Thats another thing about any sex group or LGAT--and something for happy graduates to consider. How can you be sure you were not recorded or your picture taken? That is something all young people need to be aware of when approached for any of these ventures--the danger of blackmail. These days it is only too easy for a stranger to photograph you during an intimate moment. It could c

Interesting, that again, still, Wikipedia seems to be edited to take out the name of Nicole Daedone's (powerful, connected, wealthy, internet mogul) partner? Even wikipedia lists the numerous problems with the article, which is just an advertisement for One Taste, constantly manipulated by those in the group. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OneTaste Search Google for: "reese jones&q

And of course, to counter the negative reviews of One Taste, One Taste is shilling reviews on sites like Yelp with their own people, and people directed/suggested to write there. You can see the pattern. The so-called reviewer says something like: ...a friend invited me, I knew nothing about it, everyone was friendly not creepy, they are not a cult, there was no orgy, its all about women&

Always trying to play the "cult" word game. Misrepresenting and distorting. And trying to play the "benign cult" game as well, that is another standard comment. (a benign cult is really an oxymoron for this website). As well as the tired cliche about Church ____ is a cult. Why even talk about a Church, when HAI tries to market itself as group sexual psychotherapy? Read

Its interesting to see some of the thoughts of an apparent former member of OneTaste. First off, this is not a personal criticism of a former member of OneTaste, who has their own view of what may or many not have happened to them. But it is very interesting to see those views, and to compare them to the objective known facts, and other knowledge about these kinds of groups and sects. People
