The Semenette Exhibiting At The Original LGBT Expo

NEW YORK—Berman Innovations, creator of The Semenette, will exhibit at The Original LGBT Expo Saturday, Feb. 28. Company President and CEO Stephanie Berman will also be appearing on Sirius/XM Out Q’s The Derek & Romaine Show the night before The Expo, to discuss the product and give away tickets. “I’m so happy to be a part of The Original LGBT Expo,” said Berman. “The theme of The Expo this year is ‘Stand Up, Stand Out,” which is inspiring me as a businesswoman, entrepreneur, and lesbian. It’s not always easy to put yourself out there, but this Expo provides a safe and fun platform to showcase so many amazing people and products. We are thrilled to share the new things we are working on at such a great event!” For more than two decades, The Original LGBT Expo has been at the forefront in the charge to increase the visibility of those companies that had, and continue to have, the foresight in recognizing the true influence of the LGBT community. With 25,000 fans in the largest city in the United States, people flock to the “Big Apple” to not just attend, but to participate. From travel companies to banking institutions, companies representing technology, entertainment, and even education, mainstream companies catering to the LGBT community and its needs exhibit at The Expo.

The Derek and Romaine Show is a popular afternoon drive talk show that The Washington Post called "frisky, free-wheeling… a distinctly different brand of radio." Filled with free-form chatter, candid and frank discussions and tons of laughs, DnR is a unique radio experience hosted by the gay/lesbian duo Derek Hartley and Romaine Patterson. Now in its twelfth year, the show is a wild and witty romp, interacting with a wide variety of celebrity guests, including Samuel L. Jackson, Rosie O’Donnell, Meredith Vieira, Perez Hilton, and Gold medalist Shaun White, as well as experts and real people sharing personal experiences. “I am a big fan of Derek and Romaine, and it’s a huge honor to be a guest on their show,” said Berman. “I often have to censor what I talk about when it comes to The Semenette, and I’m thrilled to be able to talk openly and candidly about the product and my personal journey with it. I love when I get the opportunity to share the trials and tribulations of my personal journey, and how it has taken me to where I am today. I have no shortage of interesting stories to share, and am looking forward to doing so with Derek and Romaine!” Berman will be appearing on the show live at 5:20 p.m. PST / 8:20 p.m. EST on Friday, Feb. 27. Listeners calling into the show will have the opportunity to win one of two pairs of tickets to The Original LGBT Expo. Berman Innovations launched an Indiegogo campaign last week, to crowdfund the development and manufacturing of Version 2 of its innovative and award-nominated line of products. Perks for the campaign include all-expense-paid trips, SpareParts HardWear harnesses, JoyBoxxstorage systems, and Uberlube personal moisturizers, as well as Semenette swag packs, an Original Semenette, and pre-sale access to a Semenette V2. To visit the Indiegogo campaign, visit https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-semenette-a-realistic-ejaculating-sex-toy/x/9718310. The campaign runs through March 30. 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, 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.
