My daughter has a great book, "Dear Girl" - phrased like a sort-of sequence of mini-letters to my "dear girl" with various little nuggets: it's great to ask questions, it's ok to be different, be brave and so on. One of the pages says, "if something feels wrong, just say no, that's OK".
Similarly, that's not in this book, but we teach her it's OK if a family has "two daddies", or frankly any configuration, and so on. That it's less common but it's normal.
I consider that appropriate sex ed for a n-year old, n<=5 or so.
Surely, surely, there is a tier for 5 < n <= 10. Clearly, not "here's how you do doggie style with 4 people while allowing for BDSM tendencies". But the world is so saturated with sex you can barely buy bread without bumping into it. If we're not teaching kids, well, anything in this space, they'll just learn off school corridor banter and any glimpses of porn their older friends will show them.
