“…Flirting refers to using romantic signals and showing potential sexual interest (Punyanunt‐Carter and Wagner 2018). Flirting behaviors are characterized by ambiguity and deniability (Kozin 2016; Speer 2017). This allows one to save face when the feeling are unrequited and is marked by striving “not to define the situation, but rather to leave it open to possible, potential, futures” (Tavory 2009).…”

Digital technology has long provided new ways of initiating romantic relationships as people communicate through text messages, social media, and dating applications. Emojis have been widely adopted as a means of conveying nonverbal cues in digital communication. However, what role do platform‐provided social cues, such as emojis, play in fostering or impeding clear communication and shared romantic expectations from a flirtatious text message conversation? In this study, 713 college students were randomly assigned to read a Snapchat conversation with or without emojis and, they were subsequently asked to infer the characters' thoughts and feelings, clarity of the characters' intentions, and indicate their own discomfort with receiving a similar Snapchat message. The results showed that emojis increase the clarity of the main character's intentions. Moreover, the participants' cognitive efforts, the extent to which they were emotionally affected by the conversation, and the presence of emojis reduced comfort level with receiving a similar Snapchat message. These findings suggest that emojis provide clarity to romantic conversations, which can amplify the interpersonal discomfort of receiving text‐based sexual overtures.

“…Thus, flirting is often signaled through some sort of incongruous behavior that temporarily breaks through the intimacy barrier between two people. Flirtatious behavior is characterized by ambiguity and deniability so that it can be difficult to definitively identify an interaction as flirtation (Kozin, 2016;Speer, 2017). Flirting is risky for the initiator who must take a chance that s/he will receive the desired response in the hopes that their feelings of attraction are mutual.…”

“…The scant academic research on flirtation has conceptualized the act of flirting as an inperson interaction (Kozin, 2016;Speer 2017;Tavory 2009). Certainly, before the internet, flirting largely took place in person and included embodied signals, such as body language, touch, tone of voice, and facial expression.…”

Resumen Los debates contemporáneos sobre las investigaciones que se interesan por la búsqueda del placer sexual desde una perspectiva sociocultural en los últimos cinco años pueden ser organizados en dos grandes áreas: las investigaciones que parten de una postura fincada en la episteme de la modernidad y su entrada en crisis, frente a aquellas cuyas premisas asumen de entrada una vivencia de la sexualidad en un contexto de posmodernidad. Se reconocieron tres ejes temáticos: prácticas sexuales alternativas, sexualidad y género y estudios transversales. Se trata de una revisión analítica de la producción académica de un tema escasamente abordado en la investigación sociocultural. Partimos de la orientación epistemológica: ¿cuál es el sentido de la búsqueda del placer sexual en un contexto de emergencia de prácticas sexuales alternativas?
