He said we should teach our daughter about genitalia and probably sex at age 8.
He said he would do this by showing the daughter his genitals to show what "boys" have.

While all parents have to face the task of teaching their children about sex / reproduction.... I am appalled that a father (even a father to be) would think that showing his daughter his genitals to teach her that girls and boys are different would be appropriate parent to child relationship.

Now far as when to have the sex talk - that is up to each parent and should be based on the individual child, as to when the child starts becoming curious and asking questions... but defiantly before puberty sets in.
