KIDS as young as eight should have sex education classes - with porn, masturbation and orgasms all being covered at school, according to a top lingerie boss.

Coco de Mer CEO Lucy Litwack, 44, from London, warned kids need to told about porn from an early age - or they'll only discover it for themselves.

Coco de Mer is a luxury lingerie brand whose celeb fans include Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson, with pieces selling for up to £495 in Selfridges.

Speaking exclusively to Fabulous Online Lucy, who's been at the helm for four years and bought the company for £5million last year, said: "I think eight would be good age to start.

"The reality is kids are seeing and learning a lot from a very young age either because they're going online or because they have an older brother or sister.

"So I think from the age of eight, knowing there is access to more sexually explicit content out there, it's teaching that it's an open conversation to be had and nothing should feel taboo.

"Sex education is so often focused on negatives - how not to get pregnant or not get an STI - or it's really basic like about periods and how to use tampons.

"Things have changed now. There are a lot of children today learning about sex through online porn and they don't have the maturity to distinguish between fantasy and reality.

"It's leading to experiences which are not safe and are not pleasurable.

"Pornography can be used in a healthy way in a healthy relationship, but it's not sex education at the end of the day.

"For teachers it's about explaining that porn and other explicit content is not real.

"There are still growing rates of addiction to porn so there's more dangers to a young child."

Lucy also believes kids should be taught about masturbation from the age of 14 - in a bid to close the orgasm gap between men and women.

She said: "From 14-16 it should become about the pleasure education.

"I feel so strongly that female pleasure needs to be taught and be part of the sex education.

"I really think it leads to more healthy gender dynamics and that in turn can lead to less sexual violence, increased health and wellbeing, less depression.

"Boys need to learn to respect the importance of female pleasure at a young age and that that in turn can lead to respect in other aspects of life.

"I think if you respect a woman and the importance of her pleasure as much as your own in the bedroom then that will lead to a woman being treated with more respect when they're at school when they're at work in the office and beyond. It does affect all aspects of life."

She added: "I think self-pleasure is crucial to self-confidence, knowing what pleases you and what makes you happy, what turns you on is really important.

"That is then a way to have the confidence to explain that and show that to your partner.

"It's about learning what you want, because porn is so focused on male pleasure.

"I think it's partly about removing the stigma of masturbation but I also hope that it would offer a greater understanding of a woman's sexuality in generations to come.

"What I would like it to do is to allow women to speak more freely about their sexual needs and desires without the idea of it being a taboo or something they're not comfortable with."

Lucy thinks there's a cultural gap with the equality women expect in the bedroom compared to other areas of life - and sex education is the best way to close it.

She added: "We raised a generation of girls to have a voice and to take control and to expect equality in all other aspects of their life - at home, at work.

"It's time to demand the same level of equality in the bedroom.

"For me the concept of female pleasure is entwined with the concept of female empowerment.

"It's about education and putting the importance of women's pleasure at the forefront.

"Together they can really make a stand and help women to take that control.

"This is not to the detriment of men either - this absolutely should be about equality.

"I honestly believe there's a lot more pleasure to be had if you know your partner is enjoying it too."

Earlier this month, Labour MP Jess Phillips said girls should be taught about orgasms in sex education, to encourage women to demand more from sex, and Lucy totally agrees.

She said: "I do believe sex education should be compulsory and it should be a more inclusive and gender balanced curriculum.

"I completely understand as it's a sensitive topic but I think that children in this day and age - like it or not - will hear about it and learn about it through friends.

"I'm not saying it's easy or it's not going to be a very contentious subject, because it is, but anyway we can control that conversation is crucial.

"Because you don't know what they are seeing or hearing elsewhere."
