The high level of sexlessness among Australia youth seems to indicate a general slowing in [[life history]] speed, with people increasingly deferring sex and reproduction beyond their 20s, leaving many men in their late teens and 20s completely sexless. In contrast, sexlessness sharply decreases in the mid-20s onwards among women, likely as they increasingly settle down into (often serially) monogamous relationships, as many men of the same age bracket are still sexless, perhaps due to female economic [[hypergamy]] related choosiness and other factors. | The high level of sexlessness among Australia youth seems to indicate a general slowing in [[life history]] speed, with people increasingly deferring sex and reproduction beyond their 20s, leaving many men in their late teens and 20s completely sexless.

Similar to the trends found in other developed nations, there is a reasonably large gender gap (favoring women) in terms of the proportion of the population who has attained a Bachelor's degree or above, particularly among the younger generation, which may partially explain male sexlessness in these age brackets, as women have a general sexual preference for men with an equivalent or higher level of education than themselves, at least in regards to long-term relationships.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_prefer_men_with_high_income_and_high_educational_status</ref> However, it is important to note that rates of male social withdrawal and underemployment do not seem particularly pronounced in Australia compared to other countries.<ref>https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/people/education/education-and-work-australia/latest-release</ref> | Similar to the trends found in other developed nations, there is a reasonably large gender gap (favoring women) in terms of the proportion of the population who has attained a Bachelor's degree or above, particularly among the younger generation, which may partially explain male sexlessness in these age brackets, as women have a general sexual preference for men with an equivalent or higher level of education than themselves, at least in regards to long-term relationships.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_prefer_men_with_high_income_and_high_educational_status</ref> However, it is important to note that rates of male social withdrawal and underemployment do not seem particularly pronounced in Australia compared to other countries.<ref>https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/people/education/education-and-work-australia/latest-release</ref> | ||
In some Australian states, the amount of young people attaining driver's licenses has seen a secular decrease,<ref>https://chartingtransport.com/2015/03/09/trends-in-drivers-license-ownership-in-australia/</ref> mirroring trends found in other developed nations.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20150310235505/http://www.eng.monash.edu.au/news/shownews.php?nid=2&year=2015</ref> This may provide weak evidence of an overall slowing of the attainment of developmental milestones which is likely correlated with sexlessness rates and later age of first marriage. | |||
