Could A Real Pleasure Planet Like Risa Be Popular?

Of all the fantastic planets that explorers in Star Trek have visited, perhaps the most fun - in terms of adult sexuality - is the pleasure planet known as Risa.  Here, among scenic foliage and pristine beaches, the order of the day is pleasure - where most any kind of sexual description is enjoyed.  Risa was first showcased in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "Captain's Holiday" - where Picard had a pretty memorable adventure amid the seductive trappings of the hedonistic world.

We've had pleasure cruises and relaxing resorts for a long time here on planet Earth.  Could an even more open and pleasurable place like Risa become popular among our own populace?  Would the more religious minded or puritanical seek to forbid such a place?  Even now, places like Disneyland and Las Vegas offer their adult visitors a much more mature kind of entertainment.

One thing's for sure:  The tradition of displaying the horga'hn - or the Risian symbol of sexuality - will probably never go out of style to get desired action which the individual desires.  On Risa, it ensures the one who displays it will get amorous attention from another.  On Earth, our own notions of such similar sexual games are long on tradition - if not always on such public display.
