Update 🥺 After recording this podcast, I did a little more Googling of the author and her company OneTaste, and apparently, they got in a lot of trouble over allegations of sexual sleaziness going on with their employees. They were called an "orgasm cult" by the BBC and it's alleged that employees were pressured to sleep with clients to upsell them to fancy, experiential training packages that cost as much as $60,000, wow! The FBI opened an investigation of the company in 2018, but I can't ascertain if any criminal charges were ever leveled at Nicole Daedone & Co. My sentiments on this are...

Of course, OneTaste got #MeToo'd/"canceled" - they were organizing group sexual encounters. Anytime you're dabbling outside of an exclusive, trusting, monogamous relationship you're playing with fire. You're inviting life-ruining allegations and legal trouble. Especially, doing it at scale, it's just a matter of time before human nature intervenes and drama ensues. I've listened to a bunch of these True Crime podcasts, about groups of well-intentioned "spiritual" people doing self-exploration together. Then people start sleeping with each other, power dynamics come into play, things get cultish, and it melts down into a predatory mess.
