my 5 yr olds sexual behavior

I have a 5 yr old son, who recently was playing with a girl his age and his 3 yr old brother. later that day his 3 yr old brother came to me and told me that his brother and this girl were sexing outside earlier! I later asked him about it and he told me that he touched her butt and pp area with his penis! i have not clue what i should further do about this, as of right now they are not aloud to play. i have talked to him about people touching him there or having him touch them. And he says that no one has ever touched him. We tired asking him were he has learned this behavior and he just tells us he does not know, he just knows! what can i do to help him!

Boys are born knowing what  to do with their penises.

This IS embarrassing,  but it's one of those embarrassing things you go through when you have kids.  In the future,  he needs to be told again that he can't do this,  and those two need to be supervised better.

This is a difficult one, i do find it strange that he understand were it is ment to go, but it seems innocent as well.

I would explain the limits of this behaviour. explain that it is very wrong and big boys do not do that to other children and dont allow it to be done to them.
I would supervise play for a while and see if there is any actions in that regarding.

If it really bothers you as to were he is learning this from, then the only other option is conseling. Sometimes play therapy brings out more than acutal talking to the children. Sometimes kids dont now how to explain were they have seen things, so they do the explination through play. therapy is very good for this.

Good luck
