HAHAHA I'm laughing because I read the exact same article, and immediately wondered if the gender ratios were still skewed favorably towards men.
Can't find any recent statistics towards the demographics of asuncion (still a small-ish city by most standards with a population of around 500,000).
According to data from 2002 (the most recent available, sadly), Sixty-five percent of the total population in the city were under the age of 30.
Here is a table from wikipedia, from the same 2002 census.
The gender ratio remains slightly favorable towards men, but I'd guess this has evened out by a bit since this census was taken, especially by looking at the (then) younger (and by now bangable) proportions of the population.
Anyway, good news is that, according to the article, odds of religion being a cockblock are surprisingly low.

Sexual relations in Paraguay have always been open: in 1545 a Spanish priest called the country “Muhammad’s paradise” after witnessing his compatriots sleeping with numerous native women, behaviour he associated with Muslims. In the mid-1800s most Paraguayan households were led by señoras, often depicted chomping cigars, carrying food on their heads and sporting white cotton dresses. They paired off with a rotating cast of itinerant men.
But even that tradition did not prepare society for the post-war free-for-all. “Men without modesty”, wrote one newspaper, “may be found even in the corridors of the Church and the cemetery, atrociously scandalising even during the day to satiate their brutal passions.” No one knows whether the intercourse in “plazas, streets and meeting places” was rape, prostitution or a result of the privileges men enjoyed because of the distorted sex ratio. Mr Lugo might not have realised quite how far sexual mores had changed. “Lugo was the cultural extension of the idea that we have to populate the country,” says Benjamín Fernández Bogado of 5 Días, a newspaper. “Having children in huge quantities wasn’t a problem. Even priests could have children.”
Great to see other horny bastards who think the way I do!
