LOS ANGELES (July 9, 2015) – The Semenette® CEO Stephanie Berman will be making media rounds while in Los Angeles July 11 – 14. Berman will be spending her time on the west coast taking meetings with prospective business partners and interviewing on several podcasts, including “The Sex Talk” and “Between the Sheets.”

“I’m so excited about heading back to LA and to be a guest on these podcasts,” says Berman. “These shows have honest, witty, and candid approaches to talking about all things sex, and I’m looking forward to sharing my stories with their audiences.”

Often referred to as “The Naughty Dear Abby,” Lora is the author of the ebook “Bliss in the Bedroom” and a contributing columnist for The Huffington Post, LA Weekly, the Examiner, and a contributor to Cosmo For Latinas. Known for her blunt, straight talk laced with her own brand of humor, her readers are fiercely loyal followers. Berman’s appearance on “Between the Sheets” will be broadcast at 3pm PST / 6pm EST on Monday, July 20 at http://www.TRadioV.com. Archive shows may be viewed at http://lorasomoza.com and https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/between-sheets-lora-somoza/id403808155.

“The Sex Talk” is a web-series focusing on sex education and relationship / dating advice. Hosted by queer / kink friendly sex therapist and founder of Los Angeles Sex Therapy Moushumi Ghose and lesbian-identified actress and love coach Jenoa Harlow, the popular series aims to raise awareness about healthier attitudes regarding sex and sexuality.

Berman will also be attending “Trans Talk,” part of Stockroom University July 11. Presented by Stockroom and Grooby, the panel will discuss the transgender experience within today’s mainstream culture. Panelists Buck Angel, Morgan Bailey, Michelle Austin, and Tori Mayes will share parts of their personal journey and discuss the respectful use of pronouns, sexuality, labels in and out of the adult entertainment industry, and much more.

Adds Berman, “It’s incredible to witness the shift in our society regarding the acceptance and openness to talk about the transgender community.  Ever since I was introduced to Buck Angel, I have admired him and his story, and am thrilled to hear him speak in person along with the other guests at this great event.”

The Semenette®, a novelty intimacy product, allows partners to mimic traditional intercourse through its proprietary inner tubing and pump system, re-creating the ejaculation process in the privacy of their own home. Berman herself is the first of many Semenette® success stories; she and her wife successfully used the product to conceive their daughter a year ago, and recently announced they are trying for their second using her innovative product.

News of The Semenette and Berman Innovations went viral this past spring, and the media attention has not waned; international media has praised the company’s innovative approach to at-home conception for the LGBT, FTM trans, and serodiscordant communities. US media outlets, including Cosmopolitan, Refinery29, Daily Dot, and Women’s Health, as well as media in Italy, Greece, the UK, and more, have noted The Semenette’s impact on insemination options for couples trying to conceive outside of traditional IVF and “turkey baster” routes. Berman also appeared on a panel discussion on Huffington Post Live, to share her story alongside a medical professional and a lesbian couple starting their own journey with starting a family.

Global sales for The Semenette® since the media blitz, including countries such as South Africa, Brazil, India, and Mexico, have resulted in an immediate need to manufacture more product, to meet the exponentially growing demand. The company recently entered distribution deals in both Europe and South Africa, in addition to its retail partners in North America.

Recipient of Techie.com’s Editor’s Choice Lightning Bolt Award for Emerging Technology, and industry nominations for Couples Sex Toy of the Year and Specialty Pleasure Product of the Year, The Semenette® is made of premium medical-grade silicone, is non-toxic and phthalate-free, and manufactured entirely in the USA. The Semenette® is nominated for New Product of the Year (formerly Hot Product of the Year) for the 2015 StorErotica Awards. Recognizing excellence in the adult retail community, the StorErotica Awards honor those in the brick and mortar storefront, distributing, and manufacturing levels.
