since until they reach puberty they wouldn't have any sexual feelings..

That isn't true. I personally have experienced sexual feelings, and know of several others who were the same, well before puberty set in. I never acted on them, but that doesn't mean they weren't there. I knew of people who did act on them, and I was always aware of the school playground fascination with sex. Kids would talk about sex and bodyparts and they would giggle, teachers would roll their eyes, but they don't realise that this "immature" behaviour is simply because they've made sex "bad" or "naughty". You tell a kid not to do something, and he will simply find more joy in doing it.
I think that too much of this stuff is plagued with stupid myths. Goddamn when will people realise that spending so much time "preserving innocence" isn't helping? Innocence is subjective, and is totally meaningless if it stops you from doing what you want to do.
