Elite sex club returns to New York with COVID rapid testing and armed security for VIPs to enjoy $3k erotic dinner
ELITE sex club Snctm is making a romping return to New York for the first time since the pandemic hit – with COVID-19 rapid testing for masked VIP guests, The Sun can exclusively reveal.
The secret society, which was once promoted by Gwyneth Paltrow on her Goop lifestyle website, will host the first in series of erotic events on a date to be confirmed next month, with tickets priced at an eye-watering $3,725.
A promotional email from the group, obtained by The Sun, lists the dinner as “extremely exclusive” hosted in a “secret and regal Manhattan residence”.
Organizers explain: “Our normal armed-security will be joined at the door by a Board-certified physician and his team performing SARS-CoV-2 rapid testing.
“Every person, staff and guest alike, will be required to test negative in order to gain admittance.
“But within our doors, the fête will begin and end with extravagance. Cocktails and champagne will be served in the parlor as Snctm’s Devotees tease and allure us to the accompaniment of a string quartet.”
While the extravagant fête will bring together an “unforgettable gathering of minds,” planners warn: “In this atmosphere of conversation and eroticism, conviviality and wit are esteemed; politics is strictly discouraged.”
Following the sexy cocktail hour, a 10-course meal will be served, cooked by a private, Michelin-starred chef.
Despite Snctm having dozens of members, the email explains due to the COVID-19 outbreak “this event by necessity will be curated more strictly,” with only eight couples’ tickets available.
The organizers teased members, excitedly adding: “For one night, we will shrug off the affairs of this world and revel once more in elegant, erotic excess.”
The private members’ club, which has been known to attract A list celebrities, has become known for hosting parties in cities from Moscow to Miami offering guests the chance to realise their wildest sexual fantasies.
The club’s etiquette guide says gentlemen are required to wear a proper tuxedo with a bow tie, while ladies must be “elegantly dressed in evening wear or lingerie”.
During the pandemic, Snctm was forced to cancel all of its pricey events, spending time instead focusing on promoting a new exclusive dating app for VIPs looking to connect virtually.

Speaking to the Sun previously, event founder Damon Lawner said he came up with the idea for the club six years ago after watching the erotic 1999 film Eyes Wide Shut starring Tom Cruise.
“It’s like a very upscale black-tie cocktail party. But you’re seeing a very surrealistic, ritualistic performance,” Lawner said.
“Then after midnight it seems to evolve into this party where people want to get undressed and make love.”
