My dad used to breed minks and foxes, so I more or less understood the concept of having babies when I was about 5 or 6 years old.
The actual "how" and "why" of plain sex didn't become apparent to me though untill I was around 12.

I was quite young. I couldn't have been older than 6. My parents never really had an issue with teaching me about sex. My mum always said she has a much bigger problem with violence than sex, even though violence is more widely "approved" of.
I borrowed a book about the digestive/reproductive/respiratory systems when I was 6, and read it with my mother. When we came to the part about the reproductive system, she explained it in a very scientific way, read the chapter to me, answered my questions, and didn't speak about it again until I was 14.
Can't remember exactly, I got curious about it at a young age though, but lost interest eventually until I got past the worst of the hormone cyclones.
I think about 11 or 12, also yay or public libraries before the time of the internet, also yay for public libraries that have interesting books explaining the subject in both a visual and scientific manner.
Also nice to have a mother that will give you a highly instructive guide book complete with pictures (which looked like it was made in the 60s without any form of restraint) around the age of 14 when it all turns rather interesting.

At about 5, found my dads dirty magazines, and it was only interesting to watch because it was such a huge taboo, but looking at it I was like... EWWWW
Then I turned 13, and I was like... AAAAA

I learned about sex in the 2nd grade, I think... In my preschool years I asked my mom what sex is. She said: "It's when two people kiss." In third grade we bought a sex magazine and brought it to school (me and a couple of pals). I don't think I need to explain the popularity we received. Anyways, we didn't even have sex-ed, although I believe children should be brought on to this subject as soon as possible...
First heard about it at around 7-8 I think. Though naturally I had no idea about the specifics back then. While we're at it, I think I started masturbating at 11-12, had my first sexual experience with a girl at 15, lost my virginity at 16.
My school gave everyone a talk about sex when we were 10. When I went home and told my parents, they bought me a book on the subject and told me to ask them about anything I was curious about. I don't really remember being aware of sex was before then, other than romantic montages in movies.
I was either 8 or 10; school started me off, my brothers gave me a very straight out version about it.
I prefer their version to be honest...because it took 2 schools to tell everyone the same stuff over and over again over the next 5 or so years

It was in year 6 at school so I was about 11. I remember the class being split into boys and girls and having to go watch a video that "explained" sex.
