There is also evidence that the likelihood of engaging in penetrative sex among Year 12 students (generally aged 17-18) has been increasing steadily since the early 90s, in contrast to data from the United States.<ref>http://teenhealth.org.au/resources/Reports/Secondary%20Student%20Survey%20Report%20-%20Trends%20Over%20Time.pdf</ref> | There is also evidence that the likelihood of engaging in penetrative sex among Year 12 students (generally aged 17-18) has been increasing steadily since the early 90s, in contrast to data from the United States.<ref>http://teenhealth.org.au/resources/Reports/Secondary%20Student%20Survey%20Report%20-%20Trends%20Over%20Time.pdf</ref> | ||
However, there is some evidence of slightly greater male sexlessness in this age bracket, either due to a greater tendency towards an uneven distribution of sex among men or women prefer to date slightly older partners (who wouldn't be included in the diachronic analysis). This trend is more pronounced among women, perhaps indicating a small shift towards polygynous mating among younger people, or perhaps just evidence of increasing female [[promiscuity]] (due to the female tendency to prefer slightly older men, so college-age men in this instance) as this trend does not appear to be very pronounced. | However, there is some evidence of slightly greater male sexlessness in this age bracket ''vis-a-vis'' women (the actual rate has remained fairly steady over time), either due to a greater tendency towards an uneven distribution of sex among men or women prefer to date slightly older partners (who wouldn't be included in the diachronic analysis).

As Australia lacks extensive, representative, annual surveys into the sexual behavior of the population, any population-level trends towards increasing sexlessness are hard to discern, though there does seem to some evidence for a recent increase in sexlessness that is particularly pronounced among men in their 20s when one compares the lifelong sexlessness figures in the ABC survey and the figures reported in the second Australian Study of Health and Relationships, which reported a virginity rate of 10% men in their 20s compared to the figures from the ABC survey which found 40% of men aged 19-24 and 21% of men aged 25-29 reported they 'never' had sex.<ref>https://www.ashr.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/sex_in_australia_2_summary_data.pdf</ref> | As Australia lacks extensive, representative, annual surveys into the sexual behavior of the population, any population-level trends towards increasing sexlessness are hard to discern, though there does seem to some evidence for a recent increase in sexlessness that is particularly pronounced among men in their 20s when one compares the lifelong sexlessness figures in the ABC survey and the figures reported in the second Australian Study of Health and Relationships, which reported a virginity rate of 10% men in their 20s compared to the figures from the ABC survey which found 40% of men aged 19-24 and 21% of men aged 25-29 reported they 'never' had sex.<ref>https://www.ashr.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/sex_in_australia_2_summary_data.pdf</ref> | ||
