Conception Innovator’s Ejaculating Dildo Recognized by Industry Peers for ‘Outstanding Non-Powered Product’!

LAS VEGAS (December 12, 2016) – Berman Innovations’ POPDildo is nominated in the Outstanding Non-Powered Product category for the 2017 “O” Awards. The conception innovator initially invented The Semenette® out of a desire to solve a problem for lesbian couples wishing to circumvent the IVF process; the second iteration of its patented, innovative ejaculating dildo has since seen a demand from a wide range of sex-positive communities.

“What an incredible honor it is to receive an ‘O’ Award nomination this year!” says Semenette® CEO Stephanie Berman. “A big thanks to AVN for choosing POP to be a nominee in this category, amongst so many other great products. I especially enjoy the more intimate nature of the ‘O’ Awards, and look forward to celebrating this wonderful recognition.”

Now in its eighth year, the “O” Awards honor the best products and collections from leading and cutting-edge manufacturers. The ceremony for the 2017 “O” Awards will take place Thursday, January 19, 2017 during the AVN Novelty Expo in Las Vegas.

Berman Innovations is also nominated for Best Pleasure Product Manufacturer (Small) for the upcoming 2017 AVN Awards.

Berman has been in the women’s reproductive health industry since 2003. As co-owner and Vice President of her family business, Sepal Reproductive International, as well as CEO of The Semenette®, Stephanie has extensive knowledge and understanding of the women’s reproductive health market. The Semenette®, and its second iteration, POPDildo™, allow partners to mimic traditional intercourse through its proprietary inner tubing and pump system, complete with ejaculation – something that sets it apart from both traditional dildos and “party”-style ejaculating toys. POPDildo™ has quickly found a fan base in people excited by its potential for play, who recognize the technology sets it apart from both traditional dildos and “party”-style ejaculating toys. POPDildo™ has since skyrocketed to the top of the “wish list” for a wide variety of community members, including pegging enthusiasts, kinksters, and fetishists.

The Semenette® (http://TheSemenette.com), a novelty intimacy product, allows partners to re-create the ejaculation process in the privacy of their own home, through its proprietary inner tubing and pump system. Berman herself is the first of many Semenette® success stories; she and her wife successfully used the product to conceive their daughter and son. The product experienced its first viral wave soon after its launch in early 2015, and global media attention has not waned about the company’s innovative approach to at-home conception for the LGBT, FTM / trans, disabled, and serodiscordant communities.
