About this episode

It's a brand new year ladies and we'd love your input for our very first episode of 2024! 

Did you know the average age for someone to lose their virginity in Australia is 18 years-old? But what if, for whatever reason, you've made it well into adulthood and you’re still holding onto your v-card? 

It could be that you're waiting for marriage or the kind of person you'd want to have sex with for the very first time hasn't materialised. Whatever the reason, we would love to hear from you. And if you prefer you can be completely anonymous. Shoot an email to ladies@abc.net.au
