[Damon] Beverly Hills is home to some of the

most wealthy and powerful people in the world.

They drive the finest cars, shop at the best boutiques,

and they live in the most outrageous homes.

They also have access to the most exclusive

and high-end erotic club ever.

I created that club. It's called SNCTM.

♪ groovy music ♪

♪♪♪

SNCTM is a secretive society

where we do a black tie masquerade,

private dinner parties, and an erotic theater.

It's a place for my members

to explore their wildest fantasies,

and learn about their true sexual selves.

And now, I want to take SNCTM international.

Our first attempt at that is going to be Moscow.

I'm in Moscow putting together

the first international SNCTM party.

I'm away from my girlfriend.

There's a lot going on around me right now.

My visa showed up a day late.

I was supposed to fly yesterday.

So we're rehearsing and doing the show the same day?

- [Nick] Mm-hmm. - Holy fuck.

It's pretty intense.

I really hope that it goes well

and that we don't have any major incidents.

I've heard all kinds of stories.

I know that we're dealing with some very high-level people.

I know we've got some politicians in.

I know we've got Russian mafia,

a lot of interesting couples, and--and, you know,

this interaction is gonna be new on many levels.

♪ dramatic music ♪

It's a big risk for the brand, and if we're successful,

the sky's the limit.

Just a little bit back. Perfect.

Okay, go for it.

Your parties, they sound like something very secret

and very elite.

We don't have many things like that in Russia.

A couple weeks ago, a reporter came in from Moscow.

She writes for Esquire in Moscow.

And she came to ask questions about SNCTM

and sort of find out about the party we're gonna do there.

Well, so this is how it works.

You come into a place

where you're free to be a grown-up.

- Mm-hmm. - You're an adult.

If you want to have sex with somebody, you can.

If you meet a couple or a girl or multiple girls

or a guy or whatever you're into,

and you're turned on and you want to make love

at the event, you can.

That sounds fantastic.

Uh, that's why we were interested.

We actually tried to find something like that in Russia,

but we couldn't.

I think in Moscow, people are more afraid

of what this is at this moment.

Even though I know and you know

that people are indulging in this

maybe more in Moscow than anywhere else,

but they don't want to admit it.

Because what we've done in the U.S.

is really created this environment where men and women

come to enjoy each other. It's about men and women.

You know, it's not just about men.

And so the women feel, like, empowered.

I don't know if, culturally, Moscow or other cities

are even open to that,

but that's what we're gonna try to do.

I think you will change rules around the world.

In some countries, definitely.

I hope so.

It really was important to me to show her that Americans

aren't all a bunch of assholes

who are uptight about their country

and their government, et cetera.

There's so much in the news right now

about this conflict between us,

and as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't exist for me.

I just want to see what it looks like

and what it feels like and what the party is good by me.

But that's not because uh, one man

needs more women around him?

No, it was just something that I was compelled to explore.

And I built this world to explore.

I'm in a place where I get to have, like,

as much sex as I want, you know?

But that doesn't necessarily give me what I'm looking for.

And you are not ready to stop?

I'm definitely not ready to stop SNCTM.

But, you know, my own personal sex life,

that's something I'm still-- I'm still deciding on.

Like, what--what I want. What do you want?

- Me? - Yeah.

- In sex? - Yeah, like,

what kind of relationship would you want?

Um...

I'm only 22, so I have-- I didn't try many things.

Uh-huh, so now you're exploring?

- Yes, yeah. - Yeah.

It's a good place to be.

I really want to show that as far as a person,

an individual is concerned,

you know, like, "make love, not war"

is where I'm coming from, so let's go make love in Moscow.

- So how was your day? - My day was good.

We did some casting earlier.

We met some good girls, actually.

[speaking Russian]

Very nice. Everyone was nervous.

[speaking Russian]

[Damon] Like, the first girl, she came out

and she did like, a striptease for us.

Honestly, it felt very sad. Like, she's an object.

[woman] Russian women are the most beautiful

and amazing ladies in the world,

but they are so oppressed, like, by society

and our families, and yeah.

[speaking Russian]

[woman] He feels that in USA, he have more people

who are the same by their mind.

- Uh-huh. - Makes him to feel more free.

When I'm watching these girls,

it makes me feel really good about what we're doing.

Like, SNCTM entering Russia at this moment is perfect.

It's really perfect.

[speaking Russian]

[Damon] SNCTM is needed around the world now more than ever.

I mean, SNCTM's more important to me than ever,

and--and it's gonna be more important

to this group of people that I'm bringing into it.

[speaking Russian]

No, you look more happier, he's saying to you.

- I look happier now? - Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I feel-- I feel really happy.

I feel really good.

I'm enjoying where I'm at in my life.

I went through a lot.

And um, I was very in love, and I was--

20 years with someone who I cared very deeply for.

And then I realized that I needed something different.

