preschool sexuality

I have been very concerned about my 4 year old. He is a very popular boy and very into sports and someone whom I would never question his sexuality. However, the last few times he has been in the company of his boy cousins which are also 4 there has been some concerns of mine. They were awfully quiet and when me and my husband went upstairs to see a door shut and then opened it we noticed the 2 boys pulling their pants up. We asked them what was going on and my son just looked and said nothing and our nephew said he told me to pull my pants down. When I discussed my concern with my son later he said Mommy it's a secret game where you pull your pants down. And then of course I asked and then what and he said nothing that's it. So I said do you want to see his penis or for him to see yours and he looked at me like I was crazy and said no. It seems like it is completely innocent but I need to know if this is normal behavior for a 4 year old. He never notices anything else sexually or asks questions. Is it just something that this age child explores???Pls help if you have heard this before!
