British women pay £147 to reach the Big O

A new fad, called orgasmic meditation, helps female clients improve sex lives with a little help from strangers.

File this away under wild and wacky. According to a UK tabloid, some women will go to great lengths to improve their sex lives. A new trend suggests that many are paying strangers to touch their private parts and provide sexual stimulation.

The trend, which has been labelled 'orgasmic meditation', involves group masturbation classes. The classes are about "a larger state of consciousness, improving intimacy in relationships and generally increasing your orgasm skills". Orgasmic meditation has been growing in popularity since it was founded in 2001. There are more than 10,000 practitioners all over the world and 2,000 in the UK alone. The sessions attract couples ranging anywhere between 20-year-olds and 80-year-olds.

Orgasmic meditation was founded by Nicole Daedone and her San Francisco-based organisation OneTaste.
Daedone once said: "The female orgasm is vital for every woman on the planet." Each session costs £147.
