A Canadian-made app is taking a light-hearted approach to informing the public about female sexual satisfaction and closing the BԪַorgasm gap.BԪַ

The mobile game app, called , was launched last week by the National Film Board in collaboration with the Université du Québec à Montréal. The BԪַorgasm gapBԪַ refers to the disparity of understanding in womenBԪַs and menBԪַs sexual satisfaction.

Stop-motion videos introduce the anatomy of the clitoris on the app. Users then create a custom clitoris avatar and try out different BԪַmotion techniquesBԪַ to make it happy.

Once a user hits the BԪַgoal,BԪַ they can learn more about the awareness campaign through videos featuring the eight students who created the app and each received $1,000. You can play as many times as you like.

Pillow talk on ValentineBԪַs Day:

According to the Journal of Sexual Medicine, 62 per cent of heterosexual women will reach orgasm when having sex for the first time with a partner. ThatBԪַs compared to 85 per cent of men. Lesbian women reach orgasm 75 per cent of the time.

One of the reasons for the gap in menBԪַs and womenBԪַs sexual pleasure, according to the app creators, is a lack of understanding about the female sex organ. Discovered in 1559, it wasnBԪַt until 2015 that the first 3-D model of the clitoris appeared.
