Description

OneTaste Incorporated , currently operating as The Institute of OM , is a business primarily dedicated to promoting "orgasmic meditation" (OM), an activity in which an often male participant fingers a female participant while she concentrates on the resulting physical sensations. OneTaste was founded by Nicole Daedone and Robert Kandell in San Francisco. OneTaste and independent affiliates had operated in multiple cities, including London, Los Angeles, New York City, and San Francisco. By selling courses and retreats, the company claimed to have generated $12 million of revenue in 2017. Daedone sold her OneTaste shares to three members for $12 million in the same year.

As OneTaste grew and received more media attention, the organization was accused of cult-like operations, similar to Lafayette Morehouse, an intentional community of which Daedone was formerly a member. An exposé by Bloomberg News in 2018 led to OneTaste being investigated by the FBI for sex trafficking, prostitution, and violations of labor law. Shortly thereafter, OneTaste closed all of their U.S. locations and stopped hosting in-person classes. The FBI investigation concluded with an indictment in 2023 of Daedone and her former head of sales Rachel Cherwitz on forced labor charges, which resulted in their convictions in June 2025.
