Australian history forum

[Historian]

Brothels have long been associated with commerce in Australia. With Langtrees and this forum achieving a more Australia-wide appeal, we figure you'd have lots to read about the Sex Industry of the past. That's virtually anything from the history of brothels in your respective suburbs, tales and gossip of years gone past to who founded what and where.

This is the general thread for this forum which means add ideas and links of interesting sex industry history...it must be associated with the sex industry and our Historian will make a new thread and expand if you give him enough information to work on.

Hi Historian, if you are looking at different and interesting people, one name comes to mind when you look at South Australia is;-
Stormy Summers. If you research her name I am sure you will find a few interesting stories.
Good Luck.

Good old Stormy. I had know her & her late son since I was a child & went to school with her son. Grew up around the corner from where she lived before she moved into the Penthouse and gambling and poor choice in husband I gather was her fall from Grace.

I'm not sure if personal reasons like that "husband/fall from grace" are appropriate. We're still talking about another human being after all.

Darling clearly you have never meet stormy. Perhaps research the lady before deciding what is or is not appropriate luv.
Once you do your research you will see that what I am referring to was played out in the news with her new husband throwing TV from the roof. Most Adelaide people know who Stormy was and went from being an very successful madam to a massive pokie addiction so much many cars won & gifted from Adelaide casino. Sadly this poor lady lost her only son to a hot shot. He was an ok boy and he wen't to the same Catholic school as me. I have found memorises of Jason and a friend of mine was there the night he died. I only speak about what has been well published. I have the upmost respect for Stormy so I find it offending for it to be insinuated otherwise.

Here is some reading to get you started and have a wonderful day

Historian wouldn't of been trying to offends he just reads too quickly and answers before reading three times to get the true feeling across..I do the same and you are also in the club...guide rather than snap as we all have a true purpose on here and Historian will be adapting his threads to a different approach over the next month or so. They are all great History just need the juicy bits with links and then we can show the human side.
Don't forget the re[port button so General. Admiral and myself can butt in.
