Gigolo in Kuta Bali, ah not new!

By: Yoedi Karyono

Tourism Office and the Government of the Province of Bali, angry, offended by the existence of semi-documentary films Kuta Cowboys in Paradise made director of the practice in Singapore who told a male prostitute or a gigolo on the island of Bali especially Kuta beach which is very famous in many countries. Why, with so eager Bali Governor I Made Pastika said that filming of manufacture pollute the island of Bali was not asking for government permission, what if the filmmakers were then allowed to ask permission? was another question. The movie was''illegal movie made without permission and damaged the image of Bali,''said Made.

Film licensed or not, the fact is along the Kuta beach that's the way it is, well-built men with Indonesian special color brown, their faces lined up along the coast of Indonesian cuisine, they are ready to give lessons in the waves beselancar Kuta Beach which was great fun to surf . They're the gigolo?, Of course not, but it is not unusual for the gigolo was also disguised as a surf coach, merchants, artists or whatever they can to cover up their original professions.

Indeed no one wants to put a name on the chest or other identification indicating that they are a gigolo. For this region, of course, done by the transaction under hand, until whenever they will not come clean, the seller of sexual services and the satisfaction of consumers already know the track, and traksaksi lust rose in progress, want to use for how long, how much, if already suitable agreement then there's passion.

Order on the island of Bali is broken?, Not all, those who still hold traditional, traditions and religion with a very strong and very well still very taxes they even still the majority. However, it can not be denied the existence of prostitution, whether by a male prostitute or a female prostitute. To look is not too difficult, as well as at Soekarno Hatta airport, the driver with a very agile tells where sex attractions and shows, as well as taxi drivers in Thailand's Chiang Mai Airport. Want to watch live shows or intercourse more than that, in Jakarta were also there.

In the island resort of Bali, the same taxi drivers also deftly provides clues where sex tourism and could get a gigolo, prostitute, homosexual enthusiasts and even under-age sex - there is also a pedophile, they are also ready to deliver where the destination.

Tradition, there is good and religion on the island is long eroded even in the '70s artists who are very familiar with the customs and traditions of Bali, Guruh Soekarno Putera with Gipsy Band released a song called Chopin float which illustrated damage customs, traditions , culture and even religion in Bali. Bali''If not careful it will happen is the second Hawaii is going to happen in Bali, customs, traditions, culture and religion will only just be a tourism package that only consumed for the show alone,''said Guruh.

Hawaiian growth solely rely on the state of the United States income from tourism was a very negative impact on the population, the number of tourists who bring bad influences, including free sex and also the proliferation of prostitution and also fertile gigolo, the same thing also happened in Brazil Copacapabana Beach , a Spanish tourist numbers far greater than the population in a single season tourism.

Well, now Bali feel the negative effects that, if a few decades ago they were the perpetrators of crimes and immoral acts, and immoral are the newcomers, both the tourists and migrants who are not original inhabitants of Bali, and now this murder, pedophilia, theft and acts breaking the law, including homosexual practice is gigolo and also include a Balinese.

Of course, traditional elders vehemently deny what terkadi in Bali, but in fact is along the Kuta Beach is very easy to find a couple of women with age above 50 years and foreign tourists are white-faced and posture are making out with a man aged 20 years younger brown-skinned, thick local dialect is still in English, couples were making out on the beach and even the occasional kiss on the mouth with very hot without shame.

On the other hand, when the sun sets there are partner among countries with shamelessly when they makes love - coitus sunset on the beach, they are not the only one spouse only. Coitus on the beach were also conducted at night, when the coast is considered to be quiet.

Regional Government of Bali had indeed been doing policing what happens on the beach, but still the same thing happens repeatedly or foreign tourists casually opened the top of the bikini even those with very relaxed swim naked way along the coast that is known very romantic.

The existence of the practice of gigolo, homosexuals and even pedophiles do occur because of the demand and supply, and the foreign tourists it's not uncommon to want to do while in Bali adventure and it's not just happening on a fairly old woman and idly looking young gigolo, but also a young woman from the tourists who really want to feel the adventure of Indonesia sex with men, especially those who were in Bali, their numbers are not large, but they are there and the adventure had already happened a long time.

