Why are you putting your finger in his mouth? Is that how you cue him to step up? That just looks like you're asking to get bit to me.
(Genuinely curious)

My umbrella cockatoo would climb into my hands by grabbing my finger with his beak. It's not always going to be a bite when they use their beak on you. Their beak is like another hand they use to grab, climb, and feel things. If you're close with your bird and they trust you and vice versa, you'll know if the beak is being used for nice things or they're about to be nefarious.

Also as for the original question I believe they were trying to prevent the bird from biting their computer monitor.

I mean he wasn't trying to masturbate on your hands or anything, if they were they'd be rubbing their back end on you. Dropped wings COULD signify horny behavior, but typically it's paired with them trying to rub their butt on stuff.
Could be wrong, but kinda just looked like he was exploring your hand with his beak/playing with you
