Sex reins supreme in my country.

Lack of proper and timely sex related education in Nepali schools too has contributed to the emergence of sex related problems and diseases here. It is altogether a different matter that though the Nepali society as yet has plenty of reservations (taboos) pertaining to the sex matters but yet the country is flourishing in the flesh trade by leaps and bounds.

Prostitutes, if they be called unfortunately, in their early teens could well be seen in numbers, I am told, at particular corners of the capital district. Taxi drivers are supposedly the unofficial pimps of this trade. Police men have it that the girl-prostitute even if caught red-handed simply say that sheer poverty, as claimed by the girls, in her family forced her to embrace this ugly profession. And this reasoning sounds not the otherwise. Any sane person who knows about Nepal and her poverty stricken population could understand the girl’s self admission. It is altogether a different matter that the “sex-girls” thus apprehended by the policemen become the victim of the police men itself. Very recently admitted a sex-girl that while she was ferried to Hanuman Dhoka, she sensed that the police fingers were slowly touching the very sensitive and delicate part of the said girl. Thus the policemen enjoy free sex. They don’t have to pay for all what they do in “private”.

If some join this oldest trade by compulsion, it is equally true that girls belonging to the so-called high-society or even from the middle class family are in this trade as call girls which they take simply as a fun. If this is so, then it would not be very difficult to guess the high rates of the STD cases in the country.

Add to this the easier access or to the availability or pornographic films in CDs and Video cassettes to the boys in their teens which also apparently has contributed to the involvement of the said boys in the flesh trade. The CDs definitely arouse excessive interest in sex matters which perhaps forces the boys to enjoy it at least for once. And they get partners from the opposite sex. And if it is once then the number thus goes on increasing until the boy is told that he is suffering from some sex related diseases. The boy or for that matter the girl rushes then either to the health clinics or jumps into a pond.

Coming back to the main topic let me tell you that some five years ago a girl, perhaps a lady, was pounced by a group of sex maniacs’ right inside one of the prestigious rooms of the Elders, the National Assembly of the bygone era to be more precise, inside Singh Durbar campus. The sexual interaction presumably stretched even to "unearthly hours" of that particular fateful night. Whether the lady joined the affair on her own or was simply forced to entertain those involved in the entertainment, if it were, is not known. What is the fact is that this ugly affair happened inside the prestigious building of the Elders.

The Nepali press then had raised this issue and had also demanded a thorough probe but then every thing subsided as if nothing had happened.
