Gloss is a NYC-based latex-focused community organizer.

We are here to rebuild the lost latex fetish scene of NYC past. We are a sex-positive, consent-first organizer who strives to build a community of intentional, fun, and kind rubberists.

FAQS

  • Anyone can apply, and we do have public non-play events!

    Our private events are always vetted, which means an existing Gloss member knows you and vouch for you as a safe, fun player.

    If you don’t know anyone, you can always attend the public events and get to know the community that way!

  • For people who aren’t local to the NYC area, we do offer video call screens for vetting. Make sure to note your availability for a call in your application!

  • We process applications as fast as we can, but depending on sponsor responses it can take longer or shorter. When you’ve been accepted you’ll receive a welcome email and be added to the Instagram close friends list. If you submit an application and do not hear back within 1 week, you can email us to confirm your application was received and does not need any further information.

  • We distribute passwords via our emails and our instagram close friends stories! Make sure to check your spam if you aren’t seeing our emails.

  • Our private events are vetted and we have trained guardians on-duty throughout the night! In addition, we believe in harm reduction (organizers have NARCAN at all times) and accountability (submit any incident reports via the form in the footer). You can read more about our policies in our charter.

  • As soon as we receive them! Rest assured we will not horde the pictures, we want you to share them with the world too. Keep an eye on your email (and make sure you’ve added admin@glossgroup.nyc to your contacts)!
