When wellness, power, and controversy collide: Loni Coombs sits down with OneTaste founder Nicole Daedone      Dr. Phil and Merit TV's Loni Coombs are pulling back the curtain on a story that shocked the nation and ignited fierce debate. Once celebrated by celebrities and wellness gurus, Nicole Daedone's OneTaste promised life-changing empowerment through “orgasmic meditation”—but was it truly a path to healing, or something much darker? In this exclusive interview, Loni Coombs sits down with Daedone and her high-profile attorney, Jennifer Bonjean, to ask the tough questions. With Daedone facing serious federal charges and a possible 20-year prison sentence, we dive into the heart of the controversy: is OneTaste a misunderstood revolution in women's wellness, or a cautionary tale of power, sex, and exploitation?

Nicole Daedone is an American author, entrepreneur, and advocate best known for popularizing Orgasmic Meditation (OM), a mindfulness practice combining meditation and physical connection. She is the founder of OneTaste, a company that taught OM as a pathway to deeper intimacy and personal transformation. Daedone also authored Slow Sex: The Art and Craft of the Female Orgasm, which explores her philosophy of mindfulness and connection in relationships.OneTaste gained widespread attention for its unique approach to sexual wellness, praised for innovation but also criticized for alleged high-pressure sales tactics and cult-like dynamics. In recent years, Daedone and OneTaste have faced serious allegations, including accusations of human trafficking, labor exploitation, and creating a coercive environment for participants and employees. In 2023, Daedone and a former executive were indicted on charges related to forced labor, which they have denied.Beyond her work with OneTaste, Daedone has explored broader spiritual themes, including conducting workshops on “cancelling as a spiritual practice.” These workshops reportedly focused on addressing societal judgments and exploring the dynamics of public shaming and social exclusion. Her framing of cancellation as a spiritual inquiry has been both lauded for its boldness and criticized for its potential to deflect accountability.Daedone remains a polarizing figure, with a legacy marked by innovative contributions to discussions on intimacy and sexuality, alongside ongoing scrutiny over her methods and the ethical implications of her practices.https://www.instagram.com/nicoledaedone/Some Thoughts on Cancel CultureThe harms of cancel culture can be significant, particularly when it is applied in ways that prioritize public shaming or social exclusion over dialogue and accountability. Here are some key concerns often raised:1. Erosion of NuanceCancel culture often thrives in environments like social media, where complex issues are reduced to soundbites or hashtags. This can lead to oversimplified narratives that fail to capture the context or intent behind someone's actions or words.2. Chilling Effects on Free ExpressionThe fear of being "cancelled" can discourage individuals from expressing opinions, even in good faith, or from engaging in meaningful conversations about controversial topics. This can stifle intellectual and cultural progress.3. Lack of Due ProcessIn many cases, accusations and judgments are made in the court of public opinion rather than through established processes. This can lead to disproportionate consequences, especially when individuals are denied the opportunity to explain or defend themselves.4. Impact on Mental HealthBeing publicly "cancelled" can result in severe emotional and psychological distress for the individual targeted. It may also have financial and professional repercussions, contributing to a sense of isolation and despair.5. Risk of Mob MentalityCancel culture can sometimes foster mob behavior, where collective outrage escalates without critical examination. This may amplify harm and encourage performative, rather than meaningful, activism.6. Undermining RedemptionA culture of cancellation often leaves little room for growth, learning, or redemption. When individuals are permanently ostracized, it can discourage them—and others—from engaging in restorative or educational efforts.7. Collateral DamageCancellations can affect not only the targeted individuals but also their families, colleagues, and communities. Entire organizations or movements can suffer when a single individual's actions lead to broad-based condemnations.8. Misuse as a Tool of...

In this episode of The Rose Woman Podcast, erotic artist and co-founder of OneTaste, Nicole Daedone, joins us to discuss important topics like internalized shame, sexual wellness, and personal transformation. As an expert in Buddhist meditation and sexual wellness, and the author of "The Eros Sutras," Nicole shares her extensive knowledge and experience with us. So Listen in and discover valuable insights that can help you on your journey towards greater self-awareness and intimacy.Nicole Daedone co-founded OneTaste to reawaken the connection with intimacy, with each other, and to the primal source of energy that drives creativity—sexuality. She created a contemplative discipline around Orgasmic Meditation (OM) that offers an immediate experience of what happens when individuals unleash rather than repress who they are. Since then, OneTaste has gathered some of the greatest research psychologists and neuroscientists to study the intersection of sexuality and human potential, conducting the largest study of its kind since Masters and Johnson. OM has perhaps the most powerful effect of any natural process on healing trauma, promoting well-being, and fostering transcendental experiences. Nicole has brought people together and created systems to manifest and ground this vision in observable benefits.In this episode, we cover:Origins of Orgasmic MeditationDevelopment of OMFeminine Transmission and LanguageOn Writing "The Ero Sutras" manifestoWhat does “Eros” mean?Tumescence and Creative FlowVajra PrideThoughts on desire for further evolution and perfectionThe transformative power of acceptance and self-loveFulfillment Beyond ExpectationsSocietal Conditioning Around Female DesireTrue Desire vs. CravingContributing to SocietyBreaking Free from VictimhoodOn Recognizing Projection in the realm of sexuality and authenticityTrust in Personal ExperienceThe War on SexAI algorithms reflecting societal biases and CensorshipCancel Culture, Resilience and Deep ListeningHelpful links:Nicole Daedone - Author of The Eros SutrasCheck out her latest programs and projects here.

