In all honesty, telling somebody they're not supposed to do something just makes them want to do it even more. They get that good feeling when you know you're doing something bad.
In my opinion, it really doesn't matter what age they're subjected to it, as long as when they do they understand that it is not right. I grew and discovered things for myself. By 6th grade I knew everything "bad" there was to know, and I turned out fine (at least I think so ).
What I'm saying is that while children's brains at younger ages are more susceptible to manipulation, it is inevitable that they will come across it sooner or later, it's just inevitable. When it does their parent/guardian needs to explain it to them if needed so they don't start confusing what's right and what's wrong.
