 I think the misunderstanding was in the way that you phrased the question. You talk about one of your sibling's children who is 7 years younger than you. (1)You didn't say adult-children, you said children, and (2) without knowing how old YOU are it sounds like you and your friends are all over 20ish and the niece/nephew is 7 years younger THAN THAT. It doesn't help that the question title asks about "a younger sibling" -- not this case at all. So thinking you're 20 and the kid is 20-7 gives us the wrong answer of 13.
And as for the question about the harm: would it bug your sibling if he/she found out? The answer to this question is the answer to your question.

 What's the big deal? Why can't you just stop with the stupid games and do something more constructive?

 If your SIBLINGS are at least twenty years old, I don't see anything wrong with this kind of stuff. Not really... as long as you're in a safe enviornment with people you trust. If your siblings are under nineteen-twenty, you should probably stop doing this kind of stuff with them.
Not quite sure about the ages here....

Where did you see written that there were children involved or in the same area. What I consider a child is someone who is under the age 18, which is not the case. This is not a family gathering of just nieces and nephews. Its a bunch of mutual friends and one of my nieces who is 23. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are trying to say.

What's wrong with it is that you are their Aunt, any game with any kind of sexual overtones is way wacked. If they were acquaintances that would be one thing but we're talking about nieces and nephews here. I definitely think your family would think you are out of line. Quit the games.

 That may be the case, but they are still exposed to this and this is wrong. The younger sibling needs to be out of the room and away from this.
This kind of behaviour as you know is only suitable for older people whether or not they are taking part. At what age do you draw the line?
I would not want my child seeing these things.

As for her being a bad role model I dont know To eachs own. Now a person that is probably in their late 30's may think something bad about the whole thing. But everyone in this case are in their 20's. I don't see anything wrong with it. They would do it with or without her.

Yes. You are setting a bad example for you younger sibling. You know you should be setting a better example for him/her so do it.
Ok, there is no sex involved and to an adult it may seem fairly innocent and just a bit of fun. But at that age things are seen differently and remembered.
