It includes “Meet the Baumgartners,” “A Baumgartner Christmas,” “The Baumgartners Plus One,” “A Baumgartner Reunion,” and others about the erotic adventures of the sexy suburban couple.
The nominations are the newest honors for the film which earned Best Polyamory Feature at the 2017 AVN Awards, along with honors for Best Sex Scene – Feature and Best Marketing Campaign at the 2017 XBIZ Awards. The movie also earned First Choice honors at the 2016 NightMoves Awards.
