English term or phrase: sexual explicitness or innuendo
Advertising critics contend that advertisements sometimes are insulting to human intelligence, vulgar, and generally offensive to the tastes of many consumers. The critics have in mind such practices as sexual explicitness or innuendo, outlandish humor, and excessive repetition of the same advertisements

referencias sexuais explícitas ou insinuações


Explanation:
I think this is the correct way of translating this sentence because "sexual explicitness" is one thing and "innuendo" is the contrary. "innuendo" is indirect, veiled allusions to sexuality (in this context - "innuendo" can be used in other situations).
