Not all parents do this with their kids. It's certainly not the way I was brought up and nor is it the way I intend to raise junior.
Sex is part of life, and the less children know about it, the more curious they are to find out about it for themselves first hand.
I just can't see the problem in explaining to a four year old that the lions on the discovery channel are making baby lions and that the word you use to describe that is 'mating'.
To be honest, I'd have a harder time explaining why Arnie is gunning people down with an automatic weapon (I'm thinking the answer is something like, 'Because he's not very clever and hasn't worked out that violence doesn't solve anything') but a lot of parents these days seem happier to have their kids see that kind of behaviour than anything remotely sexual.
