A Canadian-made app is taking a light-hearted approach to informing the public about female sexual satisfaction and closing the 鈥渙rgasm gap.鈥�
The mobile game app, called Clit-me, was launched last week by the National Film Board in collaboration with the Universit茅 du Qu茅bec 脿 Montr茅al. The 鈥渙rgasm gap鈥� refers to the disparity of understanding in women鈥檚 and men鈥檚 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 鈥渕otion techniques鈥� to make it happy.
Once a user hits the 鈥済oal,鈥� 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.

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. That鈥檚 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 men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 sexual pleasure, according to the app creators, is a lack of understanding about the female sex organ. Discovered in 1559, it wasn鈥檛 until 2015 that the first 3-D model of the clitoris appeared.
