Now that we have a whole host of new emoji to use for our sexting purposes, is it possible that something — some other food — might finally unseat the eggplant emoji as the ideal dong hieroglyph? “Sex Lives” isn’t sure, but hosts Allison P.

A new episode of “Sex Lives” can be found each Wednesday on iTunes or SoundCloud.
