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.


Though, really, "age of consent" is such a loosely term. Two of about 15 having sex isn't a crime, as long as it is (obviously) consent between the two. I think it has more to do with minors with adults, but I'm really not so sure.

True, but a lot of kids having sex at 15 are having it with 18/19/20 year olds.
