BOSTON— Sssh.com, the erotica and sexuality website designed and run for women by women, is proud to announce that it has been nominated for an AVN Award in the Best Alternative Website category. The recognition by AVN is especially gratifying considering that it is the first time an adult website created exclusively for women has received such an accolade.

“We want to thank the nomination committee at AVN for recognizing the quality of our work on Sssh.com,” said founder Angie Rowntree. “This endeavor is not just a business but also a labor of love for me and all of the contributors to the site. I am honored on behalf of them by this nomination.”

The AVN Awards will be announced live on Saturday, January 21, 2012 at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. For ticket information, please go here.
