The Queensland government has enacted stealthing laws, making the non-consensual removal of a condom during sex illegal and classifying it as rape, aligning with other states.
A 2018 study found one in three women and one in five men who have sex with men reported being victims of stealthing, highlighting its prevalence.
The newly established affirmative consent model requires free and voluntary agreement for sexual activity from someone with the cognitive capacity to consent.
Stealthing can cause significant harm, including physical risks like STIs and unplanned pregnancies, as well as psychological effects such as anxiety and depression.