Permissive attitude to the widespread influence of globalization is not uncommon to change the perspective and attitudes of young people of Bali itself. They also want to try an adventure sex with Caucasian women. The women also want to experiment with Western men, it happens transaction lust that, while cases of pedophilia is more common because of fraud, they were promised will become an adopted child, schooled in his country or other lure, but eventually sexually exploited.

Thus, the Provincial Government of Bali not be offended by the film Kuta Cowboys in Paradise, in the 80s Televisi Republik Indonesia has also been running stories about youth unemployment and Bali who happens to have no skill gigolo trapped in the practice of contracting HIV Aids and finally, the story built on facts and no one was hurt and the fact that there are, the Provincial Government of Bali not a broken heart and broken spirit, in Côte Patttaya Thailand and other places around the world this kind of moral disease still exists.

One of the reasons why the Bali bomb Amrozi Cs, because the morality in this area has been badly damaged, besides liquor circulated very freely even too free. All people must condemn such killings and terrorism by Amrozi Cs, and those who are maintaining the tradition, culture, customs and religion in Bali is certainly not littered gigolo practices and other immoral acts. Up to now stay in Bali Province 10 major areas that are infected with HIV Aids, what morality is because of sin. (rainbowdiplomacy.com/Photo: Dana Anwari)

History of Ubud Bali

Ubud is a town on the Indonesian island of Bali in Ubud District, located amongst rice paddies and steep ravines in the central foothills of the Gianyar regency. One of Bali's major arts and culture centres, it has developed a large tourism industry.

Ubud has a population of about 8,000 people, but it is becoming difficult to distinguish the town itself from the villages that surround it.

8th century legend tells of a Javanese priest, Rsi Markendya, who meditated at the confluence of two rivers (an auspicious site for Hindus) at the Ubud locality of Campuan. Here he founded the Gunung Lebah Temple on the valley floor, the site of which remains a pilgrim destination.

The town was originally important as a source of medicinal herbs and plants; Ubud gets its name from the Balinese word ubad (medicine).

In the late nineteenth century, Ubud became the seat of feudal lords who owed their allegiance to the king of Gianyar, at one time the most powerful of Bali's southern states. The lords were members of the satriya family of Sukawati, and were significant supporters of the village's increasingly renowned arts scene.

Tourism on the island developed after the arrival of Walter Spies, an ethnic German born in Russia who taught painting and music, and dabbled in dance. Spies and foreign painters Willem Hofker and Rudolf Bonnet entertained celebrities including Charlie Chaplin, Noel Coward, Barbara Hutton, H.G. Wells and Vicki Baum. They brought in some of the greatest artists from all over Bali to teach and train the Balinese in arts, helping Ubud become the cultural centre of Bali.

A new burst of creative energy came in 1960s in the wake of Dutch painter Arie Smit (1916-), and development of the Young Artists Movement. There are many museums in Ubud, including the Museum Puri Lukisan and the Agung Rai Museum of Art.

The Bali tourist boom since the late 1960s has seen much development in the town; however, it remains a centre of artistic pursuit. (rainbowdiplomacy.com/wikipedia/photo:balipurnama.com)

Bali Island, Indonesia

Bali was inhabited by Austronesian peoples by about 2000 BC who migrated originally from Taiwan through Maritime Southeast Asia. Culturally and linguistically, the Balinese are thus closely related to the peoples of the Indonesian archipelago, the Philippines, and Oceania. Stone tools dating from this time have been found near the village of Cekik in the island's west.


Balinese culture was strongly influenced by Indian and Chinese, and particularly Hindu culture, in a process beginning around the 1st century AD. The name Bali dwipa ("Bali island") has been discovered from various inscriptions, including the Blanjong pillar inscription written by Sri Kesari Warmadewa in 914 AD and mentioning "Walidwipa". It was during this time that the complex irrigation system subak was developed to grow rice. Some religious and cultural traditions still in existence today can be traced back to this period. The Hindu Majapahit Empire (1293–1520 AD) on eastern Java founded a Balinese colony in 1343. When the empire declined, there was an exodus of intellectuals, artists, priests and musicians from Java to Bali in the 15th century.

