It should start in 4th grade. Thanks to the exposure that kids are getting today, there are more and more children in the late grades of elementary school that are having their first sexual encounters.
I do think it should begin being discussed / instructed early and every year afterward. And yes, it is a bit much how everything is more sexualized than ever (focusing on "how females should appear"). In recent years, even toddlers have been sexualized in beauty pageants. In TV, ads, video games, musical performances - sexuality is the focus, so that even before children know what it means, they might mimic this.
See, this is a big problem. Many parents do not want to discuss Sex or being careful with kids, some expecting them to abstain. Or that religion will be expected to dictate what their children's actions and outcomes will be.
Bottom line is how someone wants to raise their children is none of your business unless it's an illegal activity. Trying to force sex education onto their kids is no different than if they were trying to prevent you from giving it to yours.

Sex education is optional in most catholic schools in my area with the parents permission, seems like a little education goes a long way to make our society better.
