Kids are exposed to it so early in there lives now, with social media and entertainment being quite sexualised...
There probably is not an answer we will all agree on as to what age is ideal to get sex ed.
Question to parents on here...
Would you be happy with your children learning about sex at such a young age
I was taught Sex Education in Year 6 when I was at School, so I would of been 10 or 11 at the time, been shown how to put a Condom on a Banana or Cucumber was about as graphic as it got back then, can only imagine what it would be like now.

"then came the big day fluffy and fuzzy got married, that night came the honeymoon" EWW! "she's faking it"
Any excuse to quote stuff from the Simpsons.
Obviously I wouldnt expect them to be taught the in and outs, but upon watching the News, then reading the Article itself it does make you wonder what these MPs deem acceptable, again I do think teaching Children as young as 5 is pushing it, perhaps teaching Children who are in Key Stage 2, so from Year 3 or 4 on wards would be more appropriate.
