What's interesting is that in a lot of countries, the average age at which kids start having sex is lower than the legal age of consent.


I think the average age is around 12-13-14 nowadays, in almost every single part of the world, but I pretty much doubt it goes lower than that.

When I was  doing my University degree in sociology back in 2009, the average age of initiating sex here in Australia was 16. Though obviously you have to question the accuracy of results like that as people are prone to lie.

16 is legal in most states, but in New South Wales, the most populous state, 17 is the age of  consent, meaning the average person there starts having sex before it is legal.
