I don't have children...but I've watched from afar as my friends and family have "raised" theirs. Sometimes I think they can't see the forrest fore the trees.

The one thing that I've always thought, even when I was young and naive, is that the more taboo it seems, the more one wants to experience it. Out of sight-Out of mind doesn't hold true with sex, in my opinion. We are human, and therefore sexual, beings. Even from a very young age, this is demonstrated. And, it's human nature to be curious about something that others seem to be witholding information about. The more information you have about it, the less you'll yearn to blindly experience it till YOU are ready. Knowledge IS power. The lack of said knowledge sends you scurrying for or gathering information...and the sources could be suspect...and the answers could be misleading.
