I believe that it is. But I also believe that is the natural progression of things. Im afraid to even think what it will be like when my grandkids are born all things considered. Soon they will be back to marrying off kids at 13 again. It's odd how things always come full circle...

Of course, but once children start to explore sexuality, preventing exposure to sexuality can damage then just as badly.

No, It may not be appropriate, but in and of itself it is not damaging.

Only if its something that gives them the wrong impression of what it should really be about. And of course it depends on the child's age.

It depends on the exposure, I think. If a kid walks in on a loving encounter between his/her parents, then no, but exposure to pornography can be very damaging - not to mention molestation! Yes, there are things in between and those really depend on the impact and aftermath of the occurrence. I do not think there is really a clear cut answer on this.

No. Children who are raised with knowledge of sexuality as a normal part of life don't grow up to see it as nasty, weird, or threatening. They also don't get surprised by pregnancy or STDs. Our society has decided that children need to be sheltered and so have turned sexuality into something apart from ordinary life, instead of the natural and healthy part of life that it is. How do you suppose cultures that live with several generations in one room dealt with it? Sex doesn't stop happening. And the children grow up balanced and whole.

I think if it is not explain to them in the right way it can be damaging. Too much misinformation is often given and this gives them the wrong impression. I think because this sort of thing is mainly kept from children and made to seem taboo that is why so many have issues with it when they grow up.

I do not believe so. It is natural and the earlier they learn about it the less naive they will be to it and the more open. Though that may be coming from a girl who had her mind damaged as a child. ^-^
