I have 3, so don't worry........when we would bathe the boys together, it would def be an experience........boys get silly and do the touching thing, so you just have to keep saying it's not nice to touch someone in their privates........then you have to say it again, and again, and again........

Personally I would not encourage or allow this behavior, but I would not say anything or make either child suspect they are doing anything wrong. When this happens I would separate them and distract them with a bath toy or have them sing a song or something. I would worry it it could escalate or simply continue for a prolonged period of time. I have 3 sons and never saw this kind of behavior. I am not saying that what your sons are doing is not "normal", I am simply saying I would try to divert their attention and have them eventually not doing this.
