One of the most conservative counties in Michigan is sponsoring a raunchy “Sex Education Week” at a state university. Ottawa County – which voted overwhelmingly for President Donald Trump in the 2020 election – is a “partner” in Grand Valley State University’s week-long event that is ongoing.

The week kicked off Monday with a “Peaches and Cream” event hosted at a facility named for the prestigious DeVos family, a well-known community benefactor and staple in Republican politics and socially conservative causes. Betsy DeVos served as Trump’s education secretary.

The Peaches and Cream Socials are billed as events to “get some vanilla ice cream, peach rings, and swag!”

But the Urban Dictionary definition of the event name is much bawdier. One is, “sex and crack. having sex with a fine woman (Georgia Peach) and indulging in crack cocaine; also known as ice cream.” Another is, “When you put a Peach gummy ring over your penis and let your mate suck until you splooge. Making a delicious peaches n cream snack.”

An event later that night, titled, “What Is Sex?” taught students about “polyamory,” that is, multiple sexual relationships, and covered the various forms:

Students also learned about Bondage & Discipline, Domination & Submission, and Sadism & Masochism, or BDSM:

The presenter also discussed fetishes and kinks, and singled out a “crush fetish,” which involves “being stomped”:

A portion of the presentation covered what transgenders call their genitals:

During “Talk Sex(y) To Me Tuesday,” students learned “What We Wish Sex Ed Taught Us,” and will cover, “lube, virginity, pleasure, communication, and more!,” according to the event’s website.

On Wednesday, the university is hosting a “Sex Ed Resource Fair.” Ottawa County is providing free condoms and other “goodies,” while a sex toy shop, called Naughty & Nice, will “have demo products, coupons and giveaways.” That night, there will be a “Kinky Karaoke & Cupcakes,” which is billed as, “a night of fun with sex-related songs and condom cupcakes.”

Naughty & Nice returns Thursday to offer a sex toy demonstration during “Add It To The Mix.”

“Join us for an event where we learn about sex toys, strap-ons, and how assistive devices are fun and may be necessary for various populations,” the event listing says, and it will emphasize the sexual needs of those who are disabled.

That evening will highlight “LGBTQ+ Health,” where students will “learn openly about gender, sexuality, affirming language, barrier methods, how to prepare for a sexual health clinic visit, and more.”

On “Frisky Friday,” students will challenge a sex educator to trivia.

Resources provided by organizers of the week refer not to men and women, but “Vulva Owners” and “Penis Owners.”

“Use the terms ‘people with penises’ or ‘vulva-owners’ instead of saying men and women, since not all people who have a penis or vagina will identify as a man or woman,” it says, further instructing students to, “Introduce yourself with your pronouns and ask other people for theirs.” Event listings identify all speakers with their preferred pronouns.

It is not clear when Ottawa County decided to support the event. The health department director serves at the pleasure of the county board of commissioners, which saw massive change in the 2022 election when a slate of constitutional conservatives, endorsed by Ottawa Impact, took control. One of that group’s key focuses has been eliminating sexually inappropriate classroom lessons.

Grand Valley State University joins a growing trend of colleges hosting explicit events in the name of education.

Last year, Fox News reported universities from Maryland, Ohio, Louisiana, Texas, and California hosted similar events.
