i remember we never had "the talk" - we were always allowed to ask questions, and they were answered in an age appropriate way - so it was never taboo. we are trying to do the same with DD. obviously we don't talk about intercourse or anything yet, but she asks about babies and where they come from, the same as she asks about everything else. we aren't embarrassed talking about sex (i guess the upside of my upbringing and her Daddy being a truckie lol).
DD is very interested in the human body - i pulled out my old uni texts, and one of them had a book with it that was the clinical view of a body (essentially a dissection of the human body) and she has taken an interest in it. we talk about the body parts and don't gloss anything over. so i guess i'm HOPING that being so open about other body stuff will mean we're about to continue it with the sex side of things. HOPING being the operative word lol
