Graphic enough to get the lesson across, depending on the age level of who is being taught. Nature gave us bodies - we shouldn't be ashamed of them.

When I was a nanny, I got sex questions from time to time. The kids' mom taught me a great trick. It still works for me now, in my work with brain damaged adults who sometimes have all sorts of questions.
Game face. Try not to let them shock you.
First thing when you get a question is to ask them what THEY think it is, what happens, how it happens, why it happens. You will get a good feel for where they are. Then you can say..."Um, not exactly." or "You are exactly right!"
You also answer exactly that question, you can be general and do not ramble. Just stick to the facts, Mom...but in a friendly way that lets kids know you are grateful they came to you, and that the topic is an open discussion. This way...if a kid naturally has the insight to know what to ASK, then you can be fairly sure they are ready for the answer. When they stop asking questions, YOU stop giving information. Period.
"Where do babies come from?" Parents.
"How does it get in the mother's belly?" The dad puts it there.
"He puts a baby in the mom's belly?" No. He gives the mom some sperm and it mixes with her egg and it grows into a baby.
"HOW does he give it to her?" (aaaaaaaaaaarhghg! you may be tempted to just cut to the chase! "In your case, it was in the hot tub of the Holiday Inn after the Dave Matthews show in Houston!"....but persevere...he uses his penis to send the sperm into the mom's body so it goes to the right place.)
If you are referring to school. I think most sex ed curriculum is for 5th grade. Personally, I think it should be about simple biology for upcoming body changes. And a little bit of teaching sensitivity toward the opposite sex and their changes. Leave the morals and the details OUT of it.

It shouldn't be. when the time comes, they will figure it out like we did. I'd say the bananna and condom should be as far as it goes.
