Thank you for your question.
This is the most current ASA guideline for intimate examinations: https://www.sonographers.org/publicassets/cf41bf67-4f90-ec11-9107-0050568796d8/UPDATE---PUB_0602_GUIDELINE-Intimate-examinations-Consent-and-Chaperones-Jan22.pdf
Additionally, ASUM do not list this as a contraindication either: https://www.asum.com.au/files/public/SoP/curver/Obs-Gynae/Gynaecological-GL-2020.pdf
Patients should be above 18 as a legal informed consent must be obtained. But there is no specific requirement to exclude those who are not sexually active.
As always, Sonographers should adhere to their department protocols.
