One of the biggest changes to Bali nightlife since the past 5 years is the seemingly growing number of prostitution or semi-prostitution venues in Bali. Those places were once discreetly located in Sanur or in some seedy streets in Denpasar, but they are now everywhere and they are certainly not trying to hide. In Kartika Plaza, you have the new District Club which features sexy dancers and karaoke rooms with Lady Companions. It is owned by Tommy Winata, famous for being behind naughty clubs like Golden Crown in Jakarta. Other naughty KTVs include EC Bali, Tang Chao (for Chinese) and Level One. In Denpasar, Akasaka was extended with a new room called A-Club, also with sexy dancers and prostitutes. The old room in Akasaka is packed on weekends and during my visit there, I saw fully naked women trying to sell tequila shots to customers in exchange for private lap dances. Considering the head-banging music that was played there, we can imagine most people inside were taki
I have bought countless goods on Amazon over the years (books, toys, air purifier, pollution masks , etc) and had them shipped to Indonesia, in Jakarta or Bali, without any difficulties. In spite of this, I know quite many expats who are still not confident using the website. That's a shame because there are still many products that are hard to find in Indonesia, especially if you live in smaller cities. Amazon also has competitive prices (in particular on its " Today's Deals " page) and it is much safer to use than local alternatives like Lazada or Tokopedia. If you are still hesitating, this guide will explain everything you need to know about buying on Amazon from Indonesia and why you should not worry about it. I will answer common questions like: - Is it safe to ship from Amazon to Indonesia? - What kind of products should you avoid buying on Amazon for Indonesia? - What is the AmazonGlobal shipping program and how does it work? - Does A

Gravure idols are the Japanese equivalent to FHM models. They appear on the front page of male-oriented magazines, wearing sexy lingerie or swimsuits, or they shoot videos in which they playfully tease men with suggestive moves. They will rarely make nudes, or do pornographic movies, though some JAV actresses did start as gravure idols. On the contrary, for the most talented and beautiful models, the final objective is to become a mainstream actress or singer. That's what happened with most of the girls listed below. How to Meet Gravure Idols? One thing you should know is that it is possible to meet and date famous gravure idols, for instance by using the services of an elite dating club like Universe (based in Tokyo and Singapore). Basically, Universe helps you to set up dates with Japanese women, in exchange for a fee that varies between US$300 and US$1,500. It is more expensive than a sugar dating website like Seeking , but you have access to more beautifu
Despite being considered a conservative country, watching porn is just as popular in Indonesia as it is elsewhere on the planet. When I was living in Jakarta in the early 2000s, I remember that it was quite common to see pirated porn DVDs and VCDs (also called "blue movies") being sold discreetly along some major streets of the city. Things have changed today. Indonesians now find their porn on the Internet, using VPNs to bypass the censorship of the government (see my article Best VPNs for Indonesia for more information). In fact, according to a 2016 poll, 41% of Indonesian internet users have a VPN installed on their computer or smartphone. The main reason for that, obviously, is to access porn websites. With such an appetite for porn (and a country of over 250 million inhabitants), one could think that there are many Indonesian pornstars around. Sadly, the answer is no. I could not find one that is still active as of today, even after looking at a list
With the current crackdown on red-light districts and massage parlours everywhere in the country, for instance in Kalijodo in Jakarta or Dolly in Surabaya, online prostitution has been booming in Indonesia. Surprisingly, sexual services are not necessarily advertised through specific adult dating sites. Indeed, many of them, even sugar dating sites like SeekingArrangement , or swinging ones like Adult Friend Finder , are blocked by the government and only available if you download a VPN (see Best VPN for Indonesia to see how to do). Prostitutes, pimps, and mafias use mainstream websites and apps instead, like Facebook, Twitter, WeChat, BeeTalk, Instagram, Badoo or Tinder . If you are using any of these, you have probably noticed that there are more and more profiles of prostitutes, to the point that it can ruin the experience for "normal" users. This is the case on WeChat. They have a feature called "Look Around" that can be used to meet people
