Use These Dirty Emojis In Your Next Sexy Text

Here's a tip for people who are just dipping their toes into the waters of sexting: Lean on the emoji. They're the modern-day equivalent of "a picture says a thousand words." Just like a smiley face can take a "can we talk?" text from serious to affectionate, the right dirty emoji can elevate "what are you doing tonight?" from conversational to "come-hither."
