Element is used to represent MANY REAMINGS. Scarring from sexually transmitted diseases can cause both a shortened penis and a bent, curled penis, especially when attempting to become erect. Gonorrhea and other such diseases cause scar tissue to form within the urethra:「Peyronie's Disease,…also known as 'Induratio penis plastica,' or more recently 'Chronic Inflammation of the Tunica Albuginea (CITA),' is a connective tissue disorder involving the growth of fibrous plaques in the soft tissue of the penis affecting up to 10% of men. Specifically, scar tissue forms in the tunica albuginea, the thick sheath of tissue surrounding the corpora cavernosa causing pain, abnormal curvature, erectile dysfunction, indentation, loss of girth and shortening. …The disease may cause pain. Hardened, big, cord-like lesions (scar tissue known as 'plaques'). Or abnormal curvature of the penis when erect due to chronic inflammation of the tunica albuginea (CITA). Although the popular conception of Peyronie's Disease is that it always involves curvature of the penis, the scar tissue sometimes causes divots or indentations rather than curvature. The condition may also make sexual intercourse painful and/or difficult…」

A「bougie」is a long, thin blade that is inserted into the urethra via the penile meatus that is used to thinly shave slices of scarred meat from within the passageway in order to remove scar tissue blockage formed due to gonorrhea and thereby restore the flow of fluids, be they urine, semen, gleet, blood, or all of the above.
[ https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/jun/30/sexually-transmitted-infections-europe-world-drug-resistant-bacteria-amr 2026-06-30 ]：「...particularly worrying because Neisseria gonorrhoeae has developed resistance to the antibiotics used to treat it, with only one last remaining recommended antibiotic, ceftriaxone, available. With a growing number of cases that are resistant even to this, gonorrhoea is in danger of becoming one of the first diseases to be no longer treatable.」
External source definitions
...none located, and you ought to ask yourself, why not?
Definition speculated from combining the elements and from usage in other glyphs.
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.
