“My Sex Doctor” is an app geared to educate users about topics from puberty to relationships. The app has everything from a dictionary to facts and frequently asked questions. It is geared toward the ages between 14-25, but it can be useful for all ages. The app was created by Fabrizio Dolfi who was inspired after reading an article on sexually transmitted diseases.
Dolfi felt that there was a lack of knowledge on sex education. He was also aware that most of the time younger people were not comfortable to ask questions on the controversial subject. Because of this, Dolfi birthed the MYSD app. The journey to creating this app was not easy . There was a lot of time and energy that went into its creation. It took a little over a year, conducting surveys and researching. Just two months ago MYSD was available for purchase on both iTunes and Google Play.
Though the app is filled with a wealth of knowledge, it is very discrete in appearance. This was important in the creation because Dolfi realized that people want to educate themselves; not be in awe of appearance. Once the app is opened it is split up into three different categorizes: topics, dictionary and 100 things you must know. They all contain a different variety of information, but have the same basic set up. The app is very easy to navigate through.
The way the app is designed makes it look as if an individual is reading a news article. This design makes it very personal for an individual who may want to keep their exploration a secret.
The topics section is split up into 20 categorizes. Each of those 20 categories has multiple sub-categories. The definitions section is filled with over 50 definitions, which also includes common slang words. A few slang words defined for the app user would be words such as: ‘back door’, ‘barebacking’ and ‘snog’. Finally the 100 things you must know has 100 important questions. Once you click on the question it provides you with the important information.
When using the app it is without a doubt that you will learn something new. It is jam packed with informative ideas and concepts. Though it is age specific, the app creates a learning experience from virgins to the more experienced. Dolfi will have a demonstration of the app at the upcoming Health 2.0 Europe conference in London, hoping this boosts the popularity of the app.
