Oh honey, dogs lick for a variety of reasons, like exploring scents, showing affection, or seeking attention. It's not about the private area specifically, so don't jump to conclusions. Just make sure to set boundaries and redirect that behavior if it makes you uncomfortable.

Why do my male dogs lick each other's private areas - are they gay?

Your dogs aren't gay. Dogs relate my smell and touch and, to an extent, grooming. What you're seeing is healthy pack behavior -- in this case grooming and scent. In your case it sounds like your dogs get along and they are cleaning each other and possibly covering up scent. If dogs are meeting for the first time, they will sniff and occasionally lick each other "private areas". This is how they get to know each other, it's a good sign that they will get along.
