Let him hump a dog that won't be humped! LOL That's what my friend did. Our dogs were playing and she told me her male likes to hump. My dog was taking a break sitting by me and her dog tried to him mine while she was sitting (mine is a GSD so her dog can't really get on her unless she's sitting). My dog corrected him quickly and meant it, that was that. No fight, no aggression, just him trying to hump and her giving a big NO! He had kind of a shocked look on his face and looked at my friend who just said "well that's what you get for trying to hump everyone". He sulked off but a few minutes later they were playing again. He tried it once or twice more and got denied each time, hasn't tried to hump her since.
Honestly if it's not causing any fights, I'd just forget about it. Humping is pretty natural for dogs. If the other dog doesn't want to be humped, he will tell your dog and make it clear, just like your dog does when others hump him. Some dogs just don't care, others do.
And yeah, train the "leave it!" if you really need to intervene.
