3. Welcome to One Taste

The Orgasm Cult
Contains explicit sexual scenes.

Available for over a year

This podcast is now the subject of a legal complaint by Nicole Daedone, Rachel Cherwitz, OneTaste Incorporated, the Institute of OM LLC and OM IP Co. 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. Presenter: Nastaran Tavakoli-Far Producer: Lucy Burns Editor: Penny Murphy
