Orgasm Inc: The Story of OneTaste

As with many Netflix documentaries of late, the biggest flaw with this one is creating it too early. There are no conclusions at the end, no satisfying ending, simply "this is still ongoing." At least with The Tinder Swindler, the guy becomes destitute (although not for long before he's at it again) but at least it was something.

They do a good job in describing how the woman who created it ended up taking ideas from L Ron Hubbard and other people who created successful cults - I think the biggest difference is she after more than money; she was the epitome of "blame the victim" when it came to sex.

The line I found the most interesting (paraphrasing): "I don't know why people always say if women ran the world everything would be great, just look at OneTaste."

This documentary about Nicole Daedon and her OneTaste Company is interesting but completely misses the mark on its attempt to portray Daedon as a scammer and con artist. While there is clearly a cultish aspect of the personality and the work of Daedon it is not veiled. She is person that promotes female sexual empowerment and enlightenment through female orgasm. She also charges a lot of money for her programs. So what? The people that joined did so of their free will and were free to leave any time. Furthermore, it seems that the program was transparent in its focus on sexuality as a vehicle for self awareness. People's buyer's remorse or embarrassment over paying upwards of $30,000 doesn't;t make this a story of corruption or fraud. I thought the story is interesting but I felt like the documentarian was trying to manipulate the story.

One conclusion. Nicole Daedone is a villain. 'Orgasm Inc: The Story of OneTaste' only amplifies and retells the same old story. Anecdotes and details of events from victims' perspectives are surely important, but all things end there so soon rather than elaborating on the systematic strategies OneTaste used for luring the members in and locking them in. At the end, even though I feel really horrible to say this, I feel as if victims had their chances to get out. Traumatic stories former members tell scar me deeply, and I really feel for them. Then, there is nothing that this documentary can offer to wash it all, such as a solution or resolution. Those horrible stories are all there are to be left.

I have seen quite a few documentaries on cults and most of them, if not all, involve people that are in search of something, they feel they are an outsider for whatever reasons.

They also involve a main character who is usually a predator of some type. I wish they would have had more information on the background of Nicole Daedone to get a better idea of her motivation to take advantage of "needy" people.

Some of her victims, usually women, are so fragile and needy that they are very easy to lead astray, others take some time. The get lied to and buttered up and told they are loved and it totally messed them up mentally.

Another thing they have in common is the leader ,aka head predator, usually gets away with it!

I really hope all of these people can recover.

I did not know exactly what this documentary was about and after watching it I can barely understand why it was made. There is not a straight accusation to the supposed criminals neither to the people who run the show for several years. So, consequently I am not sure if this documentary want to show the reality or a random version of what really happened there.

First, I am not a criminal lawyer but this cult place was easy one of the worst I've ever watched. Easy to see most of the people were there because of their traumas.

Second, the ending of this was a joke. Not easy to understand why the actual managers and the last one are not in jail.

Anyway, overall an Ok production with no message. Entertaining but difficult to understand and watch.
