Humping becoming a real problem

When I first found out that I was pregnant, my boyfriend's seven year old intact male started humping everything that had a heart beat, except me.

My trainer told me that he was sencing the change in my hormones. He was extremely bad with this for about the first three months. However, he never seemed to be back to where he was. It picked up again around 6 months. Except this time he was dripping from his penis even squirting at times, so I took him to the vet. I thought it was urine that he was dripping, but it turned out to be semen. The vet said that he had a slight urinary tract infection which was irritating his prostate and he was interpreting it as sexual frustration. His prostrate is slightly enlarged. She gave me some antibiotics and magestrol. He has stopped dripping, but is still constantly trying to hump my Siberian Husky, who is spayed and wants nothing to do with him. He also tries to hump any visitors we have.

The vet said if the problem continued there were two possible solutions, one being totally out of the question - jerking him off or two having him neutered. Which I believe would be the best thing to do considering his age and the degree his behavior has progressed.

It seems that we are constantly correcting him for this. My husky, Ehco, is hiding under the table and in her crate to get away from him. I have to get up and night and pull him off of her and I am just getting sick of it.

Harley, the Rottweiler, does not use a crate. I dont feel that I should have to crate Echo, for Harley's behavioral issues. She is in her crate all day while we are at work and I dont feel it is fair to make her stay in all night too.

I want to get him neutered, but my boyfriend doesnt. (I think he has that manly issue) Are there anyother solutions to the problem? I would really like some opinions.

The vet doesnt agree with the trainer that it has anything to do with me being pregnant. So this could very well continue after I have the baby.
