TEDxSF - Nicole Daedone - Orgasm: The Cure for Hunger in the Western Woman

Nicole Daedone is a sought-after speaker, author, and educator focusing on the intersection between orgasm, intimacy, and life. She is the founder of OneTaste, a cutting-edge company bringing a new definition of orgasm to women. The practice at the heart of her work is called OM or Orgasmic Meditation. OM uniquely combines the tradition of extended orgasm with Nicole's own interest in Zen Buddhism, mystical Judaism and semantics. Helping to foster a new conversation about orgasm —one that's real, relevant, and intelligent—she has inspired thousands of students to make OM a part of their everyday lives.

Nicole graduated from San Francisco State University with a degree in semantics and gender communication. She went on to found the popular avant garde art gallery 111 Minna Gallery in SoMa before moving on to OneTaste. Nicole is the author of Slow Sex: The Art and Craft of the Female Orgasm (Grand Central/Hachette, May 2011) and has appeared on ABC's Nightline. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, the New York Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, and 7x7 Magazine, among others, and her writing has appeared in Tricycle magazine. In his #1 New York Times Bestseller The 4-Hour Body Timothy Ferriss calls the OM practice "required education for every man on the planet." For more about OneTaste and OM, visit http://onetaste.us. Nicole's blog appears at http://nicoledaedone.com.
Raised in Los Gatos, CA, Nicole now lives in San Francisco.

Wow! Proof that the world HAS changed... it's about time!

Great job Nicole! Thank you for standing up and speaking what has needed to be said for a LOOOONG time!

i love the shot of the man whispering some little joke to the woman next to him.

@toddcasse We are speaking the same language. We're quite familiar with the necessity of heterogenous stroking. This is the absolute tip of the iceberg. I suspect that if you look deeper you'll find something... surprising.

[Jgeisse]

sad to hear that such an empowering topic is so heternormative from the very beginning =(

[toddcasse]

@sirnose Something that Daedone has failed to recognize is the heterogeneity of what it takes to stimulate a woman sexually. While I have no intention to undercut or diminish the sexual needs of men, it is generally understood that stimulating a male is quite simple. But women's preferences are much more variant than those of men, hence this whole problem. Everyone thinks they have (and can sell) a one-answer-fits-all approach, but the simple truth is that you just need to listen to your woman.

@toddcasse What OM (the practice Nicole is talking about) offers is not a replacement for your amazing sex life but another option to feel sexually connected in a new way. It may never make sense unless you try it. If you're interested in having the best sex life available to you, get her book on amazon. If you don't like it, I'll mail you a check fo the cost of the book. How's that?

[toddcasse]

Eh, my lady doesn't have this problem. And don't tell me she's faking it when she's sweating, shaking, screaming, pulling my hair, and clawing my back. The way I see it, this lady's got a nice point that she's wrapped into a big ol' business for herself to reap in the profits. Yeesh.

@utuber2 do it for yourself



[utuber2]

I wish someone would do this for us men :-(

[Titinefer1129]

Amazing!

[txsladye]

Keep up the good work. Most ladies have never had an orgasm. Some may freak out. But once they realize how good it is..................well......­......

Love it! Love it! Love it !
