Most definitely. My 8-year old girl is going to have to learn about fisting and BDSM at some point. Preventing that would just make me crazy and over-protective.
Raise your kids like you want, but I would argue that the potential positive gain to be had from telling your daughter that you trust her to be responsible and come to you if she has problems is far far far greater than the: [probability that she will randomly run into that while she is still 'too young'] multiplied by [whatever harm that could conceivably cause].
I know protective parenting is all the rage, but think about it rationally.
