1. I chose to translated this sentence in a pretty awkward style to keep the punny relationship between this verse and the next one, since in the original the words "bom" and "bem" actually have slightly different meanings, although they would both be translated as "good" or "well". Here I replaced them with "kind". When we say that something is "do bom" we mean it's good quality, it has fine features; hence, "sex of the good kind".
