EMPIRE OF ORGASM reviews and press
“Riveting and intimate.” ― Los Angeles Times
“Full of shocking revelations about a company that promised empowerment but provided only exploitation . . . Here are the facts, contextualized, no gawking like the voyeurs at the Warehouse with its doorless bedrooms. Huet tells it to us straight.” ―Los Angeles Review of Books
“A carefully written exposé of an ‘infinite game’ built on lust for wealth and power―but on mere lust, too.” ―Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“A compelling, deeply researched look into the group’s manipulative and exploitative practices . . . Huet’s journalism is top-notch.” ―BookPage (starred review)
“The Gospel of Getting Off” — Kismet
“Different Strokes” — The Baffler
“The Unbelievable Story of an Orgasmic Meditation Cult-Turned-Startup” — Culture Study
“Inside the ‘Empire of Orgasm’” — UnHerd
