A comprehensive study conducted by La Trobe University has found that condom use among Australian teenagers has reached its lowest level in 30 years. The survey, which included nearly 4,400 secondary school students aged 14 to 18, revealed that only 50% of sexually active teens used condoms, while 10% relied on the withdrawal method for contraception. Despite over 80% having access to condoms, the findings indicate a significant gap in sexual health education. Professor Jennifer Power, who led the study, emphasized the need for improved sexual education to address teenagers' curiosity about sex, which often leads them to seek information from pornography. While the report highlighted alarming issues such as intimate partner violence—18% of teens reported experiencing physical violence—there were some positive aspects as well. Approximately 75% of sexually active respondents reported that their last sexual encounter was enjoyable, and 85% felt it was safe. However, only 44% knew where to seek practical support for sexual health issues, underscoring the urgent need for better educational resources.
