Your dog should never hump you, that is definitely a dominance issue. A dog would never hump the pack leader unless it was trying to take over the role of leader.

You need to use some exercises to show her that you are the leader.

One of the simplest is to pmke her wait for her food until you tell her it is OK to eat it, and before she eats, pretend to be esting out of her bowl.

Another is to walk toward her, making her back up and not letting her pass. Do that a few times a day.

And definitely do not let her hump you. As for humping other objects, apprently some people believe that it is a pleasure thing, not sure if it's for the dog or the people. But they should NEVER hump people.
