    In a sexual context, the eggplant 🍆 emoji is used to represent a penis. If this is the case, then the 💦(water droplets) represents liquid and 👅(tongue sticking out) means licking the penis. The 🐱(cat) could represent a vagina, and the dog 🐶 with its tongue out represents licking it. The fire 🔥 means "hot" (slang as in "attractive"). The dancing woman💃 could represent dancing during sex, or celebrating the moment. The thumbs up👍 means they're showing approval to it.
