Porn stars share their favorite emoji with us

Early humans had cave paintings, 1960s homes had rotary phones, cool ’90s kids had pagers, and now millennials have emoji. The smartphone set have turned the adorable ideograms into everything from complex collages into masterful wood carvings and so much more. But what really matters is how porn stars at the AVNs use them.

Sure, you might know what Taylor Swift's most-used characters are and what emoji Drake has tatted on his right forearm, but what about James Deen and Bonnie Rotten? We hit the floor of Las Vegas's Adult Entertainment Expo to ask the hard-hitting questions and discern exactly what those prayer hands mean.

Given that it's an industry built on sex and romance, flirty emoji were at the top of the list.

James Deen:
