Random, per my usual self, but I have to wonder if any of those cave writings from back in the day were Cavemen sexting secret lovers or something wild like that. I mean, (hu)man is (hu)man, and sex is sex, no matter the time period, right? Especially because I'm not narcissistic enough to think that signaling for sex through pictograms is anything new...like everything else it's just been slightly adapted to fit a new age.
Once Apple dropped emojis, they couldn't have imagined that adults around the world would take a completely innocent but odd (because who the hell actually was eating eggplant in 2008?) set of emojis and adapt them in order to minimize the wordiness of sexting and maximize efforts.
Nevertheless, we managed to create an entirely new language, generally and sexually speaking, all through the emoji keyboard. However, if you're like me and you actually do enjoy the act of sending off sexy texts, then you might look at your sex emojis games as an easy, fun way to enhance your sexting experience. Whether you're looking to minimize words and maximize time or maximize the impact of your sext, these are the 14 sex emojis you need to keep in your favorites.
1.Eggplant + Sweat Droplet Emoji

Most of us know the meaning behind the eggplant and the sweat droplets emoji combo. A classic "let me get your dick wet" indeed.
2.Whale Spouting Emoji

Because, you know, "pussy wet her and exhale"... or whatever Caresha said on "Pussy Talk".
3.Cat Emoji

Cat emojis can have different meanings in texts. Sexually, it means bring the wine and I'll bring this kitty.
4."See No Evil" Monkey Emoji

I'm not blushing, you are. I'm not giddy, boo you are! Nothing says excitement like the see no evil monkey emoji.
5.Surfer Girl Emoji
In the immortal words of Beyonce, we can't wait to ride the dick, straight like... surfboard, surfboard.
6.Shushing Face Emoji

A tap out for sure! The shushing dirty emoji means less "dirty" talk, more action. Come and see me now, I can't take anymore.
7.Drooling Face Emoji

The meaning behind the drooling face emoji is "what this mouth will do soon as I get the chance".
8.Devil Emoji

If "lady in the street, freak in the sheets" were an emoji, it would be the devil emoji.
9.Smirk Face Emoji
Shutterstock
You already know what time it is. Bring that ass.
10.Peach Emoji

Very similar to the cat emoji in context and not necessarily indicative of anal play, but using the peach emoji in dirty texts can be. Especially if they drop an index finger with the peach.
11."Oh" Face Emoji
"Finish her!" *Mortal Kombat video game narrator voice*
12.Banana Emoji
Shutterstock
I'm almost positive the banana emoji hasn't been around forever, which is why we had to improvise with the eggplant. Nevertheless, the banana emoji is eggplant 2.0. Perhaps, an indicator of a little curvage.
13.Rain + Umbrella Emoji
Shutterstock
More wet-wet, anyone? That's exactly what it means when the raining umbrella emoji enters the chat.
14. Gymnast Girl Emoji
The gymnast girl emoji is emoticon for "acrobat on the dick" energy. You know the vibes.

In a xoNecoleexclusive, the iconic actress opens up about embracing this season of her life, new projects, and overall being a “bad motherfucker.” Gabrielle reveals that she was 37 years old when she was diagnosed with perimenopause and is still going through it at 51 years old. Mayo Clinic says perimenopause “refers to the time during which your body makes the natural transition to menopause, marking the end of the reproductive years.”
“I haven't crossed over the next phase just yet, but I think part of it is when you hear any form of menopause, you automatically think of your mother or grandmother. It feels like an old-person thing, but for me, I was 37 and like not understanding what that really meant for me. And I don't think we focus so much on the word menopause without understanding that perimenopause is just the time before menopause,” she tells us.

"But you can experience a lot of the same things during that period that people talk about, that they experienced during menopause. So you could get a hot flash, you could get the weight gain, the hair loss, depression, anxiety, like all of it, mental health challenges, all of that can come, you know, at any stage of the menopausal journey and like for me, I've been in perimenopause like 13, 14 years. When you know, most doctors are like, ‘Oh, but it's usually about ten years, and I'm like, ‘Uhh, I’m still going (laughs).’”
Conversations about perimenopause, fibroids, and all the things that are associated with women’s bodies have often been considered taboo and thus not discussed publicly. However, times are changing, and thanks to the Gabrielle’s and the Tia Mowry’s, more women are having an authentic discourse about women’s health. These open discussions lead to the creation of more safe spaces and support for one another.
“I want to be in community with folks. I don't ever want to feel like I'm on an island about anything. So, if I can help create community where we are lacking, I want to be a part of that,” she says. “So, it's like there's no harm in talking about it. You know what I mean? Like, I was a bad motherfucker before perimenopause. I’m a bad motherfucker now, and I'll be a bad motherfucker after menopause. Know what I’m saying? None of that has to change. How I’m a bad motherfucker, I welcome that part of the change. I'm just getting better and stronger and more intelligent, more wise, more patient, more compassionate, more empathetic. All of that is very, very welcomed, and none of it should be scary.”
The Being Mary Jane star hasn’t been shy about her stance on therapy. If you don’t know, here’s a hint: she’s all for it, and she encourages others to try it as well. She likens therapy to dating by suggesting that you keep looking for the right therapist to match your needs. Two other essential keys to her growth are radical transparency and radical acceptance (though she admits she is still working on the latter).

“I hope that a.) you recognize that you're not alone. Seek out help and know that it's okay to be honest about what the hell is happening in your life. That's the only way that you know you can get help, and that's also the only other way that people know that you are in need if there's something going on,” she says, “because we have all these big, very wild, high expectations of people, but if they don't know what they're actually dealing with, they're always going to be failing, and you will always be disappointed. So how about just tell the truth, be transparent, and let people know where you are. So they can be of service, they can be compassionate.”
Gabrielle’s transparency is what makes her so relatable, and has so many people root for her. Whether through her TV and film projects, her memoirs, or her social media, the actress has a knack for making you feel like she’s your homegirl. Scrolling through her Instagram, you see the special moments with her family, exciting new business ventures, and jaw-dropping fashion moments. Throughout her life and career, we’ve seen her evolve in a multitude of ways. From producing films to starting a haircare line to marriage and motherhood, her journey is a story of courage and triumph. And right now, in this season, she’s asking, “What’s next?”
“This is a season of discovery and change. In a billion ways,” says the NAACP Image Award winner. “The notion of like, ‘Oh, so and so changed. They got brand new.’ I want you to be brand new. I want me to be brand new. I want us to be always constantly growing, evolving. Having more clarity, moving with different purpose, like, and all of that is for me very, very welcomed."
"I want you to be brand new. I want me to be brand new. I want us to be always constantly growing, evolving. Having more clarity, moving with different purpose, like, and all of that is for me very, very welcomed."
She continues, “So I'm just trying to figure out what's next. You know what I mean? I'm jumping into what's next. I'm excited going into what's next and new. I'm just sort of embracing all of what life has to offer.”
Look out for Gabrielle in the upcoming indie film Riff Raff, which is a crime comedy starring her and Jennifer Coolidge, and she will also produce The Idea of You, which stars Anne Hathaway.
