Berman Innovations CEO to Speak at WGBH’s ‘BostonTalks: Happy Hour’

  BOSTON — Berman Innovations CEO Stephanie Berman will participate in this month’s BostonTalks Happy Hour: Sex and Our City event on Thursday, February 23. Presented by WGBH in Boston, the event will allow the public to hear Berman and other speakers discuss Boston’s sexual history, and how it has shaped the city.  “I’m super thrilled to be a part of this event in my hometown of Boston!” says Berman. “This is such a unique style and format for a speaking event, and I’m honored to have the opportunity to incorporate my story into the history of our beloved city. I’m grateful to the team at WGBH for including me in this wonderful lineup of speakers, and look forward to making a memorable presentation!”  Attendees will hear from and connect with local experts in a variety of fields, including writer and dance scholar Jessica Berson, who will shed light on the business and history of erotic performance. Independent scholar Lori Stokes shares how the Puritans might not have been so pure after all. Professor and author Stephanie Schorow goes back in time to downtown Boston's adult entertainment district known as the Combat Zone, and Stephanie Berman, inventor of The Semenette, explains how she is making history by revolutionizing the way babies are made. Each event combines short speaking programs, drinks, and a chance to join the conversation.  BostonTalks Happy Hour: Sex And Our City will be held at WGBH Studios, One Guest Street, Brighton, MA 02135 on Thursday, February 23. Doors open at 7pm EST; free parking is available in the garage next door. Those interested in attending may click here and use the promo code BOSTON for free registration. Guests must be 21 or over to attend.  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, she has extensive knowledge and understanding of the women’s reproductive health market. The company’s flagship product, The Semenette, and its second iteration, POPDildo, allow partners to mimic traditional intercourse, and re-create the ejaculation process in the privacy of their own home through its proprietary inner tubing and pump system – something that sets it apart from both traditional dildos and “party”-style ejaculating toys. Berman herself is the first of many success stories for The Semenette, since she and her wife successfully used the product to conceive their daughter and son.  The Semenette 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, erectile dysfunction, and serodiscordant communities.     North American retailers interested in carrying POPDildo may email [email protected]/* */ to place their orders.
