The Semenette Receives 2016 XBIZ Awards 'Specialty Product/Line of the Year' Nomination

LOS ANGELES — The Semenette has been nominated "Specialty Product/Line of the Year" for the 2016 XBIZ Awards.

The novelty intimacy product was initially created to offer lesbian couples insemination options beyond traditional IVF and “turkey baster” routes.

It 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.

"I am truly honored to be nominated for a second year in this category," Semenette CEO Stephanie Berman said. "To be recognized by my peers and colleagues once again is a huge testament to our product.

"It’s been incredible to see how The Semenette has evolved into something necessary for such a wide variety of sex positive communities, and I am thrilled to be recognized by XBIZ with this nomination," she added.
