Thanks to schools' sex education starting as early as Kindergarten, as well as Hollywood/MTV/etc.
If you make them aware of it younger, of course they'll be curious earlier.
Parents also have a large chunk of the blame, but now the reality is that kids are purposely being introduced to it at an artificially young age before they'd even be interested in it. Even children of the best parents are still learning about sex before they SHOULD and good parents are also being forced to explain it and answer questions coming from the education system. Parents should not have to teach a 5 year-old about sex...but because they're having sex education forced on them in school, the parents have to counter it.
Handing condoms to kids is not protecting them, it's enabling them and pushing them into curiosity they should not even be aware of so young.
