My female hump the male too. In this case he doesn't mind. It is not sexual, it is about establishing who is the dominant dog in the pack. If the humped one doesn't like it that means that they are arguing over who is dominant which could lead to fights.
They also may be doing this out of boredom. Make sure they are getting daily walks together. This way they'll be challenged physically and mentally and be less likely to hump play.
Also, the next time they do it and the male resists try this : get them to lay down next to each other in a calmly. In a lay down position they are practicing summiting to you and each other.

Dominence is determined by one dog showing its power over a nother, for many dogs it can be just jumping on them, for others its humping, no matter what sex the dog is.
Theres not relly a solution as to stopping from showing dominence, the only thing is really to tell her no and correct her so that she starts to consider it "bad" but it probably wont stop because of that

She is asserting control over him. This is normal in the dog world and generally should be left alone. However, if this is leading to fights or if the dogs don't really get along, you need a trainer or behaviorist to observe the dogs together and give you some things to work on.

even tho it's a female dog they still get pleasure from humping and its just a way of showing affection or dominance. tell them 'NO' firmly and pull them off and the behavior should stop.

It's a dominance thing. Normal behavior until they have settled the issue, sounds like you've got an alpha girl there! Good luck!

Yup. She's telling them that she's the boss, and they need to fall in line with her.
I would recommend you get a book or take a class in dog behavior so you know when to encourage alpha dog behavior, and when it is inappropriate.

She is asserting her dominance........sometimes female dogs living with a male will rule the roost.

She's asserting her dominance over him, it's nothing sexual at all. If your male gets angry with this, and it's happening "all day", it could cause a fight. Stop her when she does this, you're in control.
