One's initial experiences with sex, other than when alone, are often accompanied by some shuddering. Humans of both sexes experiencing sex with another human for the first few times often tremble uncontrollably, and not from cold:
「While this phenomenon is colloquially known as 'piss shiver,' it is technically called post-micturition convulsion syndrome, and scientists are not exactly sure why it occurs. One theory is that urination results in heat loss after the warm urine has been expelled from the body, or through exposing the penis to the air, causing the body to shiver. Meanwhile, another theory suggests that the micturition (i.e., urination) reflex is relayed through the autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for both contracting the urethra to hold in the urine and relaxing it to allow the urine to flow out. It is thought by some that, in order to govern urine retention, the autonomic nervous system produces certain chemicals and that, when the urine is released, the production of these chemicals reduces, and that it is this sudden change in the levels of these chemicals that causes the shivering. Also, as urine is released there is often a change in blood pressure, which might also explain the shivering. Post-micturition convulsions are generally more acute when a person has a particularly full bladder. They are also more common in men than women, and some find the experience pleasurable or even mildly erotic.」

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment
(see 籒 for that)
and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language.
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!
Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up.
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 bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only 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 dictionary.
This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