You know, what I did is I spent three years

having the best sex of my life and tons of partners

and exploring everything that I've ever wanted to.

But now I feel that I want a partner again.

[chuckles]

Yeah, it's strange that the guy who owns SNCTM

and this sex club, and--and we're all about this thing

of erotic freedom and sexuality that I would find that

the best sex I have is when I'm with one person,

and I've committed to them.

And my test is, you know, can I be away

and--and be faithful.

- And that's--that's-- - Faithful, you mean, uh...

Not have sex.

I mean, there's so many gorgeous women,

and tomorrow night, it would be easy.

I can always go back to the old Damon.

I can always go back to a place where I just do

whatever I want, whenever I want, at all times,

regardless of anyone's feelings.

I want to see what happens

if I actually give a fuck about someone else.

[Damon] Hi, how are you? Have you guys met Alex?

Alex is my partner in Moscow and--and does the events here.

So I was introduced to these women at this bar,

and I went into a little bit about what I do,

and there--I was getting this reaction, like,

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

Like, "This is not okay."

Or, I don't know. They were acting very strange.

- [speaking Russian] - For her, it's bad.

Because she is educated this way by family.

She just never had experience of this kind of events.

- That's what she says. - Yeah.

[speaking Russian]

[Damon] From the women that I've talked to,

it was sounding and feeling like women are just repressed,

and they're not allowed to-- to be open about who they are.

They're certainly not allowed

to say out loud that they enjoy sex.

Women love sex as much as men do,

and really, some of the women I know

like it more than men do.

[speaking Russian]

Basically, if she looks from this point of view,

it's interesting, she said.

- Uh-huh, good. - [speaking Russian]

[Damon] I believe SNCTM can help women in Moscow.

It's making women really know that they're not objects

to be, you know, had sex with.

They're there for their own-- to seek their own pleasure.

And I hope that we can spread a really good message

about--about, you know, sexuality and about pleasure

and about love. That's the goal.

For SNCTM and for Mother Russia.

- Yeah. - Yeah, cheers.

It's not cheers. It's something else in Russian.

- Na zdrowie. - Na zdrowie.

[all] Na zdrowie!

Whoo!

A world where people were having good sex every day

I think would be a world where people were less aggressive,

less violent, and smiling a lot more, you know?

I want to see sex used as this thing

of bringing people together,

and I'm going to find out what Russians think

about their first SNCTM party tomorrow.

So what do you think so far of Moscow?

- I mean-- - It's not that cold anymore.

Russians, you know, they look, like, mean, but they're nice.

Oh, they're a lot nicer than you.

For some reason, I have a feeling that Americans

hate Russians.

I don't know why. They're like, such nice people.

They're so warm.

They look cold from the outside,

but they're really warm people.

They're actually very friendly, very open.

I was very--I was surprised.

- The girls are all beautiful-- - The girls are beautiful.

- Big blue eyes everywhere. - Shy, in a way.

Eh, possibly, they're just-- yeah, it's probably culture.

It's cold and it's miserable, and it's gray,

and there's-- there's not much sun,

and when there is, it's for a few hours.

So, yeah, I don't know how they deal with that.

But snow is great. We don't have that in LA.

So obviously, you know, a snowball fight.

[both laugh]

Yes--no, no, don't even try to pull that.

- I swear, if you do that-- - Yeah, what?

Don't--no, really.

I prefer summer. I prefer Los Angeles sun.

So, yeah, once a year or, like, less is fine for the snow.

we knew we were gonna take a step back on this.

We have a partner.

So the bottom line is that the Russians were doing everything.

They handled all the heavy lifting,

all the background, all the setup.

So this is obviously not done at all.

[Alina] This is a little bit different for me,

because usually, I'm in control of all the events.

And I always want it my way. So that's not easy.

Should we ask them when they think they're going

to be ready with those, you think?

[Nick] Those guys are going to be ready, like,

five minutes before.

Do you see the amount of work they have to do?

It's insane. This is a huge production.

It was hard to see other people working

and not be able to say exactly--

Okay, this go there. We do this, we do that.

I think it's going to be very interesting, different.

So yeah, it made me feel really cheap.

I--I wanted to have more control.

- Look at that, Alina. - What?

Lasers, and what is that? A smoke machine?

I've been to Russian parties in America and Germany,

and I always noticed they have just lasers everywhere.

And I was like, ugh.

It's a techno house.

I have a specific vision about SNCTM,

and I understand the whole look.

And some people don't get it,

and it's very hard to explain it to them.

So let's have an open mind, and let's see later.

Maybe the future of SNCTM is--

- A laser show, yeah! - With laser, yeah.

Lasers will ruin everything.

I hate fucking lasers.

It only takes one bad event to change the course

of everything that I've worked for.

How are you?

- So how's everything going? - Well, uh...

Okay.

While my concerns are making a great event

and scaling this business, they're worried about,

you know, getting arrested by police