The first European contact with Bali is thought to have been made by Dutch explorer Cornelis de Houtman who arrived in 1597, though a Portuguese ship had foundered off the Bukit Peninsula as early as 1585 and left a few Portuguese in the service of Dewa Agung. Dutch colonial control expanded across the Indonesian archipelago in the nineteenth century (see Dutch East Indies). Their political and economic control over Bali began in the 1840s on the island's north coast by pitting various distrustful Balinese realms against each other. In the late 1890s, struggles between Balinese kingdoms in the island's south were exploited by the Dutch to increase their control.

The Dutch mounted large naval and ground assaults at the Sanur region in 1906 and were met by the thousands of members of the royal family and their followers who fought against the superior Dutch force in a suicidal puputan defensive assault rather than face the humiliation of surrender. Despite Dutch demands for surrender, an estimated 1,000 Balinese marched to their death against the invaders.[8] In the Dutch intervention in Bali (1908), a similar massacre occurred in the face of a Dutch assault in Klungkung. Afterwards the Dutch governors were able to exercise administrative control over the island, but local control over religion and culture generally remained intact. Dutch rule over Bali had come later and was never as well established as in other parts of Indonesia such as Java and Maluku.

In the 1930s, anthropologists Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson, and artists Miguel Covarrubias and Walter Spies, and musicologist Colin McPhee created a western image of Bali as "an enchanted land of aesthetes at peace with themselves and nature", and western tourism first developed on the island.

Imperial Japan occupied Bali during World War II during which time a Balinese military officer, Gusti Ngurah Rai, formed a Balinese 'freedom army'. The lack of institutional changes from the time of Dutch rule however, and the harshness of war requisitions made Japanese rule little better than the Dutch one.[10] Following Japan's Pacific surrender in August 1945, the Dutch promptly returned to Indonesia, including Bali, immediately to reinstate their pre-war colonial administration. This was resisted by the Balinese rebels now using Japanese weapons. On 20 November 1946, the Battle of Marga was fought in Tabanan in central Bali. Colonel I Gusti Ngurah Rai, by then 29 years old, finally rallied his forces in east Bali at Marga Rana, where they made a suicide attack on the heavily armed Dutch. The Balinese battalion was entirely wiped out, breaking the last thread of Balinese military resistance. In 1946 the Dutch constituted Bali as one of the 13 administrative districts of the newly-proclaimed State of East Indonesia, a rival state to the Republic of Indonesia which was proclaimed and headed by Sukarno and Hatta. Bali was included in the "Republic of the United States of Indonesia" when the Netherlands recognised Indonesian independence on 29 December 1949.

The 1963 eruption of Mount Agung killed thousands, created economic havoc and forced many displaced Balinese to be transmigrated to other parts of Indonesia. Mirroring the widening of social divisions across Indonesia in the 1950s and early 1960s, Bali saw conflict between supporters of the traditional caste system, and those rejecting these traditional values. Politically, this was represented by opposing supporters of the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) and the Indonesian Nationalist Party (PNI), with tensions and ill-feeling further increased by the PKI's land reform programs. An attempted coup in Jakarta was put down by forces led by General Suharto. The army became the dominant power as it instigated a violent anti-communist purge, in which the army blamed the PKI for the coup. Most estimates suggest that at least 500,000 people were killed across Indonesia, with an estimated 80,000 killed in Bali, equivalent to 5% of the island's population. With no Islamic forces involved as in Java and Sumatra, upper-caste PNI landlords led the extermination of PKI members.

As a result of the 1965/66 upheavals, Suharto was able to maneuver Sukarno out of the presidency, and his "New Order" government reestablished relations with western countries. The pre-War Bali as "paradise" was revived in a modern form, and the resulting large growth in tourism has led to a dramatic increase in Balinese standards of living and significant foreign exchange earned for the country. A bombing in 2002 by militant Islamists in the tourist area of Kuta killed 202 people, mostly foreigners. This attack, and another in 2005, severely affected tourism, bringing much economic hardship to the island. (Wikipedia)