This week Rachael, Shawn and Allan look into OneTaste. The San Francisco born group, run by Nicole Daedone, that focused on human connection through orgasm. Sounds pretty good until the sex gets exploited. You won't believe where this one goes! 

Hello and welcome to the Eros Sutras podcast. I'm Anjuli Ayer, and in this series of the Eros Sutras, Volume 3, Orgasmic Meditation, we explore the writings of Nicole Daedone. Rooted in the practice of orgasmic meditation, the Eros Sutras delineate a journey of understanding the erotic impulse. Nicole invites us to harness this impulse, channeling it toward peak states of consciousness, known as the erotic state. More than just a guide to OM, the Eros Sutras serve as a lens through which we can deepen our connections both with ourselves and the world around us. So whether you're familiar with Orgasmic Meditation or just getting started, I want to invite you to settle in and enjoy the Eros Sutras

In June 2023, something shocking happened to Nicole Daedone, founder of OneTaste, which was once one of the fastest growing companies in the U.S. OneTaste defined itself as a sexuality-focused wellness company dedicated to spreading the word about OMing or orgasmic meditation. That's a practice that involves an individual methodically stroking a partner's clitoris. Federal prosecutors indicted Daedone on charges of forced labor conspiracy. The government alleges that she “intentionally recruited individuals who had suffered prior trauma.” Daedone pleaded not guilty and faces up to 20 years in prison. I spoke to Daedone in November 2022 in a wide-ranging discussion of women's sexuality and the claims leveled against her involving sexual abuse. You won't want to miss what she has to say. “Now What?” is produced with the help of Steve Zimmer, Lucy Little and Cameryn Yarber. Audio production is by Nick Ciavatta.

This week Rachael, Shawn and Allan look into OneTaste. The San Francisco born group, run by Nicole Daedone, that focused on human connection through orgasm. Sounds pretty good until the sex gets exploited. You won't believe where this one goes! 

This week we welcome, William Winters, Rebecca Ferrar, and Tyson Adams to talk about their various experiences with cults or cult-like communities with a special focus on the One Taste community. Tyson Adams is an integrated men's work practitioner and happens to have done a lot of searches around cults after having his own experiences in different communities. You may also remember @tysonadams_ as a returning guest from Episode 55. William Winters is the founder of the Bonobo Tribe, @bonobotribe on IG, a sex-positive community that throws parties, teaches workshops, and offers general resources to poly people. And Rebecca Farrar is a well-known astrologer better known on IG as @wildwitchofthewest, who also participated in the One Taste courses. She is still integrating and understanding what she took away from her experience there.  Together we spend an hour dissecting our own experiences, yes, even I have my own experiences with the One Taste community and chat about a variety of things related to One Taste and cults at large. This includes the differences between cults and communities, our natural desire to belong, how to spot a cult, the sense of language or jargon these communities often have, and what it means if you leave the group and ultimately are forced to abandon the community you've learned to lean on. If cults, the brainwashing used by nefarious leaders, and how people become drawn to and eventually a part of cults is something that interests you, make sure you check out our episode when it comes out tomorrow.

What a CreepSeason 18, Episode 7Nicole Daedone and OneTasteNicole Daedone is the founder OneTaste, which positioned itself as a wellness company that preached the practice of what she called “orgasmic meditation,” or OM. OneTaste made $12 million a year at one point, and Gwyneth Paltrow and Khloe Kardashian sang Daedone's praises. But eventually, it was revealed that Daedone was less of a wellness guru and more of a leader of a sex cult or a prostitution ring that exploited trauma victims and others that needed healing.Sources for this episode: Orgasm, Inc.: The Story of OneTasteBloombergJezebelLos Angeles MagazineNewsweekThe New York TimesPage SixSFGateThe SunWikipedia for Nicole DaedoneWikipedia for OneTasteTrigger warnings: Sex abuse, child molestation, and coercionBe sure to follow us on social media.

Ruwan Meepagala is a podcaster and coach. In his early twenties, he became involved in the matriarchal cult, known as One Taste, which was recently covered in the Netflix documentary Orgasm Inc. Ruwan describes his time with the group as one of the most formative experiences of his life, giving him a crash course in some of the darker parts of human nature. The memoir of his years in the cult, along with his other writing and podcasts can be found at: https://ruwando.substack.com/ In this revealing and insightful discussion, Ruwan opens up to Rachel about his time in One Taste outlining the more dangerous aspects of the high-control group, while maintaining the positive aspects of empowerment and self-confidence he experienced. He goes on to share how the group's leader Nicole Daedone, who is still under investigation by the FBI conducted her "orgasmic meditation" business. Throughout the conversation, Rachel points out the cognitive dissonance may cult survivors feel as they struggle to hang on to the helpful practices or ideas they learned in an otherwise destructive group. Before You Go: Rachel expands on the seemingly counter-intuitive notion of survivors holding on to certain positive aspects learned from their time in high control groups. She offers up tools for figuring out what ideas to abandon and what lessons to remember.

