Unfortunately this is a normal behavior. Alex is masturbating. When he starts doing it, immediately tell him no, remove him from your arm, and turn your back on him. Ignore him until he behaves appropriately. Once he starts acting normally, give him attention and love. He will learn that he will be ignored if he does this behavior on you.

It sounds like Bucky is masturbating. Even though he is fixed, he has learned that the behavior feels good, and that is why he's doing it. When he starts doing it, immediately take him down off your bed, and turn your back on him. Ignore him until he shows appropriate behavior, and then giving him love and praise for it. Should he jump back up and try to resume the humping behavior, remove him from the room. This will teach him that his behavior is unacceptable and there will be consequences for it.
