Abstract
Abstract In an investigation of sexual knowledge, 147 children between the ages of 2 and 6 were interviewed. While children of all ages had knowledge of gender identity, genital differences, and sexual body parts, they demonstrated little understanding of pregnancy, birth, and procreation, and revealed almost no information on adult sexual behavior. Age differences for all investigated areas of knowledge were found. There was definite development among the ages studied in knowledge of pregnancy and birth, but only a slight increase for the areas of procreation and adult sexual behavior.
