oh my! I recently stopped bathing mine together (6 and 4 years). I thought it was time for them to be naked alone more and together less!
I remember mine would come running from anywhere in the house whenever he heard bathwater running. He always wanted to join me. It seemed I never had a private bath.
Eventually, he got so big there just wasn't enough room. I remember asking his father to distract him and locking the door just in case. He got over it.
BTW, at what age does modestly kick in? My 6 year old has no problem walking around naked upstairs while he's getting ready for a bath or whatever.
It really depends on the child. My oldest is pretty laid back. He's 16 and doesn't usually run around the house naked but he doesn't really care if I see him naked for a minute. He doesn't go out of his way to make sure he is covered 100% of the time.
My youngest is 10 and runs around naked.
My middle (13) is so modest that I haven't seen that child totally naked since he was 5 and started taking baths by himself. When he got his first public hair he really wanted to show me but was very worried that I would "see everything". It made me smile, when my oldest told him "She's your MOM dummy. What's the difference if she sees you naked for a minute?"
My son cannot keep his hands off it, I tell him to stop touching it. I don't want to instill that it's bad but i'm pretty sure once masturbation age hits he won't care what i think. I'll try to be more sensitive about it once puberty hits but for now nobody wants to see a 3 year old playing with it at the supermarket.
It's funny though, he's not very aware of the rest of his body but he's already figured out all by himself that he gets an erection in the morning "If I don't go to the potty"
I'd try to tell him on his level it is a privacy thing. He should only touch it alone in the bath or his room. Keep trying to simply reinforce this is a privacy thing, not something to do on the bus, at school, whatever.
Of course if your kid is 2 or younger, they may not understand. I am speaking for the 3, 4, and up ages.

Oh that's killin me, I now have tears streamming down my face from laughter.
Why is it the hand could care less where they are, it always seems to find Mr Peepz..................
My son connected his thumb sucking to his penis fondling. He had to do both at the same time, from the time he was out of diapers (a bit after 2yo). He didn't care that we could see what he's doing. No amount of scolding helped. I was stuck with the 2 vices. At 4.5 finally bought a special bitter nail polish for stopping thumb-suckers and nail-biters. He was done with his thumb-sucking in a couple of days, just like that. As an added bonus, his love for his penis disappeared, too. Wow. He was only interested in it in connection with his thumb sucking. Don't know how to explain that one.
Pity that these days masturbation is considered normal and OK. Just do it whenever.
Masturbation is selfish sex.
Sex should only hapen within mariage.
Masturbation is not dirty, you won't go blind or go to hell but it is also unnecessary. The body has a natural way of dealing with the physical pressure. Its called a wet dream. Boys should be taught to refrain and abstain.

give me a break. We're talking about toddlers grabbing themselves. We're not talking about teens masturbating.
