Child sexual play

My son is in kindergarten. In the fall he was caught asking his friends if he could "see their butts". I talked with him about this and explained that is wasn't appropriate to ask his friends that. We talked about private parts of the body and that you should not show them or ask to see them. He seemed to understand and things were fine for about a month when he did the same thing again with a different friend. We talked again and he lost some priviliges because he had done this again when specificially asked not to. All has been fine as far as I know until last weekend and he initiated this type of play again with yet a different friend only this time he asked his friend to put his finger into his butt. I'm not sure how to handle this. I don't want him to feel bad for being curious but at the same time he can't behave like this. Is this type of behavior normal? His friends are willing participants in the play but he admits that he starts the games. I asked him how he knew about games like this and he said he thought of it. Luckily thus far other parents have been understanding. I fear that this could really cause a problem with our neighbors and friends. Help!
