Cross-cultural studies of sexual behavior find that between 3% - 20% of men report having sex with other men. Which of the following is a reason why we cannot rely on these percentages to get an estimate of the prevalence of male homosexuality?

Question

All of the reasons listed are correct. Sexual behavior with other men does not necessarily indicate homosexuality as some men may engage in same-sex encounters for reasons other than sexual orientation. Additionally, cultural taboos may lead to underreporting of same-sex behavior, and cultural prohibitions around extramarital sex may lead some men to seek out male partners. Therefore, relying on reported percentages of same-sex behavior among men may not accurately reflect the prevalence of male homosexuality.
