Abstract

The government's forced sexuality setting takes place almost everywhere in Indonesia. Local governments ratify it with various policies through local regulations. Any illegal fulfillment of sexual desire is instantly wiped out. Whereas usually when the fulfillment of this desire eradicated, even transformed into various forms of efforts to fulfill the desire in free sex and the practice of prostitution that can't be rejected. This research was located in Bandung City to study phenomenology 'sexuality and relation with governmental power. Researchers identify in this city there are women sex workers who are quite a lot. The results showed that there are at least three forms of prostitution in Bandung: Permanent, Open, and Covert. Until now, although the city of Bandung has closed Saritem a prostitution site that stands permanently standing, and handling prostitution through Regional Regulation No. 3 and 11 of 2005 on Orderliness, Beauty, and Hygiene. However, all these attempts failed to address the three forms of prostitution. The closure of Saritem and the capture of a prostitute woman could not solve this problem. Because prostitutes are just victims of poverty and helplessness born from the host's womb, which is fertilized by the pimp's sperm. So in fact prostitution is a child of injustice resulting from the dark relationship of pimping affairs with the power of the government.
