I would say that even if it WAS that vague sexual curiosity we all start experiencing around that age, the worst you can do is make them feel shameful about it because thats the feeling they'll carry into their future. Take it from me; you don't want their sexual identities to be characterized by shame that early on. Shame creates all sorts of unforeseen results. It could even make them forbidden fruit to each other which is the opposite of what you want.
Their age is probably also a big factor here. If they were older you could be more worried because they should have that initial curiosity being transferred to their peers...not to say that they won't still be trying to fart and fight when they're older.
Long story short: if you talk to them about it keep it innocent while they're young and they'll probably phase out of it without ever knowing you were concerned.
My daughter sat on my son's face, is that normal?
