2 yr old male... small dog, mixed breed

In what way? His feet? His 'privates'? Rear end? Or in general, all over?
And does a lot mean all day, or more than he used to? Or is someone in the
family suddenly home all day and seeing the licking for the first time?

Neutering a dog prevents prostate cancer as well as other medical and
behavioral issues. As for if it's the cause of the licking, it could be.
Then again I'd get the dog to a vet for an exam to rule out a urinary tract
infection or derm issue in his prepuse (foreskin).
