An arbitrator found that a Canadian company was right to fire a male employee who masturbated loudly in the workplace bathroom — and who tried save his job by arguing that his sex addiction was a disability, according to reports.

The National Post reports that the employee, who worked for an aerospace company that operates in the airport at Halifax, Nova Scotia and whose name has not been released, was fired after fellow employees complained that they could hear him pleasuring himself in the bathroom, which they say caused them “embarrassment and distress.”

In addition to his sex-addiction-as-a-disability argument, the man’s union, Unifor, tried to argue that the man didn’t receive a fair warning about his co-workers’ complaints.

The arbitrator said that the case of the oversexed office worker was a rare situation for a labor board.

“Neither (the company) nor the union’s representative had been able to find any case dealing with masturbation in the workplace,” the ruling states, the Toronto Post reports.

The man denied making “moaning and groaning” noises and assured officials that he kept the sound on his phone down if he used it to watch porn.
