The (NSFW) Flirtmojis Have Arrived

Take note, world, because your sexting game is about to level way, way up. And it's all thanks to the new (NSFW) "flirtmoji" that include everything from anatomically accurate genitalia to suggestive fruit to, naturally, furiously copulating bunnies. Plus, they have extra, more specific collections ranging from "Teenage Dream" to "Party Time" to "BDSM." Because, as they point out, "you can still text while wearing a ball gag." So why not?

"I wanted the Flirtmoji to be sexy," artist Katy McCarthy told The Verge in an interview. "Even if it’s not my thing, necessarily ... it’s someone else's thing and it’s sexy to them." She also made a point to make the emojis as diverse as possible. "My friends and I are not accurately represented in emoji," she said, "and it’s frustrating. And particularly with sex, we felt that it was so crucial that everyone feel sexually represented."

And the results are already pretty great — not mention anatomically accurate and very sex-positive. (Though apparently trying to figure out how to include hair on what are already tiny images was quite the headache.)

Flirtmoji offers a selection of free emojis, along with six themed collections for $0.99 each. And from the look of things they're probably a big help when it comes to being suggestive — or to just asking directly for what you want via text message, without needing to get too wordy. And in a world where more and more of our communication is electronic, it's nice to have some straight-forward, explicit yet classy ways to talk about sex. Since, obviously, sex is one of the things where clear communication is of utmost important.

Plus, some of them are pretty funny.

While others are straight-forwardly graphic.

Then you have your more subtly suggestive emoji.

Plus red, yellow, and green stop lights to let your texting partner know if you're still comfortable with the conversation.

But my favorite might be the emoji for booty call. Because look at it.

And then, naturally, furiously copulating rabbits.
