It depends on the degree of hair loss involved.
If the person's hairline just happens to have that shape, but there is no loss of hair, such as in the Gary Cooper image below, it is called a widow's peak. In this case it is a genetic trait that causes the two halves of a person's hairline to meet at a low point.
If the hairline is that shape due to hair loss, as I believe it is in your question's image or to a greater degree in the Bruce Willis image below, it is usually called a receding hairline, and is the beginning of male pattern baldness.

I think the word you are looking for is "humping", which is often used to describe simulated sexual activity in the way you describe. It can also be used to describe actual sexual intercourse depending on the context and usage.
It certainly is behaviour that is demeaning to a woman or a person who it is done to. There's an infamous video hoax that apppears to show former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi doing this behind a woman on the street as he enters a building.
The other sense in which humping is used is when a dog decides to "hump" your leg. It may be trying to have intercourse with your leg, but you would probably want to say:
"Stop humping my leg"
And then gently shove him off your leg!
