Everybody knows that Bali, the beautiful tropical island of Indonesia, is a popular tourist destination for locals and foreigners alike. However, many are not aware that the island is also a paradise for females looking for sex vacations.
“Bali gigolos”, “Bali beach boys”, “Whitey Hunters (Pemburu Bule)” or “Kuta cowboys” are some of the names referring to Balinese men who seek a living through entertaining foreign women visiting the island. Finding them is not difficult. If you are a female tourist and alone, many will approach you when you are having a stroll on the beach or along crowded streets of Kuta. Of course, even more of these cowboys can be found in the night clubs and bars (not ranches, mind you).
Muscular and glossy-skinned, Balinese men appeal largely to women from Britain, Australia and many other places, but wealthy and single Japanese women are the biggest catch that makes up the highest number of visitors. In 2002, the Japanese consulate in Denpasar put up a ban on tour groups and issued a travel warning worried about the rape or sexual harassment cases to Japanese tourists. However, it did not have any impact in curtailing the trend.
Although this side of the colorful market is not openly talked about, single, wealthy and even older women do travel to Bali for a romantic experience with a companion who offers them all the attention they have longed for.
The life of gigolos seems more of a dream life for most Balinese men with perks like spending the night in lavish hotels, having free meals, expensive gifts and getting invitations for vacations abroad. Some even chart a more serious relationship with their clients afterwards.
