From the UK publication The Times, 14 April 2022: Gwyneth Paltrow's sex guru, Nicole Daedone sues the BBC for libel. I assume this is in response to the BBC podcast The Orgasm Cult ? This seemed to me to cover the same ground as the Bloomberg articles , etc., so perhaps it is because the libel laws are different in the UK?

1. Everything in the previous comment about OneTaste was true ten years ago, when I lived there - and from what my friends still involved with OT tell me, still true today. The difference is that there is no more sex in classes, no more hands-on genital contact in how to OM classes, and no more public OM circles. But there are still real OM circles and demos for the staff. 2. “She (Nicole)
