Stephanie Berman to Hold Family Planning Workshop at Sex Expo NY

NEW YORK — Stephanie R. Berman, CEO of Berman Innovations and creator of the ejaculating dildo The Semenette, will host the workshop “Making Love and Making Babies” at Sex Expo New York 2017.

Presented by Chaturbate, the Sex Expo is set for Sept. 23-24 at the Brooklyn Expo Center. Sex Expo NY will feature showcases and product demonstrations from top manufacturers of pleasure products with adult retail chain The Pleasure Chest serving as official sex education sponsor.

“I am thrilled to be presenting at the Sex Expo in NYC,” Berman said. “This will be my second time presenting, but this topic is much more personal to me; so, I am even more excited to share it with people. My workshop will be focused on family planning and sex: pre-, during, and post-conception.”

Berman added, “So often, couples get lost in the emotional rollercoaster of trying to conceive, and as a result, sex can often become regimented, routine and scheduled — and for conception purposes only. It takes all the fun out of the (trying-to-conceive) process. I will be offering information and strategies to deal with restoring fun to the conception process as well as discussing conception options for LGBTQ+ couples.”

The Semenette allows couples to emulate traditional intercourse through its tubing and pump system. The conception process, Berman said, should be as enjoyable as possible for couples.

“I am passionate about these topics, as I have been in the women’s reproductive health industry for 14 years (and have been) helping to provide couples with medical technologies for trying to conceive,” Berman said. “I have extensive knowledge in all methods of conception, with a specialization in LGBTQ+ couples trying to conceive. In 2012, I invented The Semenette, now known as POP Dildo — which has widely been recognized as the modern-day turkey baster method for home insemination. In fact, my wife and I successfully conceived both of our children at home with my invention.

“I love that Sex Expo provides a platform for me to share the knowledge I have gained in both my personal and professional life,” Berman said.

Pleasure products manufacturer We-Vibe is serving as registration sponsor for Sex Expo NY, which is currently offering free tickets to the groundbreaking event.

The Brooklyn Expo Center is located at 72 Noble Street in Brooklyn’s Greenpoint area and is within walking distance of the MTA’s Greenpoint Avenue subway station. To reach the Brooklyn Expo Center from Manhattan, take the G Train.