**Content warning- Sexual Assault**From sexual wellness to SEXploitation, this is what happens when cult leader Nicole Daedone convinces people to worship the female orgasm as God. This multi-million dollar cult gained national attention and recognition from celebrities like Gwenyth Paltrow & Tony Robbins with it's Orgasmic Meditation practices, but was hiding a dark side with priest initiations, underpaid and overworked employees, and a breeding ground for blurred sexual boundaries.

If you've seen the Netflix documentary Orgasm Inc. you've been introduced to One Taste Founder Nicole Daedone who created a company dedicated to spreading the word about a practice called orgasmic meditation. OneTaste closed its doors after a Bloomberg BusinessWeek article included complaints of sexual assaults and financial improprieties. Daaedone is at the heart of much of the controversy. In an exclusive conversation, I spoke with Daedone about who she is, what went wrong and whether she's a visionary or a villain. I'll let you decide. “Now What?” is produced with the help of Steve Zimmer, Andreea Coscai and Alex Wolfe. Audio production is by Nick Ciavatta.

October 5, 2022 — Mendocino County Sheriff Matt Kendall suspended a “prison monastery” program at the jail on Monday afternoon amid revelations that Unconditional Freedom, the organization running the program, was linked to OneTaste, a company intimately connected to the Institute of OM, which touts the supposed neurological and spiritual benefits of an expensive clitoral stimulation technique called Orgasmic Meditation, or OM. The Institute of OM Foundation, which generates white papers and studies on the practice, claimed in a press release to have raised over $2 million “to support rigorous, peer-reviewed scientific research into partnered stimulation and the physiological and psychological effects of Orgasmic Meditation ("OM").” Kendall was concerned that inmates would be vulnerable to exploitation through the so-called spiritual curriculum, which revolved around a self-published book called “The Art of Soulmaking,” by OneTaste founder Nicole Daedone.The program included a penpal component with mystery address labels and unknown correspondents. One of the Unconditional Freedom volunteers also worked at Juvenile Hall, though he was never alone with inmates, and the curriculum was not in use among the minors. A Bloomberg piece from 2018 reported former OneTaste members' allegations that the company pressured its sales team to work long hours selling seats at OneTaste events, often to pay off staggering debts they themselves had incurred to receive higher and higher levels of certification in “the practice,” which consists of one person stroking a woman's clitoris for exactly 15 minutes, often in a group setting. And in 2020, the BBC released a ten-part podcast called the “Orgasm Cult,” which interviewed subject matter experts and chronicled the experiences of people who claimed that the organization engaged in abusive and controlling practices to make money from sex. An attorney for Unconditional Freedom insisted that there is no legal connection between OneTaste and Unconditional Freedom, though they share key personnel, a website, and a mailing address According to OneTaste's website, which went live this year, there does seem to be some kind of relationship between the service organization and a company that's been dogged by reports of financially and sexually exploitive practices. Numerous professional profiles and advertisements for past OneTaste events identify eight current or former OneTaste personnel among the Unconditional Freedom volunteers who appear in months-long correspondence between Kate Feigin, the inmate services coordinator for the Mendocino County jail, and the organization's leadership. (The connection between Unconditional Freedom and OneTaste was initially reported last year by B.T. Linhden.) Unconditional Freedom shares an EIN (Employer Identification Number, issued by the IRS to track business tax reporting), with another organization the OneTaste Foundation. The Foundation is legally distinct from OneTaste, though intimately connected with it. A 2014 press release issued by OneTaste for an event called an “Orgasmic Meditation Xperience” in San Francisco states that, All proceeds from ticket sales will go to the OneTaste Foundation, which exists to convert trauma into triumph through the practices of narrative therapy and Orgasmic Meditation. It aims to advance an innovative method of holistic reconciliation which serves to liberate both victims and perpetrators from debilitating, negative narratives.” Until a few days ago, the OneTaste website featured a photograph of a Mendocino County jail inmate whom we were able to identify by distinctive tattoos that were visible in photographs Feigin attached to an email she sent to Marcus Ratnathicam, the Executive Director of Unconditional Freedom and a former coach at OneTaste. The picture was replaced shortly after we started asking questions. Visitors to the OneTaste website, which features highly sexual content, can quickly follow a series of links to the Unconditional Freedom website, where they can still view images of inmates and video testimonies by a variety of participants identified as “Builders of the monastery.” We spoke with Unconditional Freedom attorney Caren Callahan about how the program measures the success of the program with inmates. She did not know how much public money it saves. The eight-week curriculum includes brief before-and-after surveys, where inmates self-report a 24% reduction in depression, 23% less use of drugs and alcohol (which they are not supposed to have in the jail anyway), and 16% less anger. Objective measurements like recidivism and post-release employment, housing, and sobriety were not immediately available. Kendall had some rough metrics. He said Unconditional Freedom's garden program alone saved the jail $10,000 in food costs last year. “And it's going to be more this year, because prices of things have gone up,” he predicted. The jail is also working to gather data on inmates who have gone through the Art of Soulmaking curriculum, versus those who have not. “We're trying to put together some data on that, but you have to understand, that's going to take probably another year before we get enough history in the rear view mirror before we can say if this is really working,” he said. Inmate Services Coordinator Kate Feigin said the curriculum does include making connections with the outside world. “Part of the Art of Soulmaking is that you connect with a mentor on the outside of jail, and they write letters back and forth with the incarcerated person, and they go through the lessons in the workbook with them, to help them deepen the lessons that they're learning,” she explained. We discovered when we looked at one of the inmate Art of Soulmaking packets which contained two envelopes with mailing stickers to an addressee. Inmates receive instructions informing them that removing the stickers “will constitute immediate removal from the program.” When we removed the sticker, we found another label underneath–this one to the address shared by OneTaste, Unconditional Freedom, and the Institute of OM, which offers intimacy training packages for upwards of $500, claiming that studies show that “OM has been shown to produce mystical experiences on par with the second highest dose of psilocybin.” The penpal program was a concern for Kendall, as he considered the jail's relationship with Unconditional Freedom over the weekend. “Number one, is there any issue with this OneTaste program?” he asked. “And then secondly, are the inmates staying in contact with these folks after they get out?” Both Kendall and Chief Probation Officer Izen Locateli, who runs Juvenile Hall, said they never had complaints about any of the Unconditional Freedom volunteers in their institutions. Locateli welcomed the help after he cut back on staff. “A while back, our staffing was reduced, when the county had conversations about closing Juvenile Hall, and to keep it open, we had to have less staff,” he explained. “So we used more community-based organizations or non-governmental organizations, and volunteers, to do some of the work we used to do. Which includes the Unconditional Freedom Project working in our garden on a volunteer basis,” starting a little over a year ago. The garden is closed until security protocols can be improved after two inmates escaped briefly over the weekend, but Locateli said the volunteer, a high-level trainer in OneTaste techniques, will not return when the garden re-opens. Locateli said Juvenile Hall only uses evidence-based curriculum, and that The Art of Soulmaking program was not in use at the facility. He emphasized that volunteers are never alone with the underage inmates. He hopes to continue the gardening project with a paid contractor. “Growing up in this community, and not wanting to bring any type of perception issues and having a vulnerable population, I think it would be best to do some type of RFP (request for proposals from would-be government contractors) to bring in a variety of different people, and make a selection process that's very transparent and open,” he concluded. On Monday afternoon, Kendall spoke with Ratnathicam, the Executive Director of Unconditional Freedom. He said he wasn't much more successful than we were at getting information. “Marcus said that he had previously worked for OneTaste, and that he was very proud of the work that they had done,” he reported. “I said, there are some things that went on there that simply shocked my conscience. And he said the reporting made it very shocking to people. And so I very bluntly asked him…if there was some type of group masturbation going on. And he simply went into the science behind things and did not answer.” Kendall suspended Unconditional Freedom programming at the jail on Monday, though he plans to continue looking into the situation. The same night, he said, “If it doesn't meet my morals and values for my family, it's not good enough for the inmate population. And I'm sorry. From what I've seen so far, the work that the Unconditional Freedom Project did, I'm thrilled with it. I thought they were good, professional people. However, if the foundation of this is OneTaste, I am not okay with that. And it will not continue.”

