According to a study by Kinsey conducted in 1948, 69% of men had visited a prostitute sometime in their lives. Why is this estimation likely not applicable today?

a. Because women have more employment opportunities today compared with sixty years ago; today, the number of women working as prostitutes has dramatically decreased. b. Kinsey surveyed his subjects at a time when "good girls" were much less likely to engage in premarital intercourse. c. Although not outright accepted, in reality, prostitution was much more socially tolerated in the 1940s as compared with today. d. In contrast to what we see today, sexually transmitted infections were not in the forefront of men's minds in the 1940s; thus, men felt safer visiting prostitutes during the 1940s.
