How to translate "hump" or "humping"? I hope this isn't inappropriate, but neither of my two dictionaries had a proper translation. The closest one was 性交, but to my understanding, that's the same meaning as 上床. I'm looking for a word that will describe the physical action, whether sexual or not. For example

He celebrated by humping the air
The guy at the club kept humping my leg on the dance floor.
thrust as in hip thrust is often translated as:


  冲刺


Hip thrust for instance can be translated as 臀部冲刺. A movement that is pretty similar to the “humping the air”.

Dog humping their owners can be translated as 爬. Which might be more appropriate for the guy at the club.
