Unfortunately this will just lead to further aggression. Since they cannot actually mate (you are 100% positive they are both males? they have Freddie Krueger claws or you've seen their, umm, junk?), they are very likely to start actually attacking one another soon.
You said their tank is a meter long, how many gallons is it? A meter doesn't sound very big, for two 5 inch turtles, you would need at least 100 gallons now, and probably around 150 gallons in the long run, if they don't actually start biting each other.
But realize that once aggression starts, it won't stop, and in a matter of seconds, one turtle can kill the other turtle, and you will hardly be able to stop them.
