Condom use in Australia varies, with surveys showing lower rates among young people compared to past years, despite awareness of STIs; recent data suggests many young Australians (around 75%) have had sex without condoms, especially with regular partners, while around a third of single adults skipped protection entirely in the past year, indicating a gap between knowledge and consistent practice, especially with rising STI rates.

More positively, the clitoral orgasm was labeled as a reliable companion, and viewed as easier to reach and more controllable than other kinds of orgasms: “The clitoral orgasm is the most pleasurable for me because I know what I like and how I like it, so I'm more likely to orgasm and have a sense of achievement” (No.
