I gave a presentation at the University of Chicago's Sex Week on video games that teach sexuality and gender. Here's the list of the games I mentioned:

 

• Merritt Copas has a simple text-based game that highlights the importance of getting your partners’ explicit consent when engaging in sex.

 

• Nicki Case has a nice short game on coming out of the closet.

 

• HappyPlayTime, a game for girls to learn how to masturbate in which users simulate various techniques by moving their fingers over their touchscreens in certain patterns and at certain pace.

 

• Luxuria Superbia is a wonderful and colorful game that deals with the importance of pacing and self-control during sex. In Luxuria Superbia, you use your fingers to touch flowers in a magical tunnel that talks dirty to you in the loveliest of ways. The trick is to pace yourself and not touch too many flowers too quickly.

 

• A masterpiece of the genre is dys4ia, a clever and original simulation of what it’s like to go thru hormone-replacement therapy for transgender individuals.
