Guests at the Love Lomas Pousada in the Amazon city of Belém receive an email from reception before check-in with two questions, one conventional, the other ​unforeseen.

“Could you kindly let us know what time you expect to arrive at our establishment,” the message reads. “And one other thing, our rooms feature erotic chairs. Would you like to have it removed?”
