“We have a pleasure deficit disorder in this country. I think that there is a cure and that cure is female orgasm,” says Nicole Daedone in a new trailer for “Orgasm Inc: The Story of OneTaste.” Sarah Gibson and Sloane Klevin’s Netflix doc pulls the curtain back on OneTaste, a once thriving startup in the health, wellness, and sexuality space that attracted members with promises of sexual education and “exploring orgasm [and] exploring pleasure.”
Founded by Daedone, the company first made headlines for teaching orgasmic medication, or OM, a practice that involved using a gloved and lubricated fingertip to stroke a woman’s clitoris for 15 minutes, culminating in orgasm. But OneTaste went “from a utopia to a hellhole,” we’re told. The business became far more interested in bringing in money than bringing women pleasure — and their bottom line came at the expense and safety of its members. “People were getting hurt. People were getting hurt badly,” one interviewee emphasizes. Another adds, “Ex-members would describe something that you might look at and think, like, ‘Oh, you were being told to have sex with a customer in the hopes that that would pay money to the company.'”
“Orgasm Inc: The Story of OneTaste” launches November 5. The doc marks Gibson and Klevin’s directorial debuts.
