The average tourist would not be aware of how big the sex industry is in Indonesia.
A short distance from my place there is a "viewing window."
The system is very simple. Men wander down the laneway, look at the group of about 30 pretty young maidens sitting on the other side of the mirror.
They make their choice, pay the boss man $16.60 and take the lass home for the next hour.
There are also the "local" haunts where the girls have been tried and tested for a number of years. The going hourly rate there is just a tick over $5.00.
Or you can wander around the correct areas and do a deal with a lass who operates freelance. A beautiful maiden costs around $30 for the whole night.
A family will often sell a daughter directly to a pimp for a certain amount of money. (The money is considered to be a loan)
The girl then has to work until she pays the pimp back.
Once the girls pay back the contract price to the pimp they can start operating freelance and possibly start earning a bit of money.
