Of all the time I spent in the Philippines, I didn't notice any difference than here in the States. Of course, I wasn't seeking out that kind of attention either.
It is the exact same all over the world in every country, if you are seeking out that kind of "lifestyle" you will find it no matter where you are.
I think this article is hugely exaggerating by labeling certain countries hot spots or whatever term you want to use. The truth is certain destinations have been more glamourized than others, Thailand is a good example by the red district making it into the movie "The Hangover" as an example.
