I was a very shy young man. I was in the Air Force and had been sent to Germany for a 3 year tour. I was scared of girls, scared of looking a fool when I talked to them so I took the easy way out and didn't. Germany was a great time, tax free booze, very social, legalised brothels/strip clubs etc.
Our squadron used to visit West Berlin reasonably regularly, back in the cold war days when it was a shining beacon of western decadence. There were lots of stories about it, one place in particular... Mon Cheri's. This was a strip club where the stage opened up to reveal a bath, where patrons would get invited in. I was a desperate virgin in his early 20s and this sounded very exciting.
Finally I got my turn to go to the fleshpot of Berlin, along with a colleague, Al. We got down to the centre for some serious drinking, found an Irish bar, there's one everywhere, and generally had a good time til late in the evening. He was up for a bit of fun, so we got on a train and went. The club had a small frontage with a locked door, barred window and a bell, usual in Germany, it prevents the unwary wondering in. I rang the bell, and shortly after, the window blind came up and a pretty girl in white lingerie said 'Guten Abend?' I replied, and she instantly knew we were Brits. '15 Deutschmarks to get in, includes 2 drinks' So we paid and went in.
It was fairly dim but went back a way, with a stage at the back. We got a table and the waitress bought us drinks. Almost immediately two girls came and sat with us, a Thai in a white teddy next to me and a South American in black bra and pants next to Al. They cuddled up to us, chatted and eventually asked if we'd take them upstairs, 100 Deutschmarks for sex. We'd only just got in and wanted to see the show, so said no, not right now. So, off they went.