On part II of our series on Nicole Daedone and OneTaste, we talk to sex therapist Dr. Jordan  all about the business of orgasmic meditation and where and how it went wrong. Special thanks to Dr. Jordan Soper for consulting in this episode.

This is the story of Nicole Daedone and OneTaste - a company that she claimed would begin a sexual revolution of sorts and make orgasmic meditation as commonplace as yoga. In part I, we look at where this practice came from and how it worked.Special thanks to Dr. Jordan Soper for consulting in this episode.

Ulysses "Butch" Slaughter presents an An Alpha Black Special presentation. From his new podcast One Black Taste, this is Hungry White Women, the first episode of this exciting series. In August 2013 Ulysses “Butch” Slaughter entered the sexual wellness community OneTaste to design and direct The OneTaste Orgasmic Meditation Reconciliation Council. In September 2016 - convinced the corporation was on a chaotic and catastrophic course - he resigned from OneTaste. The most influential Black member of the controversial intimacy community, Ulysses was regarded by some as more powerful than the company's founder, Nicole Daedone. Like a priest he held confession sessions for the most senior leaders and community newcomers alike. His presence changed and challenged the company's controversial culture, putting him at odds with many managers and clients as well. More than a reflection of his time at OneTaste, One Black Taste is an exploration through Black experiences and into the dark sexual histories of politics, religion, business, science and medicine.

In my curiosity about all things sex hacking, I came across this video on Youtube, there's a man and woman, the woman removes her pants, lies down, and the man puts on a rubber glove and proceeds to give her a stroke job. Turns out this is called OM (orgasmic meditation), it's a way to slow down sex and enhance intimacy. The evangelist of OM is this woman Nicole Daedone, I watched a few of her presentations and couldn't quite decide if she was a hedonistic postmodern feminist or a really profound thinker, so I read her book Slow Sex: The Art and Craft of the Female Orgasm. My wife and I tried OMing with mixed results, we discuss the book here.

