Your solution, to go and dry hump someone is likely an assault, perhaps even a sexual assault (or could be charged that way), would be unacceptable. You would be (in my company) sent home immediately pending dismissal maybe even after a call to the police.
"giving it back" I did not take to mean dry humping another employee but verbal only. Odd that you would take it that way. You seem to have a big fixation and fascination about dry humping. Like a dog, I guess. Hmm.

I'd dry hump them myself (or kiss em on the lips), if I thought it would stop them and get a laugh. I don't fault a person for using a little rude creativity when dealing with bullies and louts, especially if they have been taking it for a while and management has obviously not done anything to maintain a respectful environment. Crude is better than violent any day.
If, as you claim, your company has a different culture that oozes respect, cool, then nobody should ever be in a position where they have to respond so crudely, right? If only all companies where that way, we wouldn't need to have this discussion.
