What do orgasms, business, and cults have in common? I’m sure not many of us thought about that until a new documentary on Netflix aired called “Orgasm, Inc: The Story of OneTaste.” When does a business become a cult and can a cult be a business?

I will never listen again your comment on trump supporters is way off
We r sick of liberals running the country and slowly taking all freedoms.
I confused by what freedoms “liberals” have taken away from you? certainly not guns, etc. The reason I mention Trump in this segment is because it is the only explanation why a politician who has been indicted 93 times, still is the leading choice on the Republican side to be president. It’s got to be a cult of personality because for his followers, he can do no wrong. Remember Gary Hart, Democratic candidate for president was caught having a women sit on his lap and he was out of the race shortly there after. Thomas Eagleton and Ed Muskie cried, he was out. Lots of examples here.
