It's a conversation few parents relish having to have to with their kids.
One day, however, said kids will start to get curious and ask questions about sex .
The days of fobbing them off with tales of storks or twee analogies about seeds will be over. You'll have to be brave and bite the bullet.
Go on, you can do it.
Happily, you can also buy them a book which handily explains the birds and the bees . If you do go down this route, then perhaps you'll come across this book:
'The Amazing True Story of How Babies Are Made'
Yes, it explains perfectly what goes into making a baby, but it also comes with some seriously graphic images, and it's divided parents.

The picture book by Fiona Katauskas poetically describes sex as being like a "jigsaw puzzle" where both parties get a "tingly, excited, very loving feeling."
But not everyone had that loving feeling for the book - and it prompted a fierce debate between parents on Facebook .
The beginning chapter is titled 'Sex and making a baby' and includes details about foreplay and quite a graphic image of a man's penis inside a woman's vagina - complete with sperm poised and ready to go.
"Seriously this is inappropriate to be in a kids section," fumed one mum.

"Omg really? There is time for all this c**p, just let kids be kids they don't need to know the finer details," agreed another.
"What is wrong with the world," lamented another parent.
That said, not everyone took umbrage to it.
"Get a life people,"a parent countered, "you don't have to buy the book and there is no chance of your kids picking it up in the shop to look at if they are properly supervised."

Fiona apparently wrote the book after struggling to ask the dreaded "where do babies come from?" question from her eldest son.
