Chinese kids are starting early these days. Someone over at the PCPop.com forum with a nephew attending first grade looked through his textbooks one day and was shocked at what sex education for first graders looks like in China these days — funny cartoons, witty dialogues, testicles that talk to one another, and cool-looking Mr Condoms wearing shades. We wish sex education was this fun for us when we were growing up. No, wait a minute, we don't remember getting any form of sex education back then.
ChinaSmack offers a translation of the sex education materials and what commenters are saying here. Can sex education be too early? And if not, should first graders really be learning about condoms? Your thoughts?

中国对小学一年级新生开设性教育课程
如今中国的孩子越来越早熟。PCPop.com 的论坛上有个网民说他有个读小学一年级的外甥，某天他翻了下他外甥的课本，被如今国内对小学生的性教育震撼了：有趣的漫画，诙谐的对话，会相互交流的睾丸还有看上去很酷的避孕套先生。他说：如果当初我们的性教育课程也这么有意思就好了。不对，我们当初根本没有这种课程。
ChinaSmack 网站登出了一份性教育材料的译文以及就此发表的评论。给小学一年级学生进行性教育是不是为时过早？如果早期性教育是有必要的，那究竟一年新生有没有必要了解避孕套？你的看法呢？
