Mount Kemukus
Mount Kemukus or Gunung Kemukus (known as Sex Mountain)〔(Have the Good Times Come to an End at Indonesia’s ‘Sex Mountain’? ), vice.com.〕 is a hilltop Javanese shrine in Sragen Regency,〔 northeast of Solo,〔(For the Love of God ), edition.cnn.com.〕 where people from across Indonesia flock to honor a local saint. Every 35 days, rituals are conducted that involve adulterous sex.〔(An adulterous pilgrimage ), abc.net.au.〕
Conservative Muslim groups have threatened to shut down the site in the past, but police arrived to prevent it.〔(‘Sex Mountain’ Becomes A Lucrative Pilgrimage Site In Indonesia ), ibtimes.com.〕 In November 2014 the governor of the province of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo, reacted to a film by an Australian journalist, which had been broadcast by SBS One, that portrayed Mount Kumukus as 'Sex Mountain' and scandalized the local ritual practices.〔Gareth Roberts, '(Sex mountain: Married men and housewives sleep with strangers in bizarre religious ritual in Indonesia' ), ''Mirror'', 18 November 2014.〕 He issued a ban on the tradition of engaging in sex at site; he said that the local practice was hazardous in terms of health - indeed, sexually transmitted diseases in the area are on the rise〔(Central Java Governor bans ancient sex ritual on Mt. Kemukus ), thejakartapost.com.〕 - and morality, and that it was shameful that the matter had attracted the attention of the outside world.〔Ainur Rohman, '(Central Java Governor bans ancient sex ritual on Mt. Kemukus' ), ''The Jakarta Post'', 26 November 2014.〕 The ban which also prohibited renting rooms to pilgrims caused a collapse of ritual activities at Mount Kemukus with devastating effects to the local economy. The income of the 262 families, who live at Mount Kemukus, decreased by 90 per cent.〔(), ''Solo Pos'', 30 November 2014.〕 Therefore, most shops are closed and many families, who were never engaged in the sex business, have left the area.〔(Gunung Kemukus Sepi: Warga Minta Solusi ), SoloposTV.〕
==Shrine==
The shrine is that of legendary prince Pangeran Samodro, son of a Javanese king, and his stepmother Nyai Ontrowulan. Legend has it that they ran away together and lived at Gunung Kemukus. It is believed that if you do something even more shameful there, such as having adulterous sex, then you will be blessed with good fortune. It must be done on the auspicious day of Jumat Pon, when the Friday on the Gregorian calendar intersects with one of the five days of the ancient Javanese calendar.〔
The shrine attracts up to 8,000 pilgrims on the busiest nights and has an entry fee of around 5,000 rupiah (around 50 US cents).〔(Pilgrims flock to 'Sex Mountain' in search of fortune ), sbs.com.au.〕
