Original glyph included「reaming」with these elements (劃). Since virtually all the population in the old days was illiterate, it did no good to publish written laws. But DRAWING A PICTURE of the problem to GRAPHICALLY ILLUSTRATE the issue, and including MAPS with notations of places off limits by law, posting copies (描) outside (裱) in many places that could be SEEN PUBLICLY DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS could be understood by anyone without much excuse:「the consequences, firm grip with bougie reaming blocked orifice array, again and again.」Additional depictions of the symptoms with「blocked orifices」or「reaming pig noses and pricks」may have aided comprehension as well. Red-lining on a map to indicate areas and lines as DO NOT ENTER.
DRAWING A DIAGRAM of graphic DESCRIPTIONS of various sexual activity and the ensuing problems of infection, since no one could read yet, the government authorities needed to literally DRAW A PICTURE of places on a MAP in demarcation zones that were off-limits, the activities that caused the transfer of infection, and how to identify the symptoms of disease. Relates to the English expression,「I get the picture.」Notices were posted publicly that announced severing access to off-limit areas by posting armed patrols at the red-lined borders, planned on a map of infected areas. Government attempts to control the spread of infectious disease, mostly contracted at the brothels. Troublesome and unpopular, but worth the effort for slowing down the spread of contagion.
Some suggest this is somehow a diagram for reaping farm fields, but at the time of the early cave artists, nobody was farming any fields, or any terraced slopes either for that matter…

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.
