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).
