What a client received as a GIFT after visiting a「shrine prostitute」(呩): a recollection of a「morally abhorrent array of spurting」both during the visit and again five or so days later when the infection was indicated.
「Display, altar, religious」with「plenty, abundance, double tally of concubines」to depict a GIFT, OFFERING to a religious person, or, a gift to a lord from a religious person such as a shaman. In many human societies, it is/was POLITE PROTOCOL to offer one's harem to a visiting dignitary. Replaced in the modern glyph with the left element of「altar, religious」and the right element of「kneeling person, hidden, mysterious, barbed venomous scorpion's tail, penis」all traits not too uncommon for religion and religious god-hucksters such as shamans. Together depicting ingrained religious RITES and RITUALISTIC behavior, that is, POLITE behavior performed automatically. MANNERS AND POLITENESS by formally offering a bevy of one's own concubines to someone you wish to impress, FOLLOWING PROTOCOL and PROPER ETIQUETTE. Note that the left element style varies depending upon the font used for display.

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.
