Indonesian masseuses padlock their pants while working

Massage parlours in an Indonesian town are asking their female masseuses to padlock their skirts and pants to make it clear that sex is not on offer.

But the move has been protested by the women's affairs minister of Indonesia, where massage parlours are often a front for prostitution.

"It is not the right way to prevent promiscuity," Meutia Swasono was quoted as saying in Thursday's Jakarta Post. "It insults women, as if they are the ones in the wrong."

At least one parlour in the tourist town of Batu on Java island has required its masseuses to padlock their skirts or trousers to make it clear that the establishment does not tolerate prostitution.

Others in the town started following suit after local officials suggested it was a good idea at a recent meeting with parlour owners. TV footage and photos have shown several masseuses with small padlocks in the zip of their pants or skirts in recent days.

"The padlocking phenomena has been seen at various parlours and it is something we like," said Imam Suryono, the head of the town's public order authority. He denied media reports that he had formally ordered them to wear padlocks.

It was not immediately possible to contact Swasono for comment.

What a joke. Indonesia is the worlds pedophile & NAMBLA vacation hot spot. It's the sole income of many of those seedy "resorts".

What purpose would banning "normal" hetro sex activity serve? NONE! it doesn't exist!
