Although when I visited Brasil, while a (?very) Catholic country seemed to have a very fluid sense of sexuality, at least the ability to participate in "gay" sex to varying degrees without much, if any, guilt. I suppose perhaps the guys' act of contrition was the cash going into their pockets. It would be interesting to find out from Latbear4blk (who I believe is from Argentina, another very Catholic - although Spanish rather than Portuguese origins) if Argentina has the same sort of sexual fluidity.
