OneTaste Incorporated, currently operating as The Institute of OM,[2][3] 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.[4][5][6] OneTaste was founded by Nicole Daedone and Robert Kandell in San Francisco.[7] OneTaste and independent affiliates had operated in multiple cities, including London, Los Angeles, New York City, and San Francisco.[8][9] By selling courses and retreats, the company claimed to have generated $12 million of revenue in 2017.[8][10] Daedone sold her OneTaste shares to three members for $12 million in the same year.[8][11]

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.[12][13][7] An exposé by Bloomberg News in 2018 led to OneTaste being investigated by the FBI for sex trafficking, prostitution, and violations of labor law.[2] Shortly thereafter, OneTaste closed all of their U.S. locations and stopped hosting in-person classes.[14] The FBI investigation concluded with an indictment in 2023 of Daedone and her former head of sales Rachel Cherwitz on forced labor charges,[15] which resulted in their convictions in June 2025.[16]
