My kids, who are both teenaged girls, have no hesitation in coming to me with any questions they may have, most especially when it comes to the subject of sex. Right from when they were of a very young age, if they had any questions or concerns on the topic, I always answered them both openly and honestly and in the best way that I possibly could. The way I see it "beating around the bush" will only do more harm than good and, since they are going to learn the truth about sex sooner or later anyway, what's the point in going down that road to begin with? In my opinion, filling their heads with nonsense (at any age) is a very unwise thing to do and it will only come back to bite you in the butt someday. When I was a child, I was always told that I was delivered by the Stork and the only thing that lie did for me was get me beat up by other kids in school. Honesty is the best policy, no doubt about it.

For me, children have to be educated with sex at an early age. Sure it is a delicate subject but there are a lot of ways we can explain this topic to them. They have to know the consequences they might face before its too late.

Of course , children should be provided sex knowledge as and where it is necessary. But I think it would be better to provide sexual information when the children are above 18 years age.
