Sssh.com Picks Up AVN Nomination for Specialty Site of the Year

BOSTON, Mass.Sssh.com, the erotica and sexuality website designed and maintained for women by women,, has been nominated by AVN for 2012 Specialty Site of the Year.

Sssh.com offers an extensive, evolving source of information and entertainment from bold and brassy to tender and traditional. Providing a safe place for women to explore their sexuality, the company continues to grow the website's scope in order to reach a wider audience of women interested in high quality, intelligent erotic content.

The website has seen tremendous growth this year with the popularity of female fan fiction, as women search online for erotica that is more sensual, intimate and from a woman’s point of view.

Founder/CEO, Angie Rowntree, says: “When we first launched Sssh.com back in 1999, I knew that there was a need on the internet for women to explore erotica in a way that appealed to them outside of the traditional recipes for “porn”, providing a safe haven for adult content viewing presented in a hot, yet tasteful way.  Since that time, our combination of original films for women and couples, sexy photoshoots, editorial, educational videos and resources, original eBooks, and all of the pop culture features that women enjoy has lead to Sssh.com being the premier destination on the internet for “Erotica For Women - By Women”.  “

“In just the past several years, this has all come to fruition with the emergence of so many women looking for smart and sexy erotica on the internet, as well as the mainstream media attention we have received by being featured on ABC Nightline, Time Magazine, Cosmo, The London Sunday Times, Le Figaro, The Jay Thomas Show,  and dozens of other media outlets that have reached out to us to explain this entire phenomena. I’m very proud and appreciative that AVN has nominated our unique, entertaining and informative site that reaches outside the traditional forms of adult entertainment.”

Because no woman is an island, Sssh.com embodies a community where women can relax, enjoy, learn and feel good about being sexual, sensual beings without sacrificing personal ethics. Sssh.com encourages each member to approach her journey at her own pace: Content is arranged by levels, each clearly annotated with its degree of explicitness. After all, women may be curious about what a guy has, but they’re more interested in discovering how he uses it.

Sssh.com was recently profiled on ABC’s Nightline. Elle.com, one of the largest and most read women’s fashion and editorial websites in the world, listed Sssh.com as “one of the websites to see,” describing the website as the best place for movies and advice, plus “it has a hunky guy photo gallery.” The International Business Times has recently heralded Sssh.com, as well.
