Too much information for Year 6? (sex ed)

DS had his Year 6 sex education talk today, delivered by the school nurse - the boys separately from the girls. It covered puberty and the basics of sexual intercourse, then questions were encouraged. One of the boys asked "Are threesomes possible?" According to DS the nurse went into detail in her reply about who does what to whom for the scenarios of 2 men + 1 women and 2 women + 1 men. AIBU to be a bit Shock, bearing in mind this is Year 6? Perhaps I'm naive but I would have expected the reply to be quite brief along the lines of "yes, sometimes that happens, but it's not the standard way of having sexual intercourse". I'm wondering if my DS is having me on and repeating something someone told him in the playground instead.

I should clarify I don't doubt the kids asked the question, I do doubt the detail of the answer.
