I went to a Catholic high school and our sex education consisted of 6 
weeks of one hour lessons when we were 12 and 4 weeks of one hour 
lessons when we were 14. And they were some of the most 
excruciatingly embarrassing hours of my life. And to be honest we 
didn't learn much. So as others have mentioned most of the real sex 
education that happened at my school came from whispered 
conversations with friends. Hence my old school's appalling teenage 
pregnancy rate.

Applying this to Hogwarts, well Harry and co have already passed the 
ages that I received my sex education without a murmur about it. It 
could be dealt with in 6th or 7th year but surely the Weasley twins 
would have delighted in telling Ron and Harry what awaited them. Or 
perhaps it is something that is dealt with at home? I can just 
imagine Ron emerging from a room, face as red as his hair after a 
that talk with his father. Or maybe one of his brothers talked to him 
about it?
