Once A Philosopher..: Probably not. Most children are curious and are "trying things out,' exploring. You know. It's what they do after. Like, does it become a habit? So you have to ask yourself if you still want to do those 'dirty' things. If so, get help. Voltaire went to a brothel with a friend. Next week the friend asked him to go back with him, but Voltaire declined saying: "Once, a philosopher; twice, a pervert."
