Kids shouldn’t be thinking about sex at all
Did you not think about sex when you were in your teens, or do you not believe teens are kids? Either one is kind of weird, no?
Like, what age do they do sex ed where you are?

I think of infants/babies from 0-1, children/ from 1-12, and teens from 13-19. And they don’t do sex ed where I’m from. I’m 42, and still my dad doesn’t think I’m old enough for the talk. But if I were a parent, I’d probably do it around age 14. Enough time that they’ve felt some of puberty, and enough to understand what I’m talking about, but young enough that they haven’t done something stupid yet. Last thing you want is for you to sit down your 8 year old kid, and try to have the talk, only for them to react with “eeewww cooties!” And for a kid? Yeah. That would be the correct response.
