Don't think you should be introducing your kids to sex, you pervert.

When they start asking ? you start answering truthfully but at their level. Most kids will start asking when they start school. Some a little later. Always be honest and don't refuse to answer because you may not bet another chance as they get older and friends start giving them info.
I have told my kids what they wanted to know and also verified sex is for after marriage because it is special and should not be a 'thing' to just do. I also tell my kids they are not allowed to date until they are 16 and even at that age I still call their friends houses to make sure a parent is home or they are not allowed over there. It's not that I don't trust them, but I don't trust the other kids or their parents completely because I did not raise them.

start early...during potty training is a great time. It should be on their level. You can begin talking about their body parts and how they use them to go to the bathroom. Then progress to good touching and bad touching. Nothing formal or pressured...just during potty time or bath time or when getting ready for bed sometimes. In time, they will begin asking you questions like "how did that baby get in her tummy?" or "why do boys look different from girls?" Give them just enough for them to handle at their particular age. They don't need the "birds & bees" talk at 4.
Start the simple and open coversations early and the actual sex conversations will come more naturally. Also, by starting having these conversations at an early age, it's easy to teach kids that they can come to you and discuss anything. Always emphasize that point...that they can talk to you about ANYTHING!

You'd better start relatively early; kids are sexual creatures at very young ages.
One really good book to check out is Guide to Getting it On (Paul Joannides); there's a fine chapter on explaining sex to kids (at all ages). And it's not just the basic "birds and bees" stuff either. Great reference book, very readable and funny.
Good luck!

Talk to your child about it when they ask. I don't know about "introducing" it....
