My son had this convo with his dad as he was embarrassed to have it with me at first. Dad simply gave him the facts of eggs & sperm at first with the workings of the body more or less. This was enough for my son at first. He didn't ask the "But how does the sperm fertilize the egg?" question til a bit later. When he did ask, he asked his Dad.
We've had more questions on pimples, wet dreams and the other changes we go through during this stage rather than the actual sex part of things. Right now at 11, he is grossed out by the sex part and while he's informed, he has no desire to be informed. lol. (we started basic facts of "details" around 9-10)
He also didn't like the female discussion but he got that one too at a different date. I personally have talked to him about respecting women's bodies, exploitation etc. and so has dad.
Basically we laid out facts and asked if he had questions. We found the questions didn't really come then, but later after he had some time to process and not be so embarrassed by it all.
