A conversation with Ellen Huet, author of the Empire of Orgasm.
Building on the viral Bloomberg article that exposed the dark side of OneTaste and its founder, Nicole Daedone, Empire of Orgasm tells how a boundary-pushing wellness program became a cult that, according to dozens of witnesses, ruthlessly exploited its members.
A riveting saga and a nuanced exploration of the mechanics of manipulation, Empire of Orgasm is an extraordinary account of wellness gone wrong.
Presented in partnership with Jessie Gaynor (Lit Hub) and Mary Childs (Mary in America).
Ellen Huet is an award-winning investigative journalist who currently writes for Bloomberg News and Bloomberg Businessweek. She’s the author of Empire of Orgasm, a book about OneTaste, a sexual wellness company alleged to be a sex cult.
