What age is a good age to talk to kids about "The facts of life"?

I know some kids have already been telling my son some stuff about sex. I am not sure exactly what they have told him, but on TV when people are kissing he will say stuff about "they are going to have sex" or like one time he told me that he wanted to have sex, that he thinks it is cool. He also told me that he knows that women suck on a mans penis. These are things that he has told me. He is 7 years old. I talked to his dad, because he told me that he has heard this stuff from his dad (his father and I are divorced). His father said no, that it was not him that told him. His father said it was the kids that live across the street from him. Like I said, I am not sure of everything he knows. I am embarassed to talk to him or ask him about what he knows. He is my first child and I have never talked to a child about this stuff before. My parents never talked to me or my siblings, we had to find out stuff on our own. SO, I am just very cluless about how to approach this subject.
His father is very immature. I am scared if I left it up to his dad to talk to him he might tell him perverted stuff or maybe even show him porn to educate him. His little sister found out about sex by watcdhing porn and so did his neice.
