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.

Many One Taste members lived in communal houses, known as OM houses. They would practice Orgasmic Meditation together multiple times a day while also working for One Taste selling and running courses.

Some people moved in to the OM houses only weeks after their first encounter with One Taste.

Some were attracted by the possibility of lots of sex, but others were looking for meaning, purpose or community in their lives.

And everyone was captivated by One Taste’s charismatic co-founder Nicole Daedone.

Former members tell us how exciting it was at first – but things soon got complicated.

The company was struggling to make money, and as the price tags for courses went up, the sales tactics got more and more predatory.

If you’ve been affected by any of the issues raised in this programme, help and advice are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline.
