「Many head slidings of taut erection with prepubescent female」as depicted in erotic Chinese art, refers to men in dynastic China masturbating by wrapping no-longer-integrated feet around an erect penis ostensibly to lower the risk of contracting a sexually transmissible disease or infection that often occurred when performing coitus within some sort of mucous membrane system of a female service provider, and, to gain hand-control over the pressure applied to the foot meat surrounding a weakened penis that functioned as a living cockring.
「Bound feet were a mark of beauty that became a prerequisite for finding a husband, as well as an avenue for poorer women to marry into money. Women, their families, and their husbands took great pride in tiny feet, with the ideal length, called the 'Golden Lotus,' being about 7 cm (2.75 inches) long. …The process was started before the arch of the foot had a chance to develop fully, usually between the ages of 2 and 5.」

FOOT MOTIONS, or MOVING FEET that may not entail literal locomotion (from Latin「place of motion」with limbs, flagella, or other bodily appendages) or perambulation, although arriving at a climactic goal was keenly involved. These feet were unbound and placed into service as a surrogate orifice (足), at which time the elements become「many strokes and head sliding with erotic feet」:「Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's bound feet」(after removing the binding cloths, of course)

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment
(see 籒 for that),
representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created.
If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system!
Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles?
Yes! It is, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today.
Sex had no shame in ancient China.
Why would it?
But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?
No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else.
This site describes glyph meanings, not people.
These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect.
The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language?
(More...)
Despite how seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better?
Or could they have been worse?
By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs,
you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any lexicon.
This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
