A Definitive List of the 29 Horniest Sex Emojis

There are many ways to use emojis…and many ways to not use emojis. In addition to showing your age with the millennial laughing-crying face, one of the most common emoji flubs someone (or someone's boomer relative) can make is dropping a seemingly innocuous emoji into the group chat unaware that it is actually a sexemoji. That's because—as anyone with a baseline level of emoji literacy knows—emojis often come to mean something different (sometimes very different) from what they literally represent. And a lot of the time, that hidden meaning is horny.

The eggplant and the peach were, of course, among the first wave of seemingly innocent emojis to take on a suggestive meaning way back when millennials ruled the cultural discourse. Since then, the horny emoji canon has only grown, with various emojis new and old working their way into sexier contexts.

Of course, like any language, emoji usage evolves—and that includes emoji sex slang. Some emojis that were once earnestly sexy are now only ironically so, some have become passé altogether, while others that may have initially seemed inherently horny never really caught on. Meanwhile, there may be existing emojis that possess hidden innuendo we've yet to tap into as a society. What I'm saying is, some emojis are born horny, some achieve horniness, and some have horniness thrust upon them.

The point is, it's important to stay up to date on which emojis are the sex emojis and in which contexts, both for your own good and the good of the group chat. So whether you're looking for the perfect subtly sexy emoji to sext your crush or trying to avoid accidentally Slacking a horny emoji to your coworker, here is your guide to the 29 sexiest emojis, what they mean, and how and when to use them.
