Anyone else experienced this or am I just a dirty old perv?

Spinning class - first time there. Very, very uncomfortable seat and my arse and "bits" were killing me 5 minutes in. 25 minutes in and I'm numb down there - that is until the instructor commands that we all peddle standing up ...

Well at this point the blood starts flowing back and I experience what I can only describe as a semi orgasm. It was HORRIFIC!! Nearly fell off the bleeding bike.

It's not normal is it? Should I be banned from the gym?

Well orgasms are physical. Just take it as a perk Grin

This is enough to persuade me to give spinning a try, frankly! ;-)

BoredOnMatLeave · 01/09/2017 11:14

Off to research local spinning classes

SpamHeadedBastard · 01/09/2017 11:14

Spinning classes you say...?

SpamHeadedBastard · 01/09/2017 11:15

Ha! Spinning classes will be fully booked up nationally after this!

Namethecat · 01/09/2017 11:15

Not half as bad as having one whilst have a ( completely innocent ) massage ! Glad I was face down and managed a silent one !

HappyLollipop · 01/09/2017 11:15

Looks like I'm signing up to a spinning class now Grin

chips4teaplease · 01/09/2017 11:15

Spin? My heart would give way. But I might try it anyway...

McTufty · 01/09/2017 11:16

I fucking wish. I have never ever experienced anything other than pain and misery in spin classes.

OverTheHammer · 01/09/2017 11:16

I have an image of a load of women suddenly turning up to spinning classes asking when the sexy bit starts 😂

Seriously though it wasn't a nice experience! It was almost painful, mortifying and rather unsettling! I don't think I'll be going back!

Better than farting while doing yoga. Where can I sign up?

Mulch · 01/09/2017 11:17

I must be doing it wrong

MoGhileMear · 01/09/2017 11:17

I suppose that might explain the popularity of spinning classes held in the dark, though the supposed reason is so that no one witnesses your scarlet-facing panting from the exercise. Grin

WhooooAmI24601 · 01/09/2017 11:18

I just feel despair radiating from my groin each time I do a spin class. I'd go every day if I was having orgasms, my instructor is super-delicious and even he can't get my nether regions clammy.

TheNaze73 · 01/09/2017 11:19

I sometimes take spinning classes & thought the gurning & groaning was because of the class intensity. Shows how little I know Grin

DrHorribletookmycherry · 01/09/2017 11:21

I am reminded of a cartoon of two people on mountain bikes. Man saying "ow ow ow". Woman saying "oh oh oh".

Spudlet · 01/09/2017 11:28

This has never happened to me on a bike. [sulks]

NoFuckingRoomOnMyBroom · 01/09/2017 11:28

I have done lots of spinning classes & can categorically state it's just you-not a bad perk though.

pinkdelight · 01/09/2017 11:35

If I have massages in one of those sit-up massage chairs, it make my fanny feel like it's on fire. I'm fine for a lying down massage, and I don't understand why it happens really as I'm not moving so no friction, but it definitely does something down there. Fannies are baffling!

kaytee87 · 01/09/2017 11:40

My mil had an orgasm whilst giving birth to bil.... not sure why she told me...

TooGood2BeFalse · 01/09/2017 11:41

You're not a perv OP!

Weirdly, I always knew I was pregnant when I would suddenly find car journeys uncomfortably pleasant Blush I am guessing it's the whole blood flow to that region kind of thing but jesus it was agony at times!

Serialweightwatcher · 01/09/2017 11:43

That happened to me the first time I went to a gym when I was about 22 - I was doing crunches or something - first time I had one and thought there was something very wrong with me Confused

Used to do spinning classes quite a bit (now do 'proper cycling') and have had a mildly pleasurable sensation when blood flowed back to the numb area when standing after a long seated bit. Wouldn't have described it as orgasmic however!

I then discovered properly fitted, padded cycling shorts and didn't have it again. I can see why you might not want to, though Grin.

Hint. Travel by bus. Choose a seat over the wheels.
