Interesting - just saw Cesar Millan and a vet talk about this on TV.
It's not a sex thing. Wolves in a pack all do this all the time to one another - males and females alike .... it is a way they maintain their order and rank - and it's often not sexual at all. Neutered and spayed females will both do this -- even to toys.
The vet said - to interrupt this activity and find something else for your dog to do. Discourage it... He said a lot of people think it's "cute" --- but it's not. Instead, it can be embarrassing when you have company and your dog starts humping on their leg or in front of your guests .... often it's not very funny at all!
Again - interrupt this behavior everytime you see your dog doing it - "Nip it in the bud." If you see they're even going to start this - go after them - move them - find them something else to do...... put them outside - whatever!!! Teach your dog that this is not acceptable behavior.
