Indonesia is ranked 12th in the world in commercial sex business profits of 2.25 US Dollars billion in 2019 (Havocscope in Liputan6.com, 2019). East Java is the second place for prostitution activities in Indonesia and the famous area of East Java is Dolly. Dolly was referred to as a village of commercial sex (prostitution and sex-oriented business) close to the city centre of Surabaya, one of the poorest areas in East Java. The community of the village known as Gang Dolly. Their commercial sex becomes an economic centre for the local community. The red-light district, this area like Amsterdam commercial sex area, almost similar. They imitated the Amsterdam commercial sex area. The Dolly become one of the famous tourist destinations for sex commercial and become the largest attraction area for sexual activities compare to other Southeast Asian countries. Actors involved in sex development at Dolly for instance local government, local community, and others. In Indonesia, the law is not applied to sex workers because they are a victim it is only applied to customers and managers (broker and others). Several factors that influence a person to become a prostitute of Gang Dolly which are poverty, sex inequality (most men do not work, and women take responsibility), low education and low skill, culture (tradition)-working as a prostitute had passed generation by generation and they are not forced by other parties, they choose prostitution as their major career willingly. One short film by the UNESA faculty has been showing during the class session about a prostitute that wants happiness through a prostitute career and a man that working as a cleaner to ensure his family happy chatting together at midnight near to roadside. Unfortunately, real happiness belongs to God, if we want real happiness, we need to ask HIM, follow all HIS rule and regulation, and stay away from HIS prohibitions in daily life and in my opinion the real happiness is when my heart is free from the conquest of my own evil lusts. It can be concluded that although the Indonesia government have shut down the Dolly and change it to a tourism destination in 2014 the Indonesia law quite confused regarding commercial sex, another side support commercial sex and another side forbid it and it very shock although they are the largest Muslim country in the world, they still do not have the ability to mitigate the issue wisely. It can be seen in one perspective define commercial sex is a good business and another perspective said commercial sex is a bad activity and illegal in some countries. But the prostitute career at Surabaya still sees as a bad career by a most Indonesian citizen. Besides, in Indonesia, there is no law for paedophilia and sexual harassment as well as no proper education sex at the academic level.
