I would sit him down and explain that you were wrong for punishing him. You can tell him if what he was doing felt good he can do that but it must be done in private---if you are walking in on him in the bathroom during bath time--set a timer and say when it goes off mom is coming in to get you out---that will let him know that what ever he was doing in there time is up and you don't want to see it...let him know it was okay but just must be done in private...but nothing is wrong.
I agree its wrong to punish him, im sure it caught you off guard so you reacted quickly and like jd1419 said , I would tell him you didnt mean to punish him like that. Its ok to let him know you just needed time to think of the right things to say.
