BOSTON—Berman Innovations, creator of The Semenette, launched its Indiegogo campaign today. Funds from the popular crowdfunding source will be used to develop and manufacture Version 2 of its innovative and award-nominated line of products.
"Our flagship Semenette has been very successful,” said Stephanie Berman, president and CEO of The Semenette. “As innovators seeking to improve couples’ sex lives, we are always striving to provide our customers with consistent improvements and options to meet their needs. The desires of our customers are always evolving, and we aim to evolve our toys with them.”
Perks for the campaign include SpareParts HardWear harnesses, JoyBoxx storage systems and Uberlube personal moisturizers, as well as Semenette swag packs, an Original Semenette and pre-sale access to a Semenette V2.
In addition, premium perks include the following:
“A Night of Sex Education,” an all-expense-paid overnight trip to Rhode Island, including dinner with Berman and renowned sex educator Megan Andelloux.
“Loving Ladies in Lingerie,” an all-expense-paid overnight trip to Las Vegas, including a pass to the International Lingerie Show and a Semenette V2.

The Semenette, a novelty sex aid product, allows partners to mimic traditional intercourse through its proprietary inner tubing and pump system, re-creating the ejaculatory 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.
The Semenette V2 will maintain the innovative design of its debut product line, giving users the capability to remove and replace functional components with each use. The refreshed line will include several non-anatomically-realistic shape and color options—items highly sought after by lesbian communities not interested in using male-identified sex toys during play—as well as different sized shaft and bulb options, and an overall softer silicone.
“With V2, we have heard our customers’ needs and opinions to develop aesthetic changes to make the toy more universal, while keeping the functionalities intact,” said Berman. “We have also heard from a variety of sex-positive communities as to The Semenette’s appeal as a pleasure product. We have partnered with some great industry colleagues to offer some fun perks, and look forward to working with our fans and customers to make these new options a reality.”
Recipient of Techie.com’s Editor’s Choice Lightning Bolt Award for Emerging Technology, The Semenette is made of premium silicone, is non-toxic and phthalate-free, and manufactured entirely in the USA. For more information, visit http://TheSemenette.com.
