At its peak, 'Orgasmic Meditation' group OneTaste was making millions and endorsed by the 'high priestess of the vagina', Gwyneth Paltrow.
Now, the defunct 'cult' faces sex-trafficking and prostitution allegations
Here's the bizarre story 👇
Thread 🧵
https://t.co/c4Jcv999Hc
Here she developed a technique called ‘orgasmic meditation’
A woman lies on ‘a nest’ of pillows and ‘butterflies’ her legs (Daedone’s words), draping a leg over a fully-clothed man beside her.
⏰He sets a 15 minute timer.
Wearing latex gloves he then touches ‘the upper left quadrant’ of the clitoris
💕She hoped to promote OM as ‘a way to make orgasm, connection and sensuality sustainable’.
The community quickly grew to around 50 members, most in their late 20s, OM-ing 2 or 3 times a day with various ‘research’ partners
💸An introductory workshop cost $195
💸A week-long ‘urban monk’ programme set you back $2,000
💸Or you could train to become a certified coach for $16,000
Men stroked women, and sometimes women stroked women; nobody stroked men.
💳But everybody paid...
📱 ‘Silicon Valley was a really great place to market because we could talk in terms of having a new operating system for human connection.’
💄 Khloé Kardashian was said to ‘swear by’ OM.
But its most celebrated champion was Gwyneth Paltrow...
🕯 Paltrow’s website Goop – famous for selling the ‘This Smells Like My Vagina’ candle – ran interviews with Daedone
⛪️ Yet, in 2015, Daedone organised a series of events called Magic School, naming a handful of the inner circle as ‘priests and priestesses of orgasm’
They promoted a smorgasbord of different courses costing up to $60,000 a year.
💰The ‘Nicole Daedone Intensive’, offering personal tuition in stroking by Daedone herself, cost up to $36,000
They urged customers to take out multiple credit cards to pay for courses.
🧾 Potential customers, it was alleged, were referred to as ‘marks'
It was allegedly said that women should be able to have sex with anyone as ‘the orgasm is so strong that it alchemises everything’
‘All allegations of abusive practices are completely false. OneTaste is an organisation that helped individuals to increase health, happiness and connection through methods combining mindfulness and sexuality.’
But the OneTaste website no longer exists...
❓And Nicole Daedone disappeared
A new ‘Institute of OM website’, set up by former members, invites users to ‘Learn to OM for free’.

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho
There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.
Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.
Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.
The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.

Be aware, the images the #farright are sharing in the hopes of starting a race war, are not of the SPAR employee that was punched. They\u2019re older photos of a Everton fan. Be aware of the information you\u2019re sharing and that it may be false. Always #factcheck #GeorgeNkencho pic.twitter.com/4c9w4CMk5h

There is a concerted effort in far-right Telegram groups to try and incite violence on street by targetting people for racist online abuse following the killing of George Nkencho

This follows on and is part of a misinformation campaign to polarise communities at this time.
