Erotic sculpture park? Check. Bumper cars designed like genitalia? Check. Snack bar serving aphrodisiac recipes? Check. Sex on the premises? Uh, better not.

Entrepreneurs in Brazil are seeking to build an adults-only theme park called ErotikaLand near the city of Piracicaba, about two hours’ drive from São Paulo, and they hope to open its doors by 2018. But the project is setting off debate over public displays of sexuality in Brazil, where Carnival celebrations feature scantily clad dancers and thousands of short-stay love motels strive to please an exacting clientele.

“We cannot be known as the capital of sex,” Matheus Erler, a member of the Christian Socialist Party who leads the Piracicaba City Council, told reporters. He said he was worried that the park would attract “debauched individuals.”

“Brazil Ponders an Erotic Theme Park, With No Sex Allowed”

Big deal, it sounds like the average liberal college campus.

How are they going to have a display of erotica and then enforce that “no sex allowed” — no bathrooms? Everyone take a saltpeter tablet at the admission booth?

People will be suing for by-the-quarter-hour cabanas.

Sounds more sane than just about any politician here these days.

Well, they DO have one in NYC, though they call it a museum.

Could NOT escape the subway advertisements for it, along with advertisements for many other things that seriously brought out my innermost Brooklyn RAGE.

Having said that, eh, whatever.

How crazy.

You do all you can to arouse people, but then condemn anyone acting out on that arousal???

It sounds like a bad idea-how are they are going to keep customers from boffing each other behind every tree and wall? I suppose if they made a deal with some nearby hotels/motels to offer discount coupons if someone spends a certain amount at the park, it could be a good deal for those places...

That’s what I figure. The whole thing is designed to boost business at hotels next door that they own.
