My experiences in Brazil indicate that Brazil is much less outwardly sexualized than most large U.S. cities. No strip clubs, adult video stores, sex magazines on newsstands, etc. were to be seen.
There are plenty of hourly-rate motels, though. No waiting.
I note in passing that on my last visit to Japan, there were still hourly-rate motels in downtown Tokyo. I note also the presence of high school girls in school uniforms loitering nearby these establishments. My more worldly hosts explained that these 14 to 17 year old girls turned tricks with businessmen after school hours, in return for expensive gifts or cold hard cash. As far as I could tell, nobody gave a damn about either the girls doing this, or the men, or the motels.
Sex sells. Brazil need not advertise; the government simply needs to stand aside and let commerce take place.

That joke has now been adjudged transphobic...
That park would be no fun for Muslim girls who have had their clitoris circumcised.
Sodom and Gomorrah were Sanctuary Cities.

Brazil has a lot more to worry about that this.
However, this is more fun to think and argue about than national collapse.

How were the bathrooms worked out in Sodom and Gemorrah, is the question.
