Orgasm Inc.: The Story of OneTaste

Bizarre story, to weird to be false.

As a long-time regretful member of this group, I appreciate the interviews with women who were harmed, just as I was. I wish that there had been a bit more care put into the making of this, so that it felt a bit more supported and organized. But I do appreciate it being put on Netflix, and want to say that the remaining people in the OneTaste company appear to be doing a lot of the bad audience reviews here as a way to take attention away from difficult facts that they don't want to be exposed so that they can become successful again.

Out of millions of people touched by the One Taste organization, the documentary only found about 5 people who related on camera that they had bad experiences, two of whom didn't feel trustworthy to me. It was mostly centered on the usual "problematic" founder trope, but failed to churn up much beyond what one would expect for an organization that effectively sells sexual experiences.

Filled to the brim with footage from inside OneTaste, I found the film engrossing from the start. Oftentimes, I find myself stopping before the end when films turn to trauma porn but I found the filmmakers to be quite tactful and honest in their storytelling, especially from survivors. I also really appreciated the framing with other events throughout the film like the rise of startups in Silicon Valley and the MeToo movement. Thought-provoking film that left me satisfied.

I was involved with this organization for a while and know a bit about what goes on on the inside. I was present for several of the shots filmed. I thought this documentary captured the story well. My critique is that it lacks details and nuance at time (likely due to time constraints), a few clips are clearly showed for shock value (which I found unnecessary), and I wish more care had been taken to anonymize a few faces of the innocent. But all that said the story is accurate, well told and I'm grateful the film was made.
