Yes, it is. Teach him that thats something he should only do to himself, and only when he is in the shower cleaning himself- so he doesnt get infection. Teach him about how its wrong to touch others, or to allow others to touch him.
All toddlers go through this, and its very important to teach them whats okay and whats not. SO they know its not okay for others to touch them, or make the child touch an adult.

I fear for my 3 yr old son I get him dressed he strips of as soon as my back is turned.
He finds his willy the funniest thing especially when he erm how can I say this politely plays with himself!!!!!! he thinks its hilarious.Now having mentioned to my doctor that my eldest son done it at the same age he said what do you expect him to do with it. Its normal very normal and its actually quite funny.
I would be a little concerned about his brothers clothes of too thou, just tell him he can his off at home but leave his brothers on. Good Luck

Yes it is. Each child will go through several stages of self discovery. Usually it starts with hands and feet and then moves to different body parts. The important thing is to not make him feel bad about exploring his body because like I said it is natural.

Getting naked is a weekly ritual for the 3 and 4 year olds at our playgroup. They're just kids. While you might not be comfortable with your son's stripping, you must remember it's not motivated by anything inappropriate. (He's too young)He's just doing it because he can.

yes its normal if thats all it is. i have a 2 year old and she does it. they're curious and are exploring and learning new things everyday about their bodies. just talk to him and make sure he knows when it is or isnt appropriate to be taking his clothes off and to leave others alone.

Just wait. Soon he will be grabbing and pulling on it. Or every time you turn around he will pinch it or scratch it. Your fun is just beginning. Mine is almost seven and I think I've finally got him to go to the restroom to scratch his self that I do not want to see it.
Boys are especially fascinated with what they've got and their fascination doesn't ever seem to end. But fortunately they will learn to keep it put up - we hope.

Yup, perfectly normal. Try and explain to him however that it's okay for him to explore his own body when he wants, but that he should let his brother alone as he may not have wanted to get naked. Don't yell at him for him, remind him that everyone's body is their own.

It's very normal. For years my son wouldn't leave his "thing" alone.

Yep. We were all born naked. And kids like being naked without the feel of cloths on their skin.
