There's not a lot of sexy romance involved in artificial insemination, but a new product called The Semenette is trying to change all that. Stephanie Berman, the inventor of the 6.25-inch hypoallergenic dildo with an internal tube and pump system that allows couples to mimic an ejaculating penis, says she and her wife successfully conceived their daughter using The Semenette, which is a pretty solid endorsement [via Bostinno.

Berman launched an Indiegogo campaign for the product and hopes to raise $50,000 to manufacture and package the product. The Semenette comes in vanilla, chocolate, or cinnamon colors and apparently just about any liquid can go inside so it doesn't have to be, like, legit semen, which is cool.
