When I was a just about ten I heard about erections (and sex is general) from a sex education class in school, from what I heard I though that the penis would stick straight DOWN when aroused. I was seriously concerned about this because I simply could not figure out how reproduction could be accomplished unless the woman was standing on her head.
I think that ten is too young for sex ed.
