Orgasm, Inc is a Netflix documentary about a Silicon Valley startup “One Taste” that sold sexual empowerment to women. The dreaded principle of “markets in everything” has managed to turn even sex into something that requires a pyramid scheme of seminars and coaching sessions.
What “One Taste” did was have women get sexually serviced in public. The really funny part is that, 60 years into the sexual revolution, people still haven’t figured out that in any scenario of sexual freedom many women will discover that they were coerced into sex and only agreed to participate because they wanted to be liked. This is exactly what happened, and the female-owned and female-run company was #MeTooted all the way into an FBI investigation and criminal charges.
There’s a telling moment in the documentary when one of the former workers and enthusiasts of the company was asked by the owner of “One Taste” to reveal her deepest fantasy. The woman struggled for a while but finally blurted out, “I want a baby!” This did not sit well with the owner whose business model was about selling orgasms.
While the story of the orgasm startup is hilarious, Netflix doesn’t tell it well. The creators of the movie don’t have the words to explain what the company did wrong. Sex orgies are supposed to be great and liberating. So how to criticize the startup and for what? Netflix concocts weird accusations, such as, for example, that “a queer woman” was teased at the company for not being feminine and finally realized – such horror! – that nobody at the startup “really cared” about her.

This whole thing sounds like something out of Brave New World, and not in a good way. The idea of paying someone for that sounds nuts, and not just to get off but for some spiritual woo woo is even more nuts. This is something that could be achieved at home with a vibrator and a stack of cheesy romance novels, but that’s too common and prole for the sort of women who would do something like this.

I also wondered why these people don’t simply masturbate for free if finding a sex partner is so tough.
Weirdos. Total and utter weirdos.

I agree, masturbation is free and one can do what they like to get off in the privacy of their home. But having a guy touch them in public without any intimacy is so bizarre to normal people which may the point, orgasm is pure release without emotion or intimacy. At least when people masturbate to a fantasy at home, it’s something they enjoy and that works for them after trial and error
