AIBU?

to think you shouldn't make sex noises during a guided meditation?

Just that, really. A man in my meditation class makes these horrendous moaning, sighing, grunting sounds during meditations. Today the instructor asked us to sigh on the out breath and Mr Moans-a-lot really went to town. It was hilarious but also really distracting and gross!

Do you think he is using Ujjayi breathing. Some people overdo it. I had to move away from someone at at a Yoga class before I strangled her. It was so exaggerated.

mammoon · 07/03/2019 06:59

Lol maybe? I have no clue. It just strikes me as so... entitled, actually. We're all in a room together and making excessive noise is obviously going to distract other people. Plus the nature of the noises he makes... it sounds like he is having waaaaaay too much fun. It's actually creepy.

I was in the sauna at the gym last week and a man in there started making those noises. I had to leave . Here’s my advice to these men - don’t be a fucking weirdo.

A man in my pilates class makes a lot of noises like this. Men are gross.

Jesus god I would've run a mile. This is yet another reason I try to avoid being in enclosed spaces with strange men.

There’s a bloke who does this at my hot yoga class
It’s a pretty even mix of men and women in the class, and everyone else managing to get on with it quietly....minus my cracking hips and knees occasionally But this guy always take up his spot, front and centre and makes his “mmmmmm”, “aaaaaaaaaaaa”, “ohhhhhhhhhhh”, noises during every change of pose

liverbird10 · 07/03/2019 08:08

Odd. Do they think they're playing tennis?!

O4FS · 07/03/2019 08:08

Eurgh. Men who make sex noises at the gym/during an exercise class 🤮

BigSandyBalls2015 · 07/03/2019 08:14

I have an excessive yawner in my yoga class ….. she must yawn 50 times during the 1.5 hour session, very very loudly, pisses me right off.

IfNotNowThenWhy · 07/03/2019 08:20

There's a man at my gym who can't lift weights without the groaning, grunting, panting sex noises.
All the women look at each other like "WTF? "but the gym workers studiously ignore it.
I get the feeling if I say something to old Groany he will think I am hitting on him.
(not envy)

Vulpine · 07/03/2019 08:22

That's gross.

sheldonstwin · 07/03/2019 08:22

This is what puts me off going to anything like this, those noises would really piss me off. What makes them think it's ok to make these offensive sounds??

mammoon · 07/03/2019 08:26

What makes them think it's ok to make these offensive sounds??

I would be so embarrassed! I'm embarrassed if my bones crack when I move around, and I can't help that. I can't imagine feeling okay to make noises like this in a roomful of people.

This is the point at which I tell a FOAF (friend of a friend) story.

Woman working out at gym on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. Man nearby making grunts and noises on workout. She glared. He apologised profusely.

It was Hugh Jackman.

SnuggyBuggy · 07/03/2019 08:35

It's kind of the audio equivalent of manspreading

mammoon · 07/03/2019 08:45

echt lol!!!

It is, isn’t it? They have to make their presence felt. Man here! Everyone pay attention!

JaneEyre07 · 07/03/2019 08:46

I think it's a man thing. DH sounds like he's weight lifting when he's getting dressed in the morning. I can't be in the same room anymore, as it literally makes my blood boil. He genuinely has no idea that he's making so much noise.

NAILED IT.

That's it exactly. Thank you!

The audio version of manspreading

Brilliant.

Sexnotgender · 07/03/2019 08:53

It’s so arrogant. Invading everyone else’s space like that. Just shush and behave like a normal person.

I'd tell him to cool his jets.

viques · 07/03/2019 08:59

They are probably using the voice noises to hide the fart noises......

Itssosunny · 07/03/2019 08:59

Would it be ok to say in an irritable tone, "Just shut up, please." These days you can't say anything but I wouldn't tolerate some exaggerated noises inappropriate for the lesson.
