I agree with Eugene Volokh that the wording quoted here is ridiculously unhelpful.
As Eugene says, "either the kid knows about sex, in which case the best option is to explain this bluntly to him (especially since he's likely to hear something about it elsewhere, so it's better that he get the straight dope -- coupled with relevant moral commentary -- from you); or he doesn't know about sex [...]".
If the latter, I think "he paid people to be his friend" is close to the least bad way to put it.
