What do you actually call your genitals?

‘333 juicy papayas’ is an affirmative, highly unscientific and playful compendium of the names of our genitals. The papaya is trigendered and ambiguous. This fruit thus becomes the leading figure and symbol of a new sexual freedom of play and also serves as a teaching aid in gynecology.

The discourse for an equal use of language has already been initiated, at least in medicine. Nevertheless, even in LGBTQIA* circles, there are very few positive terms for the third gender.

Flore de Crombrugghe and Rasa Weber fight back against this speechlessness in an instructive, vivid and entertaining way: From monkey chin to tongue twister, the lovingly illustrated volume offers a selection of provocative, juicy, sensual and non-binary terms for our big and little fat things.

The authors:

Rasa Weber, born in Lower Saxony and raised in Vienna, is a designer, diver and author. For her research and teaching she works between Berlin and Zurich. Her work has twice been awarded the Bundespreis Ecode- sign and nominated for the German Design Award. ‘333 Juicy Papayas’ is her first book.

Flore de Crombrugghe, born and raised in Leuven (Belgium), is a designer and illustrator. As an interaction designer and UI/UX designer, she calls Zurich her home, but can regularly be found in Berlin, Brussels and Vancouver. ‘333 Juicy Papayas’ is her first book.
