It seems the more we investigate the education world, the more we learn about programs and initiatives that shock even the most jaded of people. We have seen sex summer camps for kids, gender ideology camps for kids and now, ta-da, a program to teach “sexual pleasure” to kids 12-18. This program is not a school program, but a program available in a community in Washington State.
It’s called the “Papaya Project” and if you are not sure how the name was chosen, let me give you a visual reference. This is from the project’s web page:
Please follow us on Gab, Minds, Telegram, Rumble, Truth Social, Gettr, Twitter
This is so bad that we even question its authenticity. SPECIAL NOTE: There is another PAPAYA PROJECT that sells products made from papayas and a hotel by the same name. They are not affiliated.
If you didn’t know any better and were browsing at work, you would probably close this site immediately so as not to get a visit from your human resources person. The visual representation is clearly not an accident. One look at the slogan tells you that.
The logo was created by the founder of this project, Naomi Price-Lazarus, who designed it and named it “super clit.”
The project explains it like this:
Papayas are juicy, healthy, and sensual fruit. They are consumed in many countries around the world, used as natural remedies for illnesses, and often act as symbols for female genitalia. So, what better way to represent the pleasure and juiciness of healthy sexuality than a papaya?
The Project describes itself as:
Papaya Project’s curriculum is rooted (in) intersectional feminism, acknowledging the ways in which our identities impact the ways in which we move about the world. By centering consent and pleasure, our programs invite folks to critically examine how they would like to relate to their bodies, loved ones, and communities at large. (bold emphasis is ours)
Here is the story of the project and it’s founder:
Papaya Project was founded by Naomi Price-Lazarus in 2022. Naomi has a background in Gender & Sexuality Studies and years of experience working in educational and non-profit spaces. Seeing the need for more inclusive sex education in the Seattle area, Naomi launched Papaya Project in order to provide comprehensive, inclusive, and pleasure-centered educational programming. Naomi is an AASECT Certified Sexuality Educator and trained facilitator of Our Whole Lives. Since 2022, Papaya Project has expanded to include youth programming (Relationship, Identity, and Sexuality Education), co-host monthly Sex Trivia events with Sex Therapist Breona Mendoza, and facilitate a variety of in-person and online workshops for both adults and youth.
As the political and social climate evolves, Papaya Project remains committed to meeting the growing needs of the community. Rooted in values of inclusivity and affirmation, the organization provides gender-affirming, LGBTQ+ inclusive, and pleasure-oriented sex education for individuals and communities locally and beyond.
If you REALLY want a good look at what this organization is about, click on the two links in that first paragraph. The first one is for the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT). If you follow any of their links, be in a room without children. We won’t even post the topics here.
The second link goes to the UNIVERSAL UNITARIAN Association, which is a “church” where they promote belief in anything and everything, which, in our book means they don’t believe in anything.* You may have one of their “churches” in your community. We do.
While we believe in citizen’s rights to religious freedom, we question any “religion” that really has no core religious beliefs except “anything goes.”
Here is what they promote teaching young people in their “OUR WHOLE LIVES” sex education programs:
Yes, they have guides, lessons and worksheets for teaching this. It is easy to see why the founder of the “Papaya Project” got her start there.
Those workshops are TAME compared to the Papaya Project:
There are various Papaya Project workshops:
Wow. Can’t wait for 12-year-olds to learn about porn, abortion, and how to make “vulva cupcakes.”
Girls hold up Playdoh “vulvas” as part of an activity of the project. Is this sexual grooming?
The following youth testimonials are posted on their web page:
Notice that both respondents never mention love but do mention needs/desires and “how our bodies feel pleasure.” Are they training our young people to value only sexual pleasure and not true relationships built on anything else? Are they grooming our young people in the belief from the sixties;”if it feels good, do it?” What will this belief lead them to?
They have an Instagram account where they share questions like this:
Or this:
And, they sell their own “game” regarding sex:
Come Again?! by Papaya Project — Papaya Project
It’s interesting to note that the game is a “trauma-informed” conversation card game. This is the definition of “trauma-informed”:
But wait, we thought the Papaya Project was founded on sexual pleasure, not trauma or victimhood. Are all the participants considered “trauma victims?” This seems contradictory, especially given the name of the game.

If these “workshops” were targeted strictly for adults, we wouldn’t see a problem. If the web page was limited to adults, no problem. However, they are all targeted to children aged 12-17. Minors.
The existence of these types of workshops brings another worry for parents. As it seems state governments are leaning toward the belief that children belong to the state, how long before these workshops and camps become mandatory or, at the very least, subjects in child custody fights?
Thankfully, rational minds prevailed in a recent bill in Colorado:
Colorado parents unload on liberal lawmakers, prompting changes to controversial gender bill
The bill would have allowed the state to remove children from parents who objected to the child’s desire to have “gender affirming” care or therapy. It has since been amended. However, the bill still allows for charges of hate crimes against those who “dead name” transgender people. It will probably be challenged in the courts.
So, the question is, where is this happening and are workshops like the Papaya Project being promoted by any school districts?
We couldn’t find any school district in the country connected with this project (thankfully!). The project is out of Seattle, Washington, which is not a surprise since Washington State is becoming one of the craziest states in the country when it comes to raising children.
The good news is that it seems the workshops are limited to that area, and you have to actively sign up to participate. HOWEVER, any minor on the internet could search for this information and find it, particularly on Instagram or Tik-Tok.
We also thought that sex camps and gender ideology camps didn’t really exist, and yet they do. Remember, we found a list of these camps online.
LGBTQ Camps for Youth, Adults, and Families — GenderSexuality.Info
Some of these are run by Planned Parenthood. And, if Planned Parenthood is not running camps, they are busy prescribing hormone therapy to minor children without parental consent or knowledge and without proper medical exams. This from LIVE ACTION:
This is a serious “be on the lookout” moment for parents.
NEXT UP? Digging into Discord and Roblox and their possible connection to child trafficking.
UPDATE ON SEX CAMPS FOR KIDS: While we were told the sex camp in Colorado had been canceled, we have also heard rumors that they are still signing kids up secretly. Still investigating.
