    [1] It’s super commonly used for sexting, so if you’ve received an eggplant emoji, look out for other sexual emojis and phrases to help you decide if it's part of a dirty text. Because of the eggplant’s scorching associations, it was actually banned from major social media sites—but it’s still commonly used in private conversations.
    • If the eggplant is sent with sexual text or emojis, then it’s referring to a man’s penis: “You make me so hot 👅💦🍆🍆.”
    • If it’s sent along with info on gardening or salads, it probably refers to a literal eggplant: “My salad today is so delish. 🍆🥦🫑”

    Booty calls refer to a (usually casual) offer to hook up. If you see the 🍆 (eggplant) emoji and you really want to get intimate with this person, send them the emoji phrase that's code for “booty call:” 🍑📞.

    If you want the other person to know that you’re interested in having sex, send these two together. Of course, it goes without saying that this text is by no means a promise to hook up. Have fun, send sexy texts to turn the two of you on, but don't feel tied to anything you sext. Texting someone a sultry text does not mean you're agreeing to anything.
    • “Okay you’ve got my attention…👉👌🤯”
    • “Oof. That was hot…👉👌🎆”
    • “I’m so into you…👉👌💦💦”

    You definitely don't need to include emojis in your response to the eggplant emoji. Send a text that describes how the other person's message made you feel, what you want to do with them sexually, or physical signs of arousal happening in your body. If your aim is to keep the enticing convo going, finish with a question to prompt them to continue. [2]
    • "You're making me feel really turned on...if we were together, where would you touch me next?"
    • "I wish I could touch you right now...how is this conversation making you feel?"
    • "I'm sweating...what are you thinking about rn? Be specific..."

    this one doesn't just refer to sweat. These droplets also secretly describe sex-related wetness or an orgasm.

    this one isn't just referring to popping bottles. Nope, in a sext, the champagne bottle describes an orgasm.

    this one might be self-explanatory. It refers to a big, explosive orgasm.
