BOYS WILL BE BOYS AND BOYS ARE WEIRD

Question

We have a 7, 2 and 2 month old. All boys. Sometimes my 7 year old likes to shake his butt (or front side) in our 2 year olds' face. Usually while changing or rough housing. The boys share a room and bathe together. I want the boys to be comfortable in their bodies and have fun together but I also want to teach them appropriate behavior. What is the best way to go about this?

Also related / my 7-year-old told me that he and the 2-year-old have a "special kiss" where "just their tongues touch". I don't know where he learned this. But I was shocked and said "no tongues." And then went on to ask "where did you learn that?" Thinking it happened at school ... and then he said he made it up. So, I went on to explain that "tongues are private. And if anyone asks you to do that with them you remove yourself from the situation and tell me or your father."
