I can well commiserate with your dilemma. It's hard. Especially when it seems that it was only last week that he was on the floor, wearing Mickey Mouse ears, coloring in his coloring book, while watching the Wiggles on the Disney Channel. (why didn't I get a picture of that?) Mine started asking "questions" at 6. I'm like..."WHAT!?!?". But, I remember playing my first game of "you show me yours and I'll show you mine" at that same age. So...yeah...I had to man up and give him "The Talk". And here I thought that changing runny diarreah poop diapers was hard.
My first ammendment's best friend has a step sister that is the same age, and in the same classroom, as the two boys. My boy is crushing on this girl something fierce. Apparently, the feeling is mutual. Best-friend's mom caught step-sister and first ammendment with thier pants down. Mom, fortunately, has common sense and didn't make a big deal of it, but did tell them to pull up thier pants. Time for a refresher course, I guess. Right now, he's only interested in her underwear and not what's underneath. But, that, I'm sure, will change before I know it.
One thing that does kind of concern me though is that he says that this girl is "hot". I correct him by that ****** is "pretty"...not hot. I may be old fashioned (who am I kidding? I am old fashioned), but I don't feel that it's appropriate for 7 year olds to refer to each other as...hot. Maybe this is where he is going to be disadvantaged over having a 47 year old father, I don't know.
