Eggplant

The eggplant emoji is also called the aubergine emoji in the UK and Japan. While it can literally refer to the food item, it’s most often used online to represent a penis.

‍

The eggplant emoji is frequently combined with other emoji. When paired with the mouth emoji, it means oral sex. When sexting, the eggplant emoji is usually paired with other emojis (like the peach 🍑, mouth 👄 and sweat droplets 💦 emoji) to symbolize various sexual acts, positions and more.

Use as a Food Item

Often when using the eggplant to describe the food item it is paired with other food items or veggies:

My salad today is so delish! 🍆🥦🫑

‍

Use in Sexting (most common)

Sexting often uses multiple emojis to depict different sexual acts or positions:

“You make me so hot 👅💦🍆🍆.”

As with any part of raising a child or teenager, rules and boundaries are an important part of helping your child gain independence, make sound decisions and stay safe.

‍

To keep them safe, you and your teenager could agree on some rules. For example:

• Tell you if they receive an unwanted sext.
• Don’t engage in sexting until they turn 18.
• Don’t send sexts to anyone they’ve met online, who they haven’t met in person.

At the end of the day, you can’t control what your child does 100% of the time, but you can give them the tools to make a call that’s right for them.
