Industry of Orgasm

Gawker: My Life With The Thrill-Clit Cult:

This was the first night of OMXperience, a three-day August conference meant to "kick off the industry of orgasm," with speakers including Naomi Wolf, New York Times bestselling author Dr. Sara Gottfried, and Robbie Richman, the former "culture strategist" at Zappos. Roughly 1,400 people had paid between $200 and $400 to attend.

"...industry of orgasm"? Really? Because we don't have nearly enough commercialization and commodification of sex, and we need some sort of large social structure with which to institutionalize the economic exploitation of orgasm?

Color me dubious.
