Now I have an 8 year old daughter who likes to read everything.

A few days ago, she was browsing through my phone and came across the word 'Sexual', and then she asked 'Daddy what is Sexual?

The question was so unexpected and I just mumbled something but couldn't exactly answer the question. I have been thinking without actually coming up with an appropriate answer

Now I need help. What should I be answering?

tell her exactly what it means, if you fail to tell her someone else will do it for you. let it be part of her sex education, you never can tell how beneficial it could be to her.

You have already answered even if it was just mumbling & i doubt she would ask again.
Any time my 6yr old God-daughter asks those kind of grownup questions and she does ask a lot of them, i just say you're a kid and i can't explain it in a way you will understand. Sometimes she becomes persistent & keeps asking, i then tell her not to worry, that i will tell her the meaning when she turns 7.
I believe there are now about four or five things i have promised to tell her when she turns 7, but by God she never remembers what the last question was everytime a new one comes up.

I'm asking because i truly don't know
