Bali island is known as good names such as thousand temples, living monument or
living museum, island of gods and goddesses and the last paradise. Does prostitutes
humiliates the image of Bali? In the understanding of many people yes! Prostitution
and the name of Bali should be mutually exclusive, at least in the sense of public
admission. Prostitution seems to have been part of society ever since the introduction
of social institution in the most simplest way it has been the integrated element
of social life weather it was settled or nomad. The practice of free sex seems
to be originated from the most simplest life of the people, or in fact human being
already given the instinct prone to do this? Despite the fact of intensive institutionalization
of this physical function of human being, both before and after religion, yet
almost no society in the world is free of prostitution including Bali. The only
society's leaders and religious leaders are hypocrite in facing this fact without
understanding what will be the precise impact on the society in the future. Prostitution
is an integral part of crime and social deviation. When member of society experienced
a degree of social regulation and tradition the prostitution appears as the alternative
of expressing the energy that flows disoriented or in the vulgar word following
their animal instinct. It has been no strange, since the beginning prostitutes
come from other islands outside Bali, and has become one of Balinese culture known
by tourists. Thanks God that Balinese girls or women until very recently have
not been found to involve, and although there are suspicion of Balinese women
to have join this hated part of the society, it has been well known only from
certain region which is by Balinese itself less respected. Until now a research
on how big the percentage of participation from that part Balinese women in prostitution
has not been done, and will not be done until the leaders of Bali admit the existence. |