This podcast is now the subject of a legal complaint by OM IP Co and the Institute of OM LLC. In 2018, Bloomberg Businessweek published an article by reporter Ellen Huet exposing the toxic culture within One Taste. Shortly afterwards, the FBI started making enquiries into the company over allegations of sex trafficking, prostitution and violation of labour laws. The company has since closed all its physical locations and is no longer offering in-person courses. Co-founder Nicole Daedone had stepped down as CEO the previous year – and after the FBI started making enquiries, she vanished. Former One Taste members tell us about their disappointment that the company has not responded better to the allegations against it. And we hear how many people struggled to put their lives back together after their time at One Taste.

This podcast is now the subject of a legal complaint by OM IP Co and the Institute of OM LLC. Even from the early days of One Taste, discussion swirled around whether the company was a cult. Co-founder Nicole Daedone even had a tank top which said “cult” on it in big white letters, and staff were briefed on how to respond to questions from outsiders on the subject. After everything we've learned so far about One Taste, in this episode we speak to cult expert Steve Hassan, author of “Combatting Cult Mind Control”, about what makes a cult – and whether he thinks the term applies to One Taste. Plus, wellness expert André Spicer tells us how to recognise red flags that an organisation could be a cult, and what makes people vulnerable to joining them in the first place.

This podcast is now the subject of a legal complaint by OM IP Co and the Institute of OM LLC. Many One Taste members lived in communal houses, known as OM houses. They would practice Orgasmic Meditation together multiple times a day while also working for One Taste selling and running courses. Some people moved in to the OM houses only weeks after their first encounter with One Taste. Some were attracted by the possibility of lots of sex, but others were looking for meaning, purpose or community in their lives. And everyone was captivated by One Taste's charismatic co-founder Nicole Daedone. Former members tell us how exciting it was at first – but things soon got complicated. The company was struggling to make money, and as the price tags for courses went up, the sales tactics got more and more predatory.

This podcast is now the subject of a legal complaint by OM IP Co and the Institute of OM LLC. One Taste didn't invent Orgasmic Meditation – but they did repackage it for a modern audience. The idea of “deliberate orgasm” achieved by genital stroking started in the hippy communes of 1960s California. It was a time of huge social and sexual experimentation. One Taste co-founder Nicole Daedone first experienced the practice in the late 1990s. She had a vision of it reaching millions of people and changing the world – so she decided to redesign it as Orgasmic Meditation, making it sleeker and more structured. Former One Taste members tell us about the early days of the organisation, living together in a warehouse in San Francisco and experimenting with sex, self-development and Orgasmic Meditation.

Wafa Mustafa is a Syrian refugee currently living in Berlin. Her father was arrested in Syria on July 2nd 2013 and has not been heard from since. Wafa is just one of many Syrian women, who are part of Families for Freedom, a woman-led movement searching for family members who were detained or 'disappeared' by the Syrian regime, ISIS and other armed groups during Syria's brutal civil war. She joins Jane to explain why she has been sitting outside a court in Koblenz with over 60 framed photographs. They are joined by the BBC's Middle East correspondent Quentin Sommerville. A new BBC podcast, The Orgasm Cult, looks into a wellness company called One Taste and it’s co-founder, Nicole Daedone, who believed that orgasm would one day sit alongside yoga and meditation as the self-care practice for the modern empowered woman. One Taste taught orgasmic meditation or Om-ing as it’s called by those in the know. Reporter Nastaran Tavakoli-Far talks to Jane. Do you and your other half bicker? Has lockdown brought out the bickerer in you? Or maybe you see it in others, especially couples who’ve been together for a long time. We speak to Penny Mansfield, expert on relationships from One Plus One and Deborah and Gary Marshall. Elle Kaye specialises in bird taxidermy. Aged 27, she is one of a growing number of young women who have made taxidermy their trade. Presenter: Jane Garvey Producer: Dianne McGregor

This podcast is now the subject of a legal complaint by OM IP Co and the Institute of OM LLC. Nastaran Tavakoli-Far explores the rise and fall of One Taste. We learn how to practise Orgasmic Meditation with a former member and his wife, and hear co-founder Nicole Daedone's story of how she encountered a Buddhist monk at a party who changed her life. And former One Taste members and staff tell us about the optimism with which they joined the project, looking for a sense of purpose, for adventure, or for healing. But we hear how things soon started to go sour, with predatory sales practices, coercive control and abuse – financial, emotional, physical and sexual. And we're also asking bigger questions that go beyond just one company. What makes people turn to organisations like One Taste in search of connection in the modern world? Why are women's health and women's sexuality still not taken seriously by conventional medicine? And where is the line between healing and harm?

