i think it depends on the maturity of the child and the environment you are in. if they see sexual things everyday take it upon yourself to talk to them before they ask you. and you will have to have this talk on several occasions, each time being more graphic as the age and maturity progresses. i believe in showing them pictures of what STDs look like. no sugar coating it.

I would say that you should start talking to them about sex when they are around 9 or 10 years old! That's when they start watching movies that my have some sexual type scenes in it; even pg13 movies! Just ask them if they have any questions about whats going on at that particular point in the movie. You can go into details a bit later in life! I have 6 kids and have had to talk to 4 of them so far about sex!

You should always be talking to them about it. They should know what their Vagina or Penis is. As early as 3. Then a 5 or 6 year old should be able to understand the concept of pregnancy. Then as they get older we should talk to them abount safe sex, unwanted pregnancy.
The sooner, you open the door about sex the easier the conversations will happen as the children become older.
Hope this helps

I did it with my son gradually.If u always talk to him about what is going on with his day.He'll tell u something that happen with most likely a question.Like if he sees something on t.v.Age 9 or 10 is around when they get inquisitive about sex. Some later. When u have your first talk no one says u have to tell them everything. Just go by your instincts and you'll do fine.Good luck

hi,
thee is really no appropriate time to talk to you kid about sex. let him/her come to you with the question in his/her mouth. don't try to make more out of it than it is . remember that he/she came to you for answers. if you don't explain it to him/her then he/she has to believe what his/her Friends are saying and that information could be completely wrong. try to keep it were the child can understand

The first time they ask you a question about it. If they are old enough to ask they are old enough to get a truthful, age-appropriate answer.

When they catch you in the act... *blush*
I guess when they talk to you about it... or if you don't have very good communication (they won't talk to you about anything) then I'd suggest early... like 8 or 9 years old... cuz that's around when they'll be hearing it elsewhere.

I would say always. I first explanied to my son the difference in body parts then as he got older he begun to ask questions and so I just answered.
