Bali 'gigolos' arrested after YouTube video shines light on Indonesian sex tourism

Police on the Indonesian holiday island of Bali have arrested around 30 men suspected of male prostitution with western women.
Bali police spokesman Gede Sugianyar said the move was an attempt to "clean up the beach of prostitution" after it emerged in a documentary by a foreign film-maker that local men, known as beach 'cowboys', were wooing female tourists.
A Balinese 'gigolo' appears in the documentary 'Cowboys in Paradise' which has caused a stir with police and tourism officials on the island
The documentary 'Cowboys in Paradise' - the work of Singapore-based director Amit Virmani - left Bali's tourism officials reeling when it was shown at a South Korean film festival earlier this month.
In the film, which has been posted on YouTube, local men talk honestly about how they seduce visiting female tourists, with the wife of one of the 'cowboys' admitting: "When my husband's guests come, he stays with them. For a night or two, I don't sleep with him. I don't mind that".

Tourism chiefs fear that the video is tarnishing Bali's reputation as a family-friendly destination. More than six million visitors flock to the island every year for its cocktail of sunshine, culture and beaches.
Bali Governor Made Mangku Pastika said: "Certainly it's worrying. We'll take action so the image of Bali as a spiritual island isn't tainted".
The men involved have denied the relationships formed on the beaches involve money.
29-year-old Rosnan Efendi commented: "I'm stressed by the raids. I wonder if the authorities are coming after me next.
"I'm also angry the film-maker twisted the story. We were told it was a documentary about love and relationships between locals and foreigners."

The surf instructor said he was with his current girlfriend, a German he met on the beach four years ago, "because of love, not money", adding "When we go out, we split the bills. She doesn't pay for me".
An Australian woman questioned in the film defends the 'cowboys': "There's a lot of frustrated Western women out there. Just look at the sales of 'Eat, Pray, Love'," (Elizabeth Gilbert's best-selling self-discovery memoir).
"Women don't want to be women anymore and instead they want to be feminine, so I can understand why they come here and they're searching for something and suddenly this environment provides that."

The man behind the film, Amit Virmani, said he was "extremely disheartened" over the arrests.
"All they did was speak honestly about their lives. No one should be harmed for that.
"I wanted to understand the men behind the cowboy myth. People never got past looking at them as gigolos. That's so one dimensional. I wanted to know why they are so appealing to women? What are their relationships like?...I wanted to humanise them.
"I personally believe the beach would be a very dull place without their friendliness."
Police spokesman Sugianyar said prosecuting the men would be difficult.
"Like many places in the world, there are indications of male prostitution in Bali. This has been happening for some time but it's hard to prove as the men are discreet.
"They don't have sex on the beach, they do it elsewhere. The beach is only a meeting place for them and their potential clients.
"We can't get rid of them 100 percent. There's a supply because there's a demand. It takes two hands to clap."
The island, where the population is predominantly Hindu, gets around 80 per cent of its income from tourism

Well let's me how well Pappies are going to protect this PR. The Romanian govt basically fucked MIW by giving them a runaround, didn't matter if they were shielding a murderer.
This filmmaker has not killed anyone, but exposed the sordid truth behind the spiritual facade of the tourist trap. Wonder who's going to stick his neck out for this guy
George, you ready?
