my 6 year old son sexual behavior

Today is the third day in a row that I have recieved a call from my 6 year old sons school with the problem of rubbing on himself and one other boy in his class. The other child has been involved in all three situations/ My son came to me before telling me that this child talks about sex and does certin sexual behaviors to the pillows and stuffed animals at school. Now at first I of course I denied the fact that my little boy was doing any of the sexual behaviors mentioned, but the incodent that happened today a teacher saw him rubbing on himself. The school  switched him class rooms and I told him how wrong it was to be acting like this yesterday. And now another phone call. WHAT DO I DO? WHat do I think? Most important HOW DO I REACT TO THIS TOWARDS MY SON? What do I tell him. What is the WRONG way to approach him with this

This is basically normal behaviour I believe & I had similar type of experience with my son when he was five. My concern would be the boy that initially showed him this behaviour?? Where did he see it from ??Maybe TV etc...
I would simply tell your son that our bodys parts in our private area are "private " and that means that we shouldve be touching any of our private areas in public. I would stress to him that theres nothing wrong with his body & its normal to feel this way, but it will have to be done only in private & not ever in public or social situations.
The wrong way would be to make him feel guilty.

Tell him very simply that he shouldn't be doing that IN SCHOOL
