A Conversation With Nicole Daedone: Re-Release

In June 2023, something shocking happened to Nicole Daedone, founder of OneTaste, which was once one of the fastest growing companies in the U.S. OneTaste defined itself as a sexuality-focused wellness company dedicated to spreading the word about OMing or orgasmic meditation. That's a practice that involves an individual methodically stroking a partner's clitoris. Federal prosecutors indicted Daedone on charges of forced labor conspiracy. The government alleges that she "intentionally recruited individuals who had suffered prior trauma." Daedone pleaded not guilty and faces up to 20 years in prison. I spoke to Daedone in November 2022 in a wide-ranging discussion of women's sexuality and the claims leveled against her involving sexual abuse. You won't want to miss what she has to say. "Now What?" is produced with the help of Steve Zimmer, Lucy Little and Cameryn Yarber. Audio production is by Nick Ciavatta.
