Why is my young kitten licking my older cat's private parts so much?

Question

Why would my 10 week old male kitten being licking my adult males privates? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 26 days old

The kitten is likely still missing its mommy. Kittens normally stay with their mother until 10 to 12 weeks of age, but, unfortunately, humans take them away long before that. So your male's penis is the closest thing to a nipple to get comfort from (suckling is not just for milk but also for comfort).
