Women hit puberty a lot sooner than men. My parents didn’t tell me anything about periods or puberty because they were religious and didn’t want to talk about it. Luckily, my school gave me sex ed the year of my first period while I was still in elementary school at age 10, so I wasn’t freaked out when I had my period and knew I needed a pad. Girls have been getting their periods even more early than that nowadays. Sex ed isn’t about just having sex or what sex is, it’s about your body and how it is developing. Then once I hit high school I was given more in depth sex ed about how to be safe, types of birth control, the menstrual cycle (which was already covered in elementary school but a good refresher), and other health topics like mental health.
I agree about teaching the ins and outs of each anatomy - like periods for girls and erections for boys. Could also teach them about pleasure - what are orgasms and how it works in the body.
But i don’t think its the right age to teach how to give each other orgasms
