Probably trying to show dominance, especially if your dog was there me fore your boyfriend. He wants to show your bf who is boss.

Typically, humping is done to assert dominance. However, some dogs (depending on personality and whether or not they are intact) hump as a game. I would recommend doing positive reinforcement, and giving your dog treats or pets whenever he is NOT humping your boyfriend, and deterring him from the behavior when he is.
