Sex education for 4 year olds

I don't really think sex ed should be applied to younger children

If they say it'd 'make them have safe sex when they're older', ya right, it depends on the individual. Some may have safe sex and some may not

'bout 13yo or so would be right.

I always asked mum (had no dad when I was in primary school) how babies are made. She never explained HOW, she just said 'it comes from the mummy's tummy' geeez, I was like 10 or older then. Read 'Where babies come from' but no sex diagram. In year 6, we had sex ed. That was when I learnt more about the gender 'bits' (and we were told not to show the diagram of the uterus to the boys. Stupid, if ya ask me. Of course, I 'accidentially' showed the diagram to a guy behind me, he was like OMFG.)
Eventually we had a look on 'Adam's Human Body' (a bloody good CD-ROM), that was when I first saw how babies are made. I didn't get it at first then at a closer look, that was when I realised how it happens. I was like

But in year 7, it wasn't a huge deal anymore. Ain't emotionally scarred here either. But I wish my kid bro wouldn't wave his noodle around (thank god he doesn't do it in public)

(Always avoided nappy change times lol).

Sexual education at 4 is a few year too early in my opinion, but arround age 9-10 it would be right on the money. Concidering the age of sexual concent here is 14, which is too low in my opinion but oh well, starting sex ed any later would be a bit too late. Anyway, as some have pointed out, the basics of sex and where children come from should be tought by the parents, when they find it appropriate, but it doesnt hurt the children to allso learn about it in school.

I think my father explained where children come from and how they are made to me at the age of 6. His answer was quithe thurough so I said something similar to "ok" and then moved on to think about what i had just heard, figured it out, then went on to something else a 6 year old is expected to do.
