Is kids sex knowledge at early age fine?

Yesterday my daughter told me about a big girl telling her about the kids sex and also the pleasure of it. I was shocked to hear it from my 5 year old daughter. I don't know who this girl is in her school but want my kid to be safe from her. I don't know whether she has experimented it or not but I am so damn confused on how to deal with the situation. I don't want to traumatize my girl that this is very bad or something she should be ashamed of, but don't know how to talk with her about this topic, though the girl seems has given a lot of knowledge on this to my girl. Should I tell her briefly about it? Will it make her more excited about it? I need your help ladies on how to overcome this situation.

I feel your daughter is too smallto know all about sex and sexuality. There is a certain age for understandingabout sex and the pleasure you attain from it. At a tender age of five she won’tbe having any hormonal balance that can lead her to sexual fantasy. So, youneed not to worry about that.

You can better go for a counselingsession and ask her all that she knows about sex and sexuality. And then try torubbish her words, which I am sure if you do she would also forget. As a fiveyear old child doesn't know what’s right and what’s wrong. Wait for her rightage to come then you can sit with her and discuss in details about sex. Butnow, according to me the time is not right and she is just a child.

But, there are also someexceptional cases that become mature prior to their age. Few kids of five yearseven masturbate, can you believe. But, yes this is the fact. Time is changingand it is our responsibility to help the kids deal in the right way.
