Food, entertainment, factories, work, fishing, farming, shopping,get away, etc. Please do not think that Batam is a sex hole. There are plenty of people living here.
For those who think overwise, it is good to come here for a holiday, n see for yourself.

Ever since then the mentality of people that will give men a certain stare whenever the word Batam pops out.
This stares are less prominent if other Riau island names are mentioned.

Well said. I second all words.
It's very embarrassing for me to say to someone in Singapore that I go to Batam (after the first time, and the consequent stares, now I say I go to Bintan or I better don't say anything). Regrettably, saying that seems equivalent to be stamped as "sex tourist" and nothing more than that. I can only imagine what that may mean for local population. I am afraid this might push for stricter regulation of "red light" business. I hope this will not end up as it went for gambling.
Certainly, the reason I go there is how easy is for me to find a "girlfriend" for a night or a week, plus the uncountable opportunities for professional P4P.
But I do that only at night. I would not stay there one full week, if the only possible activity would be just sex. The good and cheap seafood is a second good reason. And there's much more.
