WHAT: iHeartPodcasts and School of Humans today debut anctum Unmasked,” a new 8-part podcast series that explores the secretive sex empire known as SNCTM.

In 2013, Damon Lawner founded what became known as the most elite sex club in the world. He called it SNCTM. When he conceived of the club, he was a million dollars in debt, struggling to keep his family afloat. And just a few years later, people were paying him hundreds of thousands of dollars to get into his exclusive, debaucherous masquerade parties. 

anctum Unmasked” is a podcast that follows that journey. It takes a nuanced, fun and comedic look into money, power and sex, set in the backdrop of Hollywood. Along the way, we dive into Damon’s own personal exploration of sexuality and taboo — one that reflected the experiences of his guests and performers — and how it would ultimately turn his life upside down.

What really happens when you shed societal expectations and unapologetically pursue personal sexual freedom?

WHO: anctum Unmasked” is hosted by American writer, television host and producer Karley Sciortino. Sciortino is the founder of Slutever, a website that focuses on sex and sexuality, and executive producer and host of the Viceland documentary series of the same name. Sciortino also writes Vogue's online sex and relationships column, Breathless. anctum Unmasked” is distributed by iHeartPodcasts.
