Then you must have had gay dogs to start with!
I cant understand why some vets are telling you it wont change him, i'm no vet so if thats what they told you then they must have had some reasoning behind it.
A dog without its bits should be calmer, this can make them lazy though hence why the majority of working dogs are not castrated. One of the 3 of my uncles collie's is and it brought him down the other 2 level, was far to excitiable before and wouldn't do as its told, balls off and its a lot calmer.
Again not sure about the cocking the leg, this is something they develop from a pup. Some male dogs never do it but i have seen many a castrated dog cock its leg, not that i'm on the look out or anything! Also with the humping, there is no saying it will stop it 100% but it in theory should make him calmer and less horney for your misses leaving just you to pester her
