Co., Everett, WA Lines: 11 I agree with Penny. 5 or 6 is a little young to understand some of the most salient parts of sexual intercourse, like responsibility and respect (of course 18 might still be too young |-)). My daughter is 3 1/2 and she knows that men and women (girls and boys for her) are different physiologically and what most of the implications of those differences are. I believe that she is well (and properly) informed for her age. I hope this is still true when she is 15 and I intend to do my part to see that it is. Peter Barbee
