   The 🌽 emoji is a slang term for p*rnography. On TikTok, words like “p*rn” and “p*rnography” 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.^[1]

   • “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.

   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.^[2]

   Use the 🌽 emoji to discuss adult films and media on TikTok. Drop a 🌽 in the caption of your post to start a conversation with your fellow 🌽-y TikTok users. By using the 🌽 emoji, you can chat to your heart’s content without being flagged or banned by the platform. You could try making posts with captions like:

   • “🌽 Stereotypes”
   • “What they don’t actually tell you about 🌽📽”

   Surprise your partner with a spicy text. Tired of the same old 🍆 and 🍑 dominating your emoji vocabulary? Switch things by sending a 🌽 emoji instead. Don’t worry—your partner will still get the hint.

   Reply if you’re comfortable with the person who sent the emoji. 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. 2

   Ignore and block the message if it makes you feel uncomfortable. 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.
