-)

[Lawgvr1955]

What did those 3 service women want in a brothel?

Not that I am all that familiar with the lingo, but think "don't ask, don't tell" and you will have a better idea what the three service women had in mind.

Ah, a buddy recommends the "Blister Sisters"

Mustang Ranch did this for returning us DS-DS troops. I believe the state of Nevada has taken down the Mustang Ranch for tax purposes.......:o) Wheres PETA and the Bunny huggers when theres some real beaver habitat to protect !

Stay Safe !

When I was in Costa Rica, my friend pointed out to me that while prosititution was legal in many cities there (regulated and in brothels), it was illegal in her own city. As a result, I saw several prostitutes in the town square, even right in front of the Church!
