It’s like walking into a scene from the film Eyes Wide Shut, only this is real life.
Welcome to Snctm, the most elite sex club in the world, where fantasies — no matter how kinky — can become reality.
The club’s masquerade parties are a huge hit among Hollywood society — even Gwyneth Paltrow has attended for research purposes — and now it’s coming to the UK.
Owner Damon Lawner tells The Sun: “I have members in the US who have homes in London and they’ve been saying I need to come over.
“I have been hearing it so much so I felt it was time to get over to the UK and do it.”
Damon, 47, came up with the idea for the club, which charges up to £50,000 for membership, after watching the erotic 1999 film Eyes Wide Shut five years ago.
Starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, it features a married couple secretly questioning monogamy. In one scene, Tom’s character finds himself at a satanic sex party held in a mysterious mansion.
The first event was held in Beverly Hills in 2013 and they have been held monthly ever since.
Now he plans to host two parties in London, on May 26 and August 26, and they will feature Snctm’s mix of sexual experimentation, burlesque and erotic theatre.
Damon, who is now divorced, says: “It’s like a very upscale black-tie cocktail party. But you’re seeing very surrealistic, ritualistic performance.
“Then after midnight it seems to evolve into this party where people want to get undressed and make love.”
The parties are restricted to just 100 guests, and women always outnumber men by about three to one.
Men must wear black tie and women dresses or lingerie.
Masks are mandatory and phones are banned.
There is also a meticulous vetting process that sees Damon’s team sift through thousands of applications.
While he is keen to maintain Snctm’s promise of anonymity to its guests, Damon has said: “Wikipedia them and they’re serious business people, who are making the cars we drive and the movies we watch.”
And according to Damon, actress Gwyneth has attended one of Snctm’s events with her now fiancé Brad Falchuk, who co-created hit TV show Glee.
They were there in a professional capacity, and she has even featured Snctm on her GOOP website.
Brad is looking into producing a fictional series based on Damon’s life.
While membership for men ranges from £7,000 to £50,000, women don’t have to pay.
Instead, they must submit an application form, including full-body photos.
