I think you got the wrong end of the stick. Kuta Cowboys are (Mainly)Balinese aged between 15 - to whatever, who pick up women of any age. The main requirement being the tourist being able to pay for everything. They will wait for their 'girlfriends' to come everytime and may even get a trip out of it to another country. They have several 'girlfriends' on the go at once. A large percentage of the cowboys are married or have a local girlfriend.
Personally I think it is a great service as long as the tourist is aware of what the relationship is. Unfortunately some do not and get hurt.
What you refer to is totally different.
