Its quite normal.  As the previous poster stated you need to place limits on where your son masterbates i.e. only in his room, in private.  Best wishes...

My 3 1/2 year old loves playing with his wee wee.  Don't all boys?  We give him limits, and tell him he can only play with it "in private" - like, when no one else is home, or in bed.  He will ask me, "Can I play with my wee wee?"  I can't relate, being a mom.  My husband thinks it's great that he "found it".  Good luck.
