The tittle says it all... Kimchi has been "humping" peoples feet! Only women and only a few. He is fine on walks with people loving, cute, he NEVER does it to me, but a few girl friends that have came over, he will keep going over and try and do that. As much as I tell him no, he won't stop. I try giving him a toy, or distracting him, eventually he has to go in his fenced area.

Will this get better after he is neutered? I have had male dogs growing up (several) and this was never a problem. Its gross and so embarrassing!

Any advice would help!!

I had this happen with a male poodle. I tried to look at it the same way a jumping on someone. I used the command "off" while putting his feet back on the floor. If that didnt' work I then put him in timeout (more for the sake of my friend than the dog). He did outgrow this.
Hopefully someone else will have some advice for you.
