I mostly agree with your husband. I think ultamately you should ignore it. But I do think that you need to discuss this with your daughter. Experimantation is okay but can sometimes lead to bad ends. And nobody wants and investigation by CPS. Tell your daughter that it is okay to experiment on her own, or to act things out with her dolls or in her imagination. Tell her that you understand that she is curious. But also tell her that "sex" is for grown-ups. She will have to wait until she is older. This is a good chance to open up a dialog with her that can last for years and show her that you support her exploration and that you are a source of information not blame and spanking.
