"Let's talk about you and me!"
I'm not sure. Kids know so much more so much earlier these days. I will judge it based on how things are as she gets older. If I'm worried about her learning too much from peers at school I will go ahead and give her all the details myself.

Umm maybe 13. Geez maybe I shouldn't have asked this ? its to hard. lol. My baby is never gonna have sex (breaks the computer and runs off crying)
Sadly 13 is WAY too late these days. By middle school kids know EVERYTHING. I used to nanny and the 3rd! grade boy I kept came home and filled me on popping cherries. He learned it on the bus.

I also hate that sex is made out to be a bad thing. That is the number one reason so many young girls end up pregnant in my opinion. Kids are taught that sex is bad.... so when the rebellion comes along it's just another thing to add to the long list of "things I'm not supposed to do".
Sex is a beautiful thing. And it should be treated as such. My daughter will just be raised to know that there is a proper time for it to occur. But she will never be taught that it is a bad thing.
With all of this said.... I was raised on the same philosophy, and I've only had 2 sexual partners.

Oh I didnt mean it in a bad way. Of course we can not stop it so why fight it. Were planning on talking to her and just hope she doesnt decide to have sex at 13 just when she's ready for herself not anyone else. I remember the thought of sex was disgusting when i was young and knowing people did it especially my parents i felt like puking. Not anymore thankfully.
This, exactly. My parents were very open about sex and that it should be a special thing. My husbands parents were not.
I want my child to know that sex is not dirty and that it is something to be cherished!
DSD is 7 and I talked with DH about when we'd approach the subject of periods & sex. He was," well those don't start until 14ish so we've got time." I laughed and explained some 8-9 year old are getting AF. His face was priceless! We'll start explaining changes and all that within the next year or so. How no one touches you or sees certain body parts,etc.
With DS I'll explain things as he grows. We'll use appropriate anatomical terms for body parts. This way breast,penis, testicles, vagina aren't giggle triggers in sex education. At 3-5 all he needs to know is mommy carries baby. At 11-13(guessing age) it takes mommy and daddy to make a baby. All age appropriate answers.
My mother was a ob/gyn nurse she had an 11 year old pregnant patient. So I don't think you can ever start too early.