This podcast is now the subject of a legal complaint by OM IP Co and the Institute of OM LLC. Nicole Daedone, the charismatic co-founder of wellness company One Taste believed that orgasm would one day sit alongside yoga and meditation as the self-care self-care practice for the modern empowered women. Except that now the FBI is making enquiries in to One Taste over allegations including sex trafficking, prostitution and violations of labour law. How did Orgasmic Meditation go from hippy beginnings to a sleek, million-dollar operation? How did this wellness practise – touted as the next big thing everywhere from Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop to the New York Times – lead to isolation, debt and abuse? Why is women's health and pain still not taken seriously by conventional medicine? The Orgasm Cult is a story about people desperate for connection and how far they would go to find it. Join Nastaran Tavakoli-Far as she investigates One Taste through exclusive interviews with former employees and asks big questions about the wellness industry.

What are you biggest, juiciest intimate desires? If you don't know, you're not alone. As women, we're taught from a young age to prioritize the needs of others at the expense of their own. We are taught that our pleasures and desires aren't nearly as important as those of the other people in our lives – especially the men. It's time for women to take back their pleasure, and insert it into everything they do.   In this episode of The PurposeGirl Podcast, I interview my soul sister and Burning Man roomie, the Pleasure and Intimacy guru, Aimee Batuski - and we have such a fun, delicious conversation about how women can have turned-on, connected, satisfying lives.

How can we live more richly fulfilling lives by combining the wisdom of Buddhist meditation AND the messy, raw electricity of desire?

Hana Sim is Orgasmic Meditation Trainer and Relationship Coach from South Korea. She says she used to be a floating head, having spent most of her life in universities, doing Masters and a PhD. I ask her how can we more authentic in our storytelling when most people are in their heads. Hana explains how Orgasmic Meditation helped her to be present. Nicole Daedone is the one who made this practice; her first book is called “Slow Sex”. After it goes to our mindset, if we make it slow enough then we can see ourselves from the moment I see something new and then add up the interpretation. We talk about how easy it is to label things, to judge them instead of observing them. I think my judgement diffuses to other people, so at the end we think the  same thing. The way we trained ourselves in Orgasmic Meditation is call what I see, and it changes our mentality. https://youtu.be/S8couT0r8Qw Watch the full conversation between storytellers Hana Sim and Albert Bonet. She recognises she learned all the other things which can look good, but never really learned how to nourish herself as an adult human being. I could not keep functioning in my old conditioning. I always had to perform and always had to show others that I’m worthy. It kept giving me a diminishing return. The more hard work I put in, it was giving me less and less satisfaction. At one point, it hit zero. We discuss about being present in our bodies, and how if we do this we all feel each other. But we’re so busy thinking, she says, that we don’t recall all the things we feel. And about being in our masculinity or in our femininity: The masculine way is to calculate the most efficient point to the end. The feminine way is "oh I’d like to feel this thing and maybe if I feel that then I can move to another point". It’s always moving and always very flexible. When we follow our feelings it doesn’t make sense. You can get in touch with Hana Sim in Facebook  READ THE FULL TRANSCRIPT: ALBERT: So, here I am in Paris with Hana Sim. Hi Hana HANA: Hi ALBERT: Hana is an orgasmic meditation trainer and relationship coach and I’m meeting her to talk about authentic storytelling, of course, so we’ve been talking already a bit about your background, about what you do. Just tell me again what is orgasmic meditation for those of us who don’t know. HANA: OK, orgasmic meditation is a mindfulness practice so that means we train our attention on our body and how we feel and the way we do it is with another person so that’s more interesting and dynamic and there are lots of surprises. And if the normal zen or mindfulness practice concentrate their attention on their respiration and their breath, here we concentrate our attention on the point of contact between the fingertip and clitoris of woman so that’s really electric and very dynamic. ALBERT: OK so that’s definitely very intimate, right and when you told me just a few minutes ago about this, this is like wow this is very intimate and what I find very interesting is that you’re originally from South Korea, right, but you live now in Paris and you mostly practice in Paris. So being you from this background with a society in Asia with this more constricted social norms, how was your journey from that environment to going headfirst into orgasmic meditation? What was your journey there? What happened? HANA: There are many things that happened, there is my personal story and my different plans and my plan failed and there are many things, but first thing that I want to say because I changed many times my country, I’m from South Korea and I live in Paris and many times I go to English speaking countries very, very often and I think one thing which really helped me was the language barrier. Some people say we understand language mostly from the body language and the sensation so there are long periods of time I could not understand other languages, but somehow we understand each other like whether the fe...

In today’s conversation, Nicole Daedone tells us why climax is just like sugar or a drop in the ocean and how to get to the real thing we’re looking for.

  Bringing Tuff Love and Abundance Back to Manhood!There is a war on men and boys in the World. But I don't see us as victims and we should not act as we are. The way I see it, we need to hang out more as men and include our boys in our daily activities. We also need to spend much more time with the women and girls in our lives. Robert Kandell brings up some very good points on this topic. He also shares a few books that are vital for us to read with other men and boys in our community. Men, we have to take responsibility for who we are, and who we are supposed to be in our community.

Hailed as “part football coach, part loving Dad, and part slightly crazed drill sergeant” Robert Kandell has spent the last sixteen years helping people re-energize their lives and build better relationships through more honest and authentic connection. After building a successful consulting firm in San Francisco, he then took his business acumen and co-founded OneTaste in 2004 with Nicole Daedone.

