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
