I think a certain R.O. echoed the thoughts of many naysayers of Orgasmic Meditation in a hub thread when he said:

I am not saying it isn’t valuable, but it is not a sacred path or practice like Buddhism, HInduism, Jainism etc. When I say the name is a turnoff I mean just that. It is a very clever marketing name indeed. OM – Orgasmic Meditation.
