What happens when a sexual wellness practice turns into a cult, and how can we spot the warning signs?

Join us on this episode of Shameless Sex as we explore the fascinating and disturbing world of OneTaste, a company that promised to unlock the secrets of orgasmic meditation but allegedly became a breeding ground for abuse and manipulation. Award-winning investigative journalist and author Ellen Huet takes us on a journey into the heart of OneTaste, sharing her insights from her book Empire of Orgasm: Sex, Power, and the Downfall of a Wellness Cult

Here's what you'll learn from this episode:

* The history of OneTaste and how it started as a seemingly innocuous wellness practice

* The benefits and risks of orgasmic meditation (OM) and how to approach it with a critical eye

* The warning signs of a cult and how to spot when a practice or community is becoming toxic

* The latest updates on the criminal case against OneTaste's leaders and what it means for the future of the wellness industry

* How to prioritize consent, safety, and critical thinking in your own sex life and wellness practices

As a journalist who's covered some of the most complex and intriguing stories of our time, Ellen Huet brings her expertise and sharp analysis to the conversation. Whether you're a seasoned sex educator or just curious about the world of wellness, this episode is for you.

Tune in to learn more about the intersection of sex, power, and exploitation, and how to create a safer, more consensual world for everyone. And stay until the end to find out how to get your hands on Ellen's book and support her work.

What is really happening in K–12 sex education across the United States right now? In this episode, we unpack the good, the bad, and the truly troubling — and imagine what sex ed could look like if it were inclusive, medically accurate, intersectional, and pleasure-positive.

We’re joined by Gina Lepore (she/her), an ASSECT-Certified Sexuality Educator with over 30 years of experience spanning healthcare, research, curriculum development, and education. Gina holds a master’s degree in Sexuality Education from Widener University and has taught comprehensive sex ed to middle and high school students, trained future sexuality educators and medical students, conducted research, and even spent time educating about (and selling!) pleasure products at her favorite adult store, Pure Pleasure Shop — because real-world learning matters.

Together, we explore why sex education often feels inaccessible or incomplete, and what’s needed to bridge the gap between academic research and online, community-based sexuality education. Gina shares insights from her work as an adjunct lecturer at Cabrillo College and California State University, Chico, reflecting on what she’s learned from teaching hundreds of students — their questions, their gaps, and their hunger for honest, affirming information.

We also dive into current research in the field, including buzz around an Emerging Adults Pleasure Survey, and discuss why pleasure belongs in conversations about sexual health. Gina breaks down what sexual empowerment and sexual agency truly mean, how pleasure education can play a role in reducing sexual violence and trauma, and why embodied, holistic approaches to sexuality are essential.

In addition to her work in sex education, Gina is a Certified Personal Trainer and Health Coach, integrating fitness and embodied wellbeing into her practice through Focus Integrated Fitness and Joyride Sexual Empowerment Coaching. She brings a grounded, compassionate, and deeply human lens to sexuality — shaped not only by her professional work, but also by her lived experience as a proud mama of two young men.

✨ Stick around to the end to learn how to connect with Gina, explore her work, and dive deeper into pleasure-positive, empowering sexuality education.

In this episode, we’re joined by Ashley Randall, also known as Irreverent Femme—a Los Angeles–based Sex, Intimacy, and Kink Coach, Dominatrix, and erotic parfum-ist. Ashley shares how her journey into sexuality work emerged from a desire to help people shed shame, reconnect with their bodies, and access deeper intimacy and pleasure.

Ashley primarily works with cisgender, predominantly straight men, many of whom are successful yet disconnected—from their emotions, their desire, and their partners. She explains why working with a confident, sexually embodied woman can be both confronting and profoundly healing, offering men a space to drop performance and explore authenticity.

The most common issue Ashley sees is disconnection, often showing up as performance anxiety, erectile challenges, or difficulty leading and communicating sexually. Beneath it all is a longing for confidence, presence, and deeper connection. In early sessions, Ashley focuses on nervous system regulation, consent, and embodiment, gradually guiding clients toward more grounded desire, emotional intimacy, and conscious power.

We also explore Ashley’s work as a Dominatrix and how dominance—whether kinky or not—is about presence, responsibility, and attunement rather than control. She shares practical insights for men who want to be more dominant, emphasizing self-regulation, listening, and clarity.

Plus, we dive into Ashley’s erotic perfumes, which she uses as a powerful sensory and somatic tool in sessions to anchor desire, memory, and arousal.

Ashley leaves listeners with one golden reminder: your desire is not a problem—it’s information.
