The more cool and casual you are when talking to him about it the more forthcoming he will be.

E.g. "That feels good, doesn't it?" VS "What are you doing?"
The first can segue into "IT's fine to do in private, but most people aren't that keen on watching you do it. Oh and by the way, have you tried this new hand soap with the dinosaur on it?"

The second approach will lead to a stone wall.
As a female non-parental relative, I'd avoid the "That feels good, doesn't it?" part of that....

just go for the "honey, it's ok for you to play with that if you really want to, but this is not a good time for sharing, so please take it to the bathrom"
