Come As You Are

– San Francisco Commune Dedicated to the Female Orgasm Specializes In Happy Beginnings –

There’s a magical place in San Francisco known as the One Taste commune where every morning “about a dozen women, naked from the waist down, lie with eyes closed in a velvet-curtained room, while clothed men huddle over them, stroking them in a ritual known as orgasmic meditation — ‘OMing,’ for short.”

Or, if the guys are really good, ‘OMGing.’

The men and women are part of a community focused on the female orgasm. Interestingly enough, One Taste is just down the street from VIP Escorts, a business focused on the male orgasm.

Man, there’s something for everyone in San Francisco. The kids can have fun down at Fisherman’s Wharf while mommy and daddy are getting their laundry done by hand a cable car ride away on Folsom Street.

According to the New York Times, the One Taste center encompasses “strands of radical individual freedom, Eastern spirituality and feminism.”

One of the ways the group did this was to offer naked yoga classes. The classes sparked a surprising increase in the number of people who signed up for the Introductory Yoga Package.

One Taste was forced to discontinue the popular series, however, when the commune discovered crowd control required too many additional personnel and the ban on taking cell phone videos was too hard to enforce.

There are communities focused on all kinds of things like helping the homeless, raising cancer awareness and rehashing American Idol. So, it’s really no surprise there is a group focused on exploring the female orgasm or, as it’s more commonly referred to, the search for the Holy Grail.

Devotees explain that “all this OMing is really about the ‘hydration’ of the self, the human connection, not sex.” Pretty much the same way Playboy magazine is about the articles.

“It’s a procedure to nourish the limbic system, like yoga or Pilates,” explains one of One Taste’s leaders.

Although, if your Pilates teacher is fingering you to a climax you probably need to either Taser them, hire a marriage counselor or spring for the more expensive one-on-one sessions.

There is a Pilates move called the Teaser, but it’s really got nothing to do with sex unless your instructor wears really loose shorts when demonstrating the move.

Still, in a world filled with nuclear test launches, crazed gunmen and Somali pirates, there are probably worse things you could do than to have a willing partner double-click your mouse to start your day.

Really, all we are saying is … give pleasing a chance.
