This study reported 40% of sexually-active teenaged females now have a current infection—not 'will ever have at one time or another in life,' and that was in 2008 within the most technically advanced country the world has ever known, with prevention education, pharmaceuticals, advanced treatment, and so on…2 of every 5 teenaged females had a current infection at the time. Can you imagine what it was like 6,000 years ago? it's a wonder humans survived at all…perhaps humanity's survival was only attributable to the very young who were 'still clean 靑' becoming mothers?
「If you consider risky sexual behavior a nonissue, remember this: Over one million people around the world acquire a sexually transmitted disease (STD) every day.…'We often hear the words herpes, gonorrhea, and chlamydia in a comedic context, but anyone who has an STD knows it's no laughing matter,' Superdrug explained. 'It's something you may have to live with for the rest of your life. It's scary. It's embarrassing. It's often confusing. But if you're one of those people, you're not alone. Not even close.' 」

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Unihan extended: gather; flow into (water); sound of waters flowing together

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.
