So you think this is normal? Boyfriends and girlfriends can’t have sex with one another? You just wait until you are married and you have one sexual partner? You’re supposed to govern a country of 250 million with hundreds of cultures this way? Sorry but this is insane.
Correct, that is the mentality of majority of Indonesian, I would say around 98 % (Muslim and Christian/Catholic/Hindu/Budish) will likely think like that. In Indonesia, the term used for that is "kumpul kebo" or in rough interpretation it means animal sex activity as kebo in here means cow.
I would give you another example to examine our society. Unlike in US or European countries where the society is split over abortion, in Indonesia it is pretty much large majority of people condemn abortion, abortion is only allowed in Indonesia for the life safety of the mother (medical situation).
You will put in jail as well here in Indonesia if you do abortion in here, and the doctor will be put into jail as well, even the hospital or medical center who did that can be criminalized as well if the management show there is connection between the abortion activity and the management of the hospital/medical center.
Unlike in Western society, we are rejecting LGBT as well here but we dont criminalize them though, but the LGBT idea is rejected in here completely. I mean the idea.
