does he do this in private? or public?
It is not abnormal my son did it also. He is 18 now and is very normal and doesn't  do anything in public. He used  to when he was little like 3. If you teach him where it is and isn't appropriate he should get it. Why stop it, then he will think it is a horrible thing to do.
If you can't get through to him have his doctor, a therapist talk  to him about privacy.
