“My sexual education class was so interesting, educational and straightforward.”

Said no one ever. We didn’t want to ask the questions or be in the room or even exist during the sex-ed days.

We might laugh about it now but the sex-ed learned in schools, the same sessions we cringed through, is too often the only sexual education that American children receive. Some girls graduate high school without knowing what a vulva is. Many of them teach themselves. There is, however, the issue of finding high quality and accurate resources for such an education.

Enter HappyPlayTime, an online game designed to educate people of all ages, genders, and orientations about female masturbation and genitalia.

Though this application does not offer a comprehensive sexual education, it does a great job of focusing on female sex organs and their functions.

Follow Happy, the app's vulva-shaped mascot and guide through your educational and entertaining journey. People who have (and/or appreciate the existence of) vaginas can learn masturbation techniques that can then be tried out on Happy.

The aim of the game is to see how many times one can make Happy achieve orgasm in a 60-second period.

The higher your score and the more you play, the more information you can unlock about the world’s greatest tubular sex organ. These lessons can then be applied in real life situations. The app, eventually, was widely received, but there were many hiccups in the original production.

The application was originally designed for iOS and similar systems but was rejected by Apple on the basis of "inappropriate" content.

Designer Tina Gong then decided to forgo the typical app creation process and keep the entire system online and mobile friendly; it works on nearly all internet browsers. HappyPlayTime has been featured in several publications including the Huffington Post and Cosmopolitan. Its existence is a big deal in the sexual education world. Resources like this allow people of all ages to actively learn about a once taboo topic without the initial awkwardness brought on by large group presentations, PowerPoints, and Q&A sessions.

Applications such as HappyPlayTime make learning about healthy sex practices, including masturbation, fun and engaging. This is especially important for women. Recent American studies (2012) have discovered that approximately 42 percent of women masturbated in a year compared to 63 percent of men. Gong and her team of developers hope to normalize female masturbation through easily accessible sexual knowledge.

There should be no shame in exploring your body thoroughly and anyone who attempts to staunch such expeditions are, in my opinion, decidedly rude.

Have at it, my friends.
