I have a few questions regarding the sale of sex in Taiwan. First, is it legal? I read the Apple Daily and it frequently discusses Salons being raided by cops, and prostitutes from China and Nam. Also, whats with the love motels if it is illegal? How can this society seem so conservative on one hand, with these sexual underpinnings everywhere? Please explain. KTV girls are no different than high end strippers in the states.
Its not their job to give you a happy endingβ¦but they will be happy to if you give them the cash. Under the Social Order Maintenance Act, which went into effect in early November, prostitution was legalized in red-light districts; however, no local governments have been willing to establish these zones, effectively keeping prostitution illegal throughout Taiwan, CNN reported.

By that I mean a lot of things are technically illegal on the books, but they selectively enforce what they choose. When I took my TW drivers license test was amazed at how strict the driving test was done I have rantings on this subject in the car area , they cut you no slack, super strict enforcing the rules, but when you drive down any street, well you can see for yourself, no enforcement.
They have strict laws on licenses for bars, restaurants, and other businesses. Here in Taichung a few years ago there was a deadly fire in a night club in which 9 people died. They then went and did all the building and license inspections and shut down businesses, most of them had no license at all.
Then when the owners legally applied, they refused to give them a license, often telling them there were too many of those types of businesses that neighborhood. As for the KTVs and others, do not be surprised to see some off duty policemen going there after hours who just love to sing. Just dig a little deeper and you will be suprised maybe shocked⦠what you will come across here. Taiwan shows a lot of hypocriteism. But so are teaching demos.
