  1. On TikTok, words like “porn” and “pornography” are blacklisted, and no type of adult content is allowed on the platform. To get around these rules, users often caption their posts with the 🌽 emoji when discussing adult content. [2]
    • “What type of 🌽 is your favorite?”
    • “When your fave’s new 🌽📽 drops”
    • The 🌽 emoji might be used to represent adult content on other social media platforms, but it’s most well-known for its TikTok popularity.
  2. The 🌽 emoji can also represent male genitalia . The 🍆 emoji is definitely the most popular representation of a certain male body part, but it’s not the only one. The 🌽 emoji’s distinct shape also works well for sexting purposes—so, if your text conversation starts heading in a spicier direction, you can read between the lines when the 🌽 emoji pops up. [3]

  1. Nowadays, emojis like the 🌽 and 🍆 rarely refer to their respective foods and almost always carry some sort of sexual tone. (Seriously, when’s the last time you saw 🍆 refer to an eggplant parmigiana?) If you get a 🌽-y message from your partner, feel free to send back a spicy message in return.
    • “👀👀👀”
    • “Excited for tonight 😏”
  2. You aren’t obligated to acknowledge or reply to any unwanted advances, including ones made with emojis. Leave any unsolicited 🌽 emojis on read, and feel free to block the number so they can’t contact you anymore.
