The eggplant, the peach and the open tongue emoji are handy when sexting, but the adult website Pornhub has taken it next level. 

On Wednesday the pornography giant announced a free service that allows users to send an emoji and receive porn.

Users text the number designated for their country (available in the U.S., Canada and the UK) with a corresponding emoji based on the genre of porn they want.

The options are explained on the website. For example, send a Mac computer emoji for "webcam" porn, the double swords for "gay," and the women's restroom sign for "women's" videos.

“Users can now text an emoji to our specially designated number and receive a popular Pornhub video from a specific category. This enhances our arsenal of digital capabilities, streamlining our content recommendations, delivering them directly to our user’s mobile devices. Think of it as our way of spreading the love, digitally,” says Corey Price, vice president of the company, in a press release.

While the picture representations are intended to be tongue-in-cheek, some of the ones regarding race are a bit insensitive. Some arguably reinforce the criticism of pornography being racist. (The "Latina" category is a taco. C'mon.) 

As of now, only 30 of the options are listed. Users are encouraged to text other emoji to see what kind of videos they get. 

Pornhub is updating for a new generation of self-pleasures in more than one way. In March, the site announced its own virtual reality line of adult videos.
