Bali Girls & Bali Boys - Prostitution in Bali
Bali’s clubs and bars are a great place to meet people. An exciting mix of locals and tourists from around the world head to the discos and clubs to mix and mingle, making it easy to find a friend for the evening or something more long-term.
Visitors looking for company don't need to worry. Wherever you go in Sanur, Kerobokan, Seminyak, Legian and the Kuta area, there are many other single travelers, expats and locals who are looking to meet new people – day and night.
Kuta tends to pull in a younger, wilder crowd with megaclubs, ultra-cheap drinks, and a musical focus on reggae, top 40, R&B, and mainstream dance music, while Seminyak typically attracts a hipper, more refined group of clubbers. Here, also most expatriates hang out. The focus is on beautiful venues with top of the line sound systems and international DJs playing house, techno, dubstep, and other cutting edge sounds. Drinks are of higher quality, often made by the most skilled bartenders with imported ingredients. Make no mistake though, Seminyak’s clubs can get as wild as they come.
Some mega-clubs have made things easier for those who don’t want to travel by offering restaurants, bars, and multiple dance floors with different music styles, all under one roof.
Live music is available in Kuta, Sanur, and Denpasar, and tends to draw also a local crowd. Cover bands are common, as is karaoke, and the scene is more about drinking and meeting someone new than all-night dancing. When all of the clubs and bars shut down, clubbers can keep going at a number of after-hours spots or at one of the late-night restaurants or street food centers that cater to the night owl. Alternatively, they may prepare for bed.
Girls going out alone are generally safe, but it's always good to be alert and to set clear boundaries when guys (of any nationality) with a few Bintang beers too much feel encouraged by reading the signs the wrong way, in certain situations. Although this happens rarely, in some cases also Indonesian youngsters got pushy around Kuta area very late at night after they run into single women who were obviously drunk. Stay with friends as you would in any other big city when you have a glass or two too much.
Sex for Money
In Bali's discos, clubs, bars and even pubs you'll meet also many young local girls, kupu kupu malam (night butterflies or working girls mostly coming from the poorer rural areas of Java) and young boys who compete with the females. All taxi drivers, security guards, street vendors will know the more popular karaoke bars and massage parlours in Kuta, Legian and Denpasar, along with the various Houses of ill Repute in narrow back lanes. These helpful people want to share their knowledge, whether you want to know or not. Anything you might be tempted to experience or consume is available. A silent but direct massage?, young girls?, marihuana? slips the tongue of many you might pass, while walking the streets of Kuta, Legian or Seminyak.
Prostitution
Travelers should keep in mind that prostitution is big business in Bali, and that what may seem like innocent fun can sometimes turn into hassling or demand cash. Luckily, things are quite direct, so cautious visitors will easily be able to tell what they are getting themselves into in any situation. Note Prostitution is illegal in Bali, however, like in many countries, everyone turns a blind eye, and prostitution is not necessarily a tourism-related phenomena. Indonesian men who can afford it like to go to massage places regularly, asking for a massage with what they call: Happy End. People don't get killed here in the red light district, Bali is not Mexico City, but some tourists wake up without their wallet or watches after their adventures, or with a transmitted disease that is difficult to get rid off and more difficult to explain once they are home.
