My kitten sucks her brother's private area. Is his health at risk?

Question

I have two small orphaned kittens one of them is a boy and his sister keeps suckling on his private area. we do try to separate them when we can but it's not possible all the time and we noticed that the shape and color of the boy private area is a bit weird so could you please take a look and see if there's any problem? thank you very much and we'll be waiting for your reply.

I would try to keep the kittens separated if the femal continues to try and nurse from the male. Right now the male appears normal but continued irritation could cause a problem. I would also recommend making sure they are getting enough nutrition because she may just be hungry.
