A Canadian-made app is taking a light-hearted approach to informing the public about female sexual satisfaction and closing the 91Ƶorgasm gap.91Ƶ

The mobile game app, called , was launched last week by the National Film Board in collaboration with the Université du Québec à Montréal. The 91Ƶorgasm gap91Ƶ refers to the disparity of understanding in women91Ƶs and men91Ƶs 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 91Ƶmotion techniques91Ƶ to make it happy.

Once a user hits the 91Ƶgoal,91Ƶ 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 Valentine91Ƶs 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. That91Ƶs 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 men91Ƶs and women91Ƶs sexual pleasure, according to the app creators, is a lack of understanding about the female sex organ. Discovered in 1559, it wasn91Ƶt until 2015 that the first 3-D model of the clitoris appeared.

91ƵWe all know what a penis looks like,91Ƶ a news release reads. 91ƵPerhaps it91Ƶs high time we got to know more about the clitoris.91Ƶ

Here91Ƶs what a few taxpayers thought about the government91Ƶs announcement91Ƶ
