Children need to know. 

They need to find out as much as they can as fast as they can in order to arm themselves against the world.

It isn't doing them any favours to thwart their curiosity.

By all means protect them from predators, but protecting them from ideas and images is itself a form of abuse.

Do you really think children are angels? Get real. Have you forgotten everything?

Children are animals. 

I was far more depraved at six than I am now.

We teach by example...

[pop-o-pie.livejournal.com]

It doesn't matter as much what we tell children as much as it matters what we show them. We don't learn sexuality in a vacuum. It is a part of our waking reality as much as the morals, ethics and values we assimilate and the foods we like.

I totally agree.

Example is more powerful than any amount of show and tell.
