personally, I'm of the mind that kids are better off seeing and learning about it early on. knowledge is power. better than being left in the dark and then finding out "on the streets" as it were.
when I was 6 I learned about sex. my mom was calm about it and just asked me "how did you think it worked, silly?" that's what I get for watching animal planet.

I was very sheltered growing up. So I guess I don't know how it really affects a child. I remember my mom not letting me watch a movie with my 14 year old brother because she didn't want to "tell him what a b*****b was".
I can see how it could be good to explain to them early though. Especially since there are a lot of people who could easily take advantage of a naive young mind.
yeh. I mean it can be awkward and scary to tell a child what it means to do so and so... but it isn't like a parent needs to detail every little thing right away. just that I think being a prude realy is taking it too far (pardon the wording).
the biggest danger I have seen as far as sexual education goes is lack of it, especially when they get older. and not to mention the complete sepperation of gender when it comes to sexual education. I benefitted so much from reading up on the puberty handbooks for both genders.
