Well of course. Sexual education should really be an ongoing process, not just one info dump 'talk'. No one is going to remember everything from one talk on one occasion. Probably starting with the basic biology stuff and then gradually discussing different concepts is a good idea.

I think the only thing my mom said to me when I was little was that sex should be with someone you love, that you should always be careful, and to tell her if anyone hurt me. And that I could always ask her any questions I had.

The schools and the internet took care of the rest. As well as such books as Gerald's Game. Why was I reading that as a kid? I don't know.

Also, I used to know so many dirty jokes when I didn't really understand what they meant. And now I have forgotten them.

You know that really depends on your definition of kinky. I imagine that for some people missionary is kinky. It's not like there's some concrete boundary separating 'kinky' and 'normal', it's pretty much completely culturally determined.

True, true. It still seems to me that going beyond the biological aspect of it and the associated risks and safety precautions would be more than a typical child could take in at once. Of course, it all depends on the kid. This is hardly concrete. If you've got a child who can pay attention for more than an hour then by all means keep going once that hour's done. Nothing to stop you.

Lethal gave the minister some 'ed?

That sounds ever so unhygienic.

Kinky is doing it without the sheet with the hole.

Also, you're probably going to want to let your kids know that sex can and does happen between same sex people and even more than two people, so I guess sodomy (the definition of which includes oral sex by the way), kinky or not is going to have to come into it somewhere.

Ed's classier than that. He just got me really drunk.

I don't remember when I had sex-Ed in school. I just remember that I happened to be sick for one of the two days. Mostly I was self taught.

When my brother and I were about ten and eleven we were on a long drive to visit my grandfather with my dad. About half an hour in he attempted to the start the talk. After about fifteen minutes of stammering, stalling, umming and aaahing, we figured out where he was headed. His extreme discomfort clearly recognizable, I piped up that they teach us all about it in school now and he just said, "Thank god" and we spent the remaining two hours of the drive in silence.

I would think it would be best to at least lay down the basics pretty early. Some of the ridiculous stuff I heard when I was a kid could have led to at least great embarrassment if I hadn't been educated otherwise at early age. This was all pre-internet. I don't know if the internet would have made it better or worse, I'm guessing worse in most circumstances. The sex-ed in my schools was not fantastic, but they started with basic human biological reproduction stuff in 5th grade (9 to 10 years old). They didn't really get into the more serious stuff like STDs and family planning until we were 14 or 15 though.
