Meanings of elements

PERSON, TAUT ERECTION inside CAVITY WITH TWO SETS OF LIPS
…or: CAVITY WITH TWO SETS OF LIPS and SPREAD WIDE WITH TWO HANDS
…or: PERSON and BOUGIE REAMING from BOTH SIDES

Upper element appears two different ways, varying by font:「cavity having two sets of lips, with male person (erect and taut) inside」meaning only A SHORT WHILE, BRIEF GLIMPSE, MOMENTARY and URGING. A human male person inside a cavity with two sets of lips will, on the average, be inside only for a BRIEF DURATION until climax, two to three minutes or so. Some species ejaculate in mere moments under these same circumstances since during copulation the individuals are at great risk from any nearby predator…or:「person between reaming bougies on both sides」as others URGING the sufferer to obtain medical treatment since only a SHORT TIME remains before irreparable damage occurs…note that the bougie reamers are not in or on the「person」as in other glyphs when the「bougie reamer」element appears on a「stream of fluid」or「woody shaft」or with「screwing, twisting, rotating」and so on.「Grasping both sides, left and right hands on taut erection」should also be intuitively obvious to mean URGE, A SHORT DURATION WHILE IT LASTS.

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.
