Thought I would share this with you all.
Whilst in the process of negotiating a price for transport from Amed to Ubud, I noticed a rooster with very long talons caged inside a whicker basket. I asked Ketut if he was used for cock fighting? He replied that it was illegal, but it still takes place. More conversation on the matter with Ketut informing us that may Balineese wives dont like cock fighting as their husbands spend too much time massaging their cocks and not looking after them. Indeed he said, that some men massage their cocks 10 times a day!!!! I could have gone to 20 different answers on that one, (was he winding me up?)like a skit from the Benny Hill show, but I chose to "let it go through to the keeper" A couple of days later, Ibu was wondering the rice paddies of Ubud, when she came accross a gentleman in his finest temple clothing and he was massaging his rooster! She reported that rooster appeared in a docile trance with the attention it was receiving. Well there you go!!!
Talking of things different, the current Bali Advertiser, from memory p48 top right hand corner, ( I have not got the paper with me) an advertisment for massage of ladys personal bits, but its a bit more blunt than that! I dont know what to make of it? Is it for real?
