  • Shooting from the hip. Numerically age 13 (seventh grade).
    I do not trust government schools. They want to sexualize children.
    If there were some sort of G-rated indicator...
    When periods start.
    When pubic hair arrives.
    When boneurs and wet dreams start happening.

    But how would you know that?
    I think sex ed should come from parents and they should step up and do it.
    Am earnest discussion of biology and the social aspects and consequences of sex is imperative.
    I think every teen girl should be required to read this.

  • Sex education should begin with simple answers to any questions. For instance a young boy will notice mom does not look like him, and it should be explained that we have women and also men, and that is the way each looks. That will answer the question and satisfy him at that time, but does not require giving too much info. As he asks more of the why questions, you can give more technical answers.
    You will listen to your child closely enough to hear if there are underlying questions that need to be dealt with. When you see that there is deeper interest than the question asks, you can get more detailed.

    • I like this idea. ♥️

  • I'd say as soon as curiosity about the other gender comes up. You can do sex education in parts. There's no need to do all of it together and confuse the child. Answering questions will encourage the child to ask for more when it grows up too... If you teach them that sex is something natural they will be more open to talk about it.
    In general education regarding stds and pregnancy is better done sooner rather than later. And with kids today getting pregnant at 12 I'd say 10 is a good age...

    • I love this method of teaching for children. Step by step. Thanks for the insight♥️

  • I feel like 10 is too soon but with all the tech. & vids at their grasp at ANY age now I'd say the proper age would be entering highschool (: 13-14 😊 (Although, they may already know some things before that as I've experienced with hearing the middle school students since I'm a tutor) BUT still feel like 13 would be the age where they could "comprehend" & feel more comfortable asking/hearing about it.

    • Love this perspective. 13-14 are ages where children have already accomplished many different Milestones. So they will definitely understand and comprehend the sex lessons better. Great post👏👏👏👏

    • Aw thank youu! (: I've been working as a tutor for 3 years now, so I feel like I understand them a lot better now & know which angle in some instances would get them to open up a bit more, of what might be troubling them (of their homelife/life in general) (':

  • I think early teens is a good age to teach sex.

  • Children start Sex Education before they even start school by playing the you show me yours I'll show you mine game. So really the most basics should start even earlier than 10 but Education Districts will never go for that. So age is the latest they should start it. Stop having kids learn on the streets from friends and whoever...

    • Showing each other at a young age is generally just satisfying curiosity and does no harm. They are just seeing the difference and not learning about the actions.

    • But it is Sex Education. Sex Education starts with Anatomy.

    • Sex education yes, but not learning problem stuff which your opinion seemed to say.

  • It is best to just be open and talk about everything from an early age, as appropriate when a question comes up.

    • ♥️♥️♥️

  • About 5th or 6th grade. Kids hear a lot of stuff ( I did) and some can even find it on the internet at a very young age.

    • FACTS 💯

  • I had it at school around the age of 10

    • Dang I wish they did that in my schools. We had sooooooo many teen pregnancies in middle school. It's was ridiculous. Seeing these young girls pregnant scared the crap out of me. Like that will NEVER be me. 😫😫😫

    • Lol I ended up pregnant at 17 anyways but there were younger ones also. Teaching it young doesn't prevent pregnancy lol

    • 17 is better than 13 that's for sure👍

  • the sooner the better...

    • Agreed!!! ♥️

  • 9 - 10 is a good age. I started masturbating at 10 and that led to me looking things up at that age itself and you can probably guess where it went. No, there's no sex-ed here. So it's a good age to start the talk

    • OMG kids are definitely getting introduced to porn at young ages. I had A LOT of cousins and all of them were older and a bad Influence. 😱

    • Oh yeah. And since I looked it up myself I ended up getting bad influences a lot

  • I think 12 since that's when I see periods typically start, and kids are going through puberty and all. It's just a good time

    • Sounds like a good age ♥️

  • I believe age 9 + cause that is when some Females start having their
    menstrual cycles.

  • 10.
    At least with the girls, educate them so they know what a period is, so they're not suprised

    • Omg yessssss!!! I was so prepared for my period before I got it. I had slightly older cousins who all got theirs before mine. They would tease me saying I was still a kid and not a woman until I had one. When I finally got it I threw it in their faces. I know I got issues LMAO 😆 *To clarify I didn't throw blood just a "aha" I am a woman you guys can suck it. 🤣😂

    • I knew what you meant. I told my younger cousin about it when she asked. She was like 7 at the time. When she went and told her mum, my aunt, my aunt says to her "shes lying, dont believe her" I still dont understand why you would tell your daughter I'm lying when you know for a fact I'm not.

    • That's so weird. And counterproductive for the child. 🤦

  • I think 10 is about right

    • Thanks for taking the time to post! Always good feedback ♥️

    • And thanks for posting such good and real life questions darling I always enjoy reading n replying to your posts

    • Thank You!!! I always hope my content is fun and different for the readers. 🥰

  • Whenever the kids start to ask about it.

    • Perfect 👌

  • I learned about that when I was in 6th grade, I think it's appropiate. If kids get curious before, then that's what parents are for. Parents should take their responsability and do their part.

    • Parents definitely should shoulder the responsibility of informing their children about sex. 👍👍👍

  • My dad and I had the talk when I was 12 and then I learned about it in 7th grade. My mom taught me how it all starts and ends.

    • That's awesome!!! They kept you informed before becoming sexually active. 😊

    • He and I had the talk after he and my mom caught me looking at porn but before my mom gave me a bath.

  • I think maybe 12 or 13. Boys and girls are going through puberty and they’ll have questions. I think it's dumb that out of shame parents don't have those discussions and wait till the kids are 20 with 2 kids of their own 🙄

    • You are sooooooo righttttt 👏👏👏👏

  • I say 13

  • i would say at 10 for sure

  • Sexual education have different stages. Kids learn the basic (knowing their genitals, their medical terms, how they function, how to maintain them clean and avoid infections, how to prevent a sexual abuse, how to identify a sexual abuser, etc).

    Then teens see other topics like gender diversity, etc, etc, etc... Then adults see other aspects that in some cases has to do with how to achieve a satisfying sexual life.

  • I think 10 is a little young but it's close. My personal belief is 12 when puberty is lighting fires everywhere and you can start to understand what you're being taught.

  • Since girls are starting their periods sooner, sex Ed needs to start sooner as well. 10 would have been ideal for me

    • Same here. Thanks for replying ♥️
