From 2014 to 2017, OneTaste became one of Inc 5000's fastest-growing companies, with five licensed centers across the US and London and smaller outposts worldwide. By 2018, over 35,000 people had participated in our in-person events, 16,000 had taken classes and workshops, 1,300 completed our Coaching Program, and tens of thousands worldwide had learned to OM.
At the heart of OneTaste is the partnered practice of Orgasmic Meditation (OM). OM involves one person gently stroking the clitoris of another person for 15 minutes with no goal other than to feel and be present. Through this structured practice, both partners learn to harness and channel the erotic impulse, activating the natural mechanisms of the body to enter elevated states of consciousness. Ongoing scientific research is now validating the profound benefits of the practice, from increased empathy and emotional connection to greater self-regulation and resilience.
Underlying the practice of Orgasmic Meditation is a rich body of knowledge known as the philosophy of Eros, encapsulated in Nicole Daedone’s five-volume series The Eros Sutras. This system of inquiry places the innate wisdom of the body, the feminine, and feeling at its core. Rather than a dogma to believe in, the sutras invite you to decide what’s true for you through your own embodied experience.
In 2018, at the height of OneTaste's success, the company faced grave media mischaracterizations. Despite this setback, long-time staff focused on continuing the broader mission of Eros through the nonprofit Unconditional Freedom which focuses on rehumanization for marginalized populations, and the Institute of OM Foundation, which engages world-leading researchers to study the effects of Orgasmic Meditation.
