There’s nothing wrong with sex education, even for quite young children, as is now being proposed. It’s understandable that we don’t want to invade their innocence, but they’re going out into a world where they need to be informed and forewarned.
Children who grew up on farms were introduced to what was called “the facts of life” naturally. They knew all about bringing the filly to the stallion (and thus had few illusions about how fierce a shot of animal testosterone could be). I remember a farmer’s daughter telling me about “lesbian cows”, which, me being city-bred, came as a surprise to me. Yes, there were indeed cows who sought intimacies with each other rather than respond to the bull (bulls were not known for their finesse, anyway).
