[Elements vary by font] use of「hide」strips, LEATHER THONGS, to BIND or TIE SECURELY, such as used when securing a falcon to a falconer's arm, or in bondage scenes, such as SECURING a person to a fleshpot or cauldron or scaffold or a swinging harness (still useful today, by the way)…leather thongs have the tendency to remain SOLIDLY and SECURELY BOUND, TIED so as not to allow slippage even when wet or coated with lubrication oil, or various bodily fluids, and won't cut the skin of the person bound as might rope (see upper element). Leather thongs were also used for these same reasons in order to suspend a carcass in the air while skinning its hide, with one bound to each hind leg, and to secure a torture victim during a figging.

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.
