ALEXANDRIA, VA (August 5, 2015) – Berman Innovations, creator of The Semenette®, is pleased to announce their sponsorship of sixth annual Sexual Freedom Summit. The Summit, held August 12 – 16 at the Hilton Mark Center in Alexandria, Virginia, is the one conference focused on sexual freedom as a fundamental human right in the US. The Summit is presented by the Woodhull Sexual Freedom Alliance, the nation’s leading sexual freedom and human rights organization, honored by Proclamation in Washington, DC.

“It was very important to me, personally, to sponsor Woodhull’s Summit,” says Stephanie Berman, CEO of Berman Innovations and creator of The Semenette®. “I strongly support their mission to educate and empower individuals about sexual freedom and rights. The Summit offers a vast range of speakers and events; we are thrilled to support and be a part of this important conference.”

With four days of institutes, workshops, plenaries, SARs, and social events, the focus of Woodhull Sexual Freedom Alliance’s annual Sexual Freedom Summit is global recognition of our fundamental human right to sexual freedom. From gender expression to reproductive justice, LGBT rights to polyamory, sex work to spirituality, and much more, the Sexual Freedom Summit welcomes attendees to bring ideas and concerns to the table, all within a human rights framework. The schedule of institutes and workshops, roundtable discussions, and sessions cover a gamut of topics, ranging from geriatric sexuality, abuse, sex education, religion, gender identities, mental health, condom use, policy trends, intellectual and developmental disabilities, consent, sex work, and more.

“We’re thrilled to welcome The Semenette® into our family of sponsors,” says Ricci Levy, Executive Director of The Woodhull Sexual Freedom Alliance. “We’re thankful for every sponsor who supports sexual freedom as a fundamental human right by supporting the Sexual Freedom Summit.”

The Summit is for everyone interested in sexual freedom – from activists, educators, students, attorneys, and clinicians, to people who are simply curious about how to make the world a freer place for all.

News of The Semenette and Berman Innovations has gone viral since early 2015; 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 recently 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.

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 a Semenette® success story; she and her wife successfully used the product to conceive their daughter a year ago.

Recipient of Techie.com’s Editor’s Choice Lightning Bolt Award for Emerging Technology, and industry nominations for Couples Sex Toy of the Year, New Product 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. For more information, visit http://TheSemenette.com.
