In 2019 Australia's national broadcaster, the ABC, in conjunction with the University of Melbourne and the private polling company Vox Pop Labs conducted a large survey into the lifestyles, health, political beliefs, values and economic status of Australians.

They found that 40% of Australians polled aged 18-24 reported 'never' having sex and 8% reported no sex in the last year, with 16% 'preferring not to say'. The corresponding figures for those aged 25-29 were 21% reporting 'never' having sex, 7% reporting having it less than once a year, with 5% of respondents refusing to answer the question.<ref>https://archive.is/akbdv</ref> | ||
More men in the 18-29 age range reported being sexless than women in the corresponding age bracket, with this gender divide in sexlessness being most pronounced among those aged 25-29, with 28% of men that age being sexless in the last year compared to 16% of women. The gender gap in sexlessness in the previous year in the 30-39 age bracket was tiny (if this gap is even statistically significant, there were also more female virgins than men in this age bracket) and women above that age were more likely to be sexless in the last year than men. | |||
This data seems to indicate that women in the 25-29 age bracket in Australia are likely disproportionately either dating older men or engaging in informal polygynous relationships with males, with little evidence of a severe gender skew in the sexlessness in other age brackets. | More men in the 18-29 age range reported being sexless than women in the corresponding age bracket, with this gender divide in sexlessness being most pronounced among those aged 25-29, with 28% of men that age being sexless in the last year or ever compared to 16% of women.

This data seems to indicate that women in the 25-29 age bracket in Australia are likely disproportionately either dating older men (as these are the men that are the most sexually active) or engaging in informal polygynous relationships with males of their own age bracket, with little evidence of a severe gender skew in the sexlessness in other age brackets. | |||
In contrast to other data from countries like the US, and despite the substantial amount of sexless young people in Australia, there is not much evidence of large secular increases in sexlessness rates among Australian youth, with the self-reported age of sexual debut (among those who have sex) seemingly changing little over the decades since a sharp decrease subsequent to the [[sexual revolution]].<ref>https://www.publish.csiro.au/sh/SH14113</ref> | In contrast to other data from countries like the US, and despite the substantial amount of sexless young people in Australia, there is not much evidence of large secular increases in sexlessness rates among Australian youth, with the self-reported age of sexual debut (among those who have sex) seemingly changing little over the decades since a sharp decrease subsequent to the [[sexual revolution]].<ref>https://www.publish.csiro.au/sh/SH14113</ref> | ||
