This is a topic that can go on forever and ever. In college, there are entire four credit classes dedicated to study this topic, particularly for future healthcare workers.
Goals:
Teach children that sexuality needs to be safe.
Teach children that sexuality is good and healthy as designed by God.
Teach children that when we break God's laws, we hurt someone else and our future. Dishonesty is harmful.
Teach children that self-control is key to happy healthy sexuality. Including the ability to not 'lust' after pornographic images and webpages.
Teach children that we should not touch a person whom we are not betrothed to or married to in a 'special way'
Teach children that we should use and read the bible daily to help us love our first spouse.
These topics of conversation can start at age eight and go on until the child has reached marriage. Before age eigĥt, teach general safety and where adults or other should not touch.

When the child has reached betrothal and marriage age, they may read the book 'intended for pleasure' by Ed Wheat. But do not read the book until then, as it could spark too much curiosity where it is not needed.
All in all, a child should not be practicing sexual things until they can build and live in their own home.
