I've always heard you should discourage this behavior. Since it's a show of dominance, they have to learn that YOU are the alpha and not them.
My boys did the same thing at that age, and I told them no and took the toy away. I didn't take it away for good, just took it and put it in their toybox. It didn't take long at all before they stopped.

Not to be argumentative, but it must
sometimes be sexual, because that's how dogs have sex!
