    Of course it was natural curiosity & parents should monitor what their kids do.

    By making an big issue of out of innocent fun will make the kids careful about where they 'play games' in future.

    If kids find times & places away from home to 'play up' they may be vulnerable to exploitation.

    Kids grounded for exhibitionism may well be silently resentful, develop a guilt complex or sexual addiction or become even more daring in the future.

    It would be an interesting exercise to quiz the kids in 20 years time to see if & how they remembered the 'foreplay' party.
