While prostitution is illegal, the oldest profession in the world is thriving in the streets of Colombo. Whether it is need for money or out of force prostitution is functioning in a strange harmony with the legal professions. But the question is, how can it function so well if it is illegal?
The answer is, of course, obvious to many. In addition, despite widely publicised crackdowns by the Telecom Regulatory Board TRC on websites with rather controversial and explicit content, a simple google search resulted in many revealing finds. Ganesh explained that several of these brothels masquerade as massage parlours.
In fact, a well known five star hotel in Colombo, located near the Galle Face, is well known for this. No one would guess that it happens at such a reputed hotel.
A Sinhalese and a Japanese lady run this. There are 12 rooms, and while giving the massage, the lady asks for a tip of 10, for sex. One satisfied custome explains his experience at this massage parlour. Its worth your pay at counter for Rs.
Then you pay a tip of Rs. There were some young ones too. Gave her Rs β she shows me her chestβ¦ it was another Rs for more action. The above commenter exclaimed that he was far from satisfied and felt he was ripped off. Similarly, many of the commenters on the website shared the singular opinion that local women were a cheap but b not worth the trouble. Following the recent arrest of two Chinese prostitutes, it was found that there are in fact many Chinese prostitutes in Colombo.
