Researchers have many reasons for inquiring about the frequency of various sexual behaviors. The main method that researchers utilize is surveys. Describe the advantage between contemporary surveys compared to Kinsey's original survey. Explain one of the main limitations of both the Kinsey survey and contemporary surveys.

Contemporary surveys have an advantage given that Kinsey did not try to interview a random sample of the population because he assumed that most people would refuse to cooperate. One main limitation of Kinsey's survey and contemporary surveys is that people's self-reports are not entirely accurate. Even when they try to be honest, their memories about frequency of sexual activity grow blurry, and they often overstate their consistency of practicing safe sex.
