When cats rub against someone leg they are marking their teritory; so when other cats come along they know that you belong to another cat and then they will rub against you to mark their teritory and so it goes on.

Cats also rub your legs to show affection or because they are hungry. My female boss cat only does this when I am standing close to her food bowl or I have lunch meat in hand.

Move your legs against his body and even between his legs. And if your comfortable with it, rub his dick and balls a little. That's what I did to my bf. Hope it helps.
