Sex Trivia
Beer + talking about sex, what could be more fun!?
Sex Trivia is our most popular event, attended by over 150 people in Seattle monthly. Come on your own or with a team (4-5 people) to play this educational and sex-positive trivia! Questions cover a range of queer, kinky, scientific, historical, and silly topics!
Create your own Sex Zine
Do you have a sexuality-related topic that you’d like to explore? Want to doodle, draw, write, and play?
This workshop offers a creative space to process and celebrate sex and sexuality. We will teach you how to make a zine, provide materials, and collectively create projects that help destigmatize bodies and sexualities!
What turns you on? And how do you know?
Diving into the complexities of arousal and desire, this workshop explores the psychological, environmental, and social emotional factors that lead to feeling turned on, or turned off. The workshop includes both in-depth scientific research and opportunities for personal reflection and group discussion.
Ode to my Body: A Storytelling Workshop
How often do we get an opportunity to reflect on our experiences in a real and meaningful way? What is your sexual story?
In this workshop, participants have the opportunity to reflect upon their relationships to their bodies and sexualities, receive some collective sex education, and start writing their own stories in a supportive environment.
Pleasure is Revolutionary: A Workshop on Anticapitalist Pleasure
Do you ever feel like pleasure is something you have to earn? Does it feel hard to find time or energy to connect to your body?
This interactive workshop explores the ways that capitalism impacts pleasure, both within ourselves and in relationship with others, and what it could look like to start the individual and collective work of imagining a world of anti-capitalist pleasure practices.
Sexuality Professionals Meet-Ups
Are you a Sex Educator, Counselor, Therapist, or other sexuality-related professional based in Seattle? Do you want to connect with other people in your field, brainstorm future collaborations, or just have a space to collectively decompress?
Papaya Project hosts monthly meet-ups that are inclusive and free at join.
