The main reason why I think that these concerns should not be respected is in self-respect again.
To admit that sex should not be mentioned is in saying that it is essentially bad that a child even knows of sex. This is different from Arachnophobia where the more the child knows, the more suitable Arachnophobia is for them. In the case of sex, for the child do know anything is the main objection. And to respect that objection is to say that not only is it bad without knowledge, but it is ESSENTIALLY bad. It is to say that it is not good at all. Surely any self-respecting person would say that it is a GOOD thing rather than bad.
