This is probably as disturbing as the new "Hero" game: Life Hero! Where the crowd goes wild if you perfectly fold your laundry on the music's beat or by washing the dishes like a pro!
Sounds more like Heavy Rain II to me.

"Which gender is the term "slut" most commonly applied to?"
Applied to women... BY MALES!
You are mistaken by a mile if you don't think women and girls also use that term in describing sexually active females. In adolescence, in fact, I'd wager that females use it more often. Female bullying is done through social engineering, and a pejorative term is clearly more likely to be used by people who would want to shame or slander a sexually active female, rather than by people likely to see sexual proclivity as a very, very good thing.

Teach those boys to be gentlemen, teach them a thing or two about respecting women.
As long as they're teaching women to be ladies, and teaching them a thing or two about respecting men, I'm down with that. Such as how to use
clear and precise language in rebuking sexual advances instead of being coy because you like the attention, leading the guy on so he'll buy you things, and so forth.
While we're on the subject, I'd be fine with a PSA game teaching boys the kinds of things they need to think about before having sex. What
some women are capable of in the name of getting pregnant. How they can expect to be treated in family courts. If we're going to teach girls not to get pressured into sex, why don't we teach boys not to get pressured out of insisting on prenups or paternity tests? And so forth.
For that matter, they could easily use a trivia game to educate teens of both genders on how thoroughly convoluted the age of consent laws are. How many teenagers would know that crossing state lines to have sex with a long-distance relationship can get you (well, get the male) on the sex offender registry? Or that homosexual relationships often have higher ages of consent? Some of the states have formulae for age of consent look more bizarre than the kinds of artificial moral quandaries smartasses propose to their pastor, and would be beyond the understanding of some adults.
Bottom line -- let's start teaching kids about sex, yes, but let's start teaching them about the
realities of sex. Moral ranting about the most natural thing a human being ever wants to do is one thing, the medical education on the subject is at least passable, but let's start doling out some good, hard knowledge about the legal aspects of it.