He brings his enthusiasm and acumen to his weekly podcast, Tuff Love, on subjects around relationships, intimacy, communication and gender dynamics. Guiding Principle, Quote or Mantra Don’t withhold. Tell the truth and be deliberate. And Being responsible with your communication. What’s behind sexual shame for men? Robert explains that everyone has shame, at least a little of it. And shame is when someone doesn’t feel 100% fine with talking about something. Society puts really strong boxes around what is “appropriate” - what you can talk about, what you can think about, what you can fantasize about. Most people who are outside those boxes find it hard to express their feelings and thoughts. It’s even harder for men because men “aren’t supposed to express their feelings”. Find out the rest of what Robert had to say by listening to the podcast. What can women do to support the men in their lives who are feeling sexual shame? Robert explains that the main thing you can do is to practice approval. Think of a computer with a virus. You don’t throw out the computer, you instead work to isolate and eliminate the virus. It’s the same situation when it comes to people. Making sure that you’re on your partner’s side, that you approve of them as a human being, and you will work with them to explore and better the situation, will help alleviate any sexual shame. What have you noticed from the “swipe right” society that has developed in recent years? Robert believes that it’s been a mess but there is hope. The first thing he notices is the balance of masculine and feminine dynamics. There’s also been a big change in terms of male and female roles. In just one generation, we’ve seen the gender pay gap shrink. It’s gone from 64 cents i the 80’s to currently, 94 cents per dollar. This has enabled women to make their own choices, rather than rely on a man financially. Because of this, you’ll see a portion of men quit on things and look towards video games and porn, rather than the dating scene. This topic was so interesting and Robert had so many amazing things to say. To hear the rest of what he had to say, listen to the podcast. What’s your outtake on “ghosting” and the impact from it? Ghosting is defined as basically not completing a communication cycle. What’s happened with social media and today’s digital world, we assume communication is done once we send a text, comment, or email. We’ve learned to be very lazy communicators. Robert believes that there are two types of ghosting. One would be because people believe there is an endless amount of other, easier ways of getting the same result, and two, some people believe that it’s nicer to just stop all communication, rather than saying that you’re not interested. In reality, this is not true. What is the best partnership / relationship advice you have ever received? You can’t see all of who you are without an outside approving look.

