I'm always happy to support a great organization and event and am thrilled POPDildo™ has been positively embraced by the FTM community. We congratulate all the nominees and winners, and look forward to presenting a POPDildo™ to the winner this year.”

Kristel Penn, marketing and editorial director for Grooby Productions, said, “We're so grateful to have Berman Innovations back as a sponsor of the Best FTM Scene category.
