‘US Navy Wears Out Aussie Prostitutes’


I found this funny little Gem of a story and thought I would
share it! The story supposedly took place during a 2001-2002
deployment!! I don’t rightly know how true it is, but it sure
makes for one helluva Sea Story!!!
 
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.

  1. I guess when the system is overworked and breaking down, one must resort to the old, time-tested manual hand method
    .

  2. This did happen. I was on the Stennis. It was actually in the local paper that the brothel had to close its doors. Too funny...

  3. this was not uncommon thing in West Aus - in the mid 70's Coral Sea would drop in for some R&R ( as Aussies would say rest and rooting) - hired out the top floor of the Parmelia Hotel and for four days its was full on - a bit of a shock to a 15 yr old country boy from QLD. We had an initial entry training base their for boy sailors - caught under the guise - if you are wearing a sailors uniform - you are all part of the team. ton of fun.