Want to deepen your sense of what’s possible in sex, and experience a completely new kind of sensual connection to your partner? There’s more to sex and sensuality than most of us discover on our own, and on this show, one of my goals is to help you relearn and re-experience yourself as a sexual being. The practice of Orgasmic Meditation (OM), created by Nicole Daedone and promoted by OneTaste - the organization that she co-founded, allows you to explore orgasm sensuality in a totally new way. It is also a profoundly different way to connect sensually with your partner. Today’s guest, Aubrey Fuller, is the co-owner of OneTaste New York and OneTaste Los Angeles, and she is one of the world’s experts on how to “OM” - and the benefits of the practice. Orgasmic Meditation (OM)- OMing is a partnered exercise introduced by slow-sex leader Nicole Daedone who co-founded OneTaste. It is a therapeutic and meditative sensual practice in which the focus of awareness is on the stimulation of the clitoris. One person (the one doing the stimulating) is the stroker, and the other person (who is receiving and, in this case, must have a clitoris) is the strokee. OMing is a 15-minute process that is both prescribed and predictable as it follows a series of steps that people are trained in and encouraged to follow.  While OneTaste  educates people on the what, the when, the how, and the where, they leave the who to you. It can be done with a partner, a friend, or anyone else you trust. There are classes taught around the world, and OMing communities can be found in many major cities. Why? Those who teach, and those who experience OMing speak about the extensive benefits of the practice. It is about rediscovering what is possible in how we connect with each other sensually, sexually, and intimately! The impacts are not only physical, they are emotional, psychological, hormonal, and relational- to name a few. And the benefits are not only relegated to the strokees! Strokers also describe incredible growth and healing through the practice. It validates. Increases confidence. Heals old wounds. Raises consciousness. Allows for connection to body and other. It allows for deep healing through opening, relaxation, and release. For many women, OMing may the first time that they really learn, on a cellular level, that it is safe to be female in the world. Orgasm 1.0/Masculine style orgasm: Masculine style orgasms are the type in which the goal is climax. There is a predictable pattern of ascension, climax/ejaculation followed by quick decline. Orgasm 2.0/Feminine style orgasm. Female style orgasms, on the other hand, are non-linear. They made or may not include climax, and they may include many. This is non-peak orgasm sex that focuses more on the in-between and on following the sexual energy up, down, left, right. OMing is all about redefining, exploring, and celebrating the feminine style orgasm. O2 sex- when to stop? Shifting from O1 sex to O2 sex requires a certain letting go of expectations and agenda. This is what slow sex is all about. Some people get disoriented at first as they no longer have the explicit information from ejaculation that ‘the deed is done’. To learn more about non-orgasmic sex, check out other episodes on slow sex - such as Episode 2 with Diana Richardson (Discover the Power of Slow Sex), Episode 5 with Marnia Robinson (How Orgasms are Hurting Your Relationship), and Episode 23 with Sheri Winston (Useful Things You Never Knew about Feminine Sexuality). As for OMing- the 15 minute timer is taken very seriously as it helps hold a container which differentiates sex and life, and maintains immaculate boundaries so that people do not get lost in meaning, expectations, or old patterns. When it comes to OMing it is very important to stick with agreements on time- honoring the sacredness of the practice. Empathic orgasm: Aubrey Fuller of OneTaste jokingly advises: “Have a clit? Get it stroked! Don’t have a clit? Stroke one!” Both strokers and strokees tend to feel the same after an OMing session- stating that their mind is quiet, they feel open, refreshed, and content. Strokers often feel turned on themselves, and describe a sensation of a pulse of electricity running from their fingers through their whole body: a flush of energy, as well as oxytocin being released. In this way, OMing allows for individualized experiences (strokers and strokees may have their own journeys) while also allowing for connected and parallel processes. While the strokee may get off directly, the stroker has the opportunity for empathic orgasm. A note for those who have trauma histories: Always follow your own knowing. Tune it to yourself. This practice is meant to bring stuff up- and as in any meditation practice, when we get quiet and allow ourselves to open, our vulnerabilities emerge. This is especially true in OMing because the clitoral stimulation floods the basement of your being- your genitals/hips/pelvis with motion and orgasmic energy and often these are the places in our bodies that hold shame and unreleased traumatic memories and emotions. This is something to remain aware of and to care take- are you in a place and do you have the support to be with what comes up in a way that is not going to overwhelm you? While this is something to be cautious of, it is not contra-indicated by any means. In fact, BECAUSE it brings so much motion and energy to these often hidden places of our bodies and psyche, there is incredible potential for healing, restoration, and growth. Reach out to safe and stable professionals or people in your life to help you assess safety, trust, and your own sense of readiness. Be slow when it comes to slow sex! Want to introduce this to your partner but think they are going to be resistant, uncomfortable, or dismissive? Take it slow. Introduce it with patience, and bring them resources- websites, videos, podcasts, book. Do not take their discomfort personally- this is a radically different way to approach sex, and one that involves more vulnerability than most are used to- so it may require time to readjust to! How To:  There are many videos and courses available to help walk you through the steps of an OMing session. That said, what follows is not a guide, but rather a short run through to help give you a sense of the process. Ask: Either the strokee or stroker can ask to OM. Either can say no. Set up a date for later, or do it right then- either way honor the commitment as you would a meeting. The nest: OMing happens on a yoga mat with a blanket and pillows. The stroker sets up the nest and invites the strokee to lay down. Get ready: The stroker also needs to get a small washcloth, lubrication (OneTaste sells some especially designed for the practice, called OneStroke), and gloves. In position: The strokee undresses from the waist down and lays on her back with her legs butterflied open. The stroker gets into position sitting next to her. Check out the OneTaste site or the book Slow Sex by Nicole Daedone for clear illustrations on how each should be positioned. Safeporting and grounding: Stroker communicates in short clear sentences with a calm voice that they will “touch your thigh now”. The statements are firm and always require consent. The stroker then presses the strokees body towards the ground to begin warming the body to touch. Noticing: Next, the stroker puts full visual attention on the genitals and voices three value neutral things they notice, such as “dark hair that swirls above the clitoris” or “engorged labia”. The strokee thanks the stroker, who then puts on gloves and offers another safeport: “I’m going to touch your genitals now” and looks again for consent. Stroking: With lubed left forefinger stroker begins on the outside of the vagina and comes up through the inner labia landing on the clit- ideally finding the 1 o'clock spot (most sensitive spot). The stroke is a gentle (no harder than you would stroke your eyelid) up and down, and requires continual contact. Follow sensations, and feel way through experience. Concluding: the timer will go off at 13 minutes at which point the stroker says “2 minutes” and only strokes on the down pull from then on. These last 2 minutes are about grounding back into the body. When the 15 minute timer goes off the stroker announces “time” and applies grounding pressure to genitals. They then do a towel stroke and helps strokee sit up. Sharing frames: Both the strokee and stroker share a snapshot of their sensations and give each other an overview of their experience before putting away the nest and concluding the session. In the moment feedback: There can as little or as much communication as needed during OMing. The strokee can ask for adjustments, and the stroker can make offerings, such as “more pressure? More to the left? Pull your hood back more?”. There is no formula or rule around communication- only that both are mindful to keep statements and questions short and simple so that neither person is distracted into a heady/intellectual thinking place. The point: The point of this practice is to sink into a feeling state and just feel human connection! Being present for whatever arises on a sensory level. It is ultimately a goalless practice in which you are neither pursuing nor avoiding climax. For both the strokee and stroker the attention is placed on the point of contact: where the finger meets the clit. Breath is natural, eye contact is minimal, and attention returns continually to this point. Did you know why OneTaste is called One Taste? The name of the organization comes from the following quote from the Buddha: “Just as the great ocean has one taste, the taste of salt, so also this teaching and discipline has one taste, the taste of liberation.” Resources: Learn more about OneTaste here!
