As citizens of the world, we couldn\u2019t stop at just investigating the strange sex laws in Britain<\/a> and weirdest sex fact in America<\/a>. In our efforts to educate, this time we turned out attention to Australia to see what acts the powers that be have seen fit to protect the law-abiding public from.<\/p>\n

Well, it turns out (perhaps to the surprise of no one) that Australians are pretty relaxed when it comes to sex. Give these stats about our mates down under a squiz and to see how they like to have a naughty.<\/p>\n

1. Room for One More<\/h2>\n

Australians are the most receptive to the idea of having a threesome \u2013 28% of them claim to have tried it, and 26% have it on their \u2018sex bucket list\u2019<\/p>\n

2. Tactful or Terrible?<\/h2>\n

58% of Aussie ladies are faking orgasms, but compared to the 80% figure found in British studies<\/a>, it seems they\u2019re relatively honest.<\/p>\n

3. Giving as Good as They Get<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s no shock 77% of Australians love getting oral , but 74% love giving it as well.<\/p>\n

4. Talk Aussie to Me<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re into dirty talk, you\u2019re in luck! 41.7% say they use dirty talk regularly, though you may need some help translating.<\/p>\n

5. In The Outback<\/h2>\n

With 40% saying they enjoy sex in public<\/a>, apparently Australians like to flirt with getting \u2018sprung\u2019 (caught doing something they shouldn\u2019t).<\/p>\n

6. In the Nuddy<\/h2>\n

Be aware! A majority admitted to sending and receiving nude pictures on their phones<\/a>, and a quarter have kept pictures of their exes.<\/p>\n

7. G\u2019day or G\u2019night?<\/h2>\n

Only a third answered that their sexual peak time was during the morning or day.<\/p>\n

8. What\u2019s love got to do with it?<\/h2>\n

60% believe sexual relationships are not just for people they\u2019re in love with.<\/p>\n

9. Men at Work<\/h2>\n

Less than a third have had sex with a coworker but at least 60% copped to fantasizing about it.<\/p>\n

10. Donor Under<\/h2>\n

Currently, it\u2019s illegal in Australia to pay sperm donors or to import frozen sperm. There is also limit of 10 families who can use sperm from one donor. This led to such a shortage of donors that the Reproductive Medicine Centre in Albury has advertised in Canadian university student newspapers, offering sperm donors a $7000 package including return trip, accommodation for a fortnight and a daily spending allowance.<\/p>\n
