Temple prostitution is a widespread practice to date in india and through the middle east. Introduction of oral contraceptives and a change in sex attitudes lead unmarried women to become much more willing to have sex with men: hence, men lose incentive to visit prostitutes. Whereas 7% of men born between 1933 and 1937 lost their virginity to a prostitute, only 1. 5% of men born between 1968 and 1974 did so. Also, employment opportunities for women expanded greatly, hence the main incentive for women to work as prostitutes also is decreasing.
