Meanings of elements

FEMALE with SOMETHING THAT OUGHT TO BE STOPPED OR INFREQUENTLY PERFORMED, LITTLE BY LITTLE, HEAD SLIDING BELOW YOUNG SMALL MONS VENUS STREAM OF EMISSIONS

The old Chinese sages were sexists generally, so perhaps「few women」are EXCEPTIONAL (maybe few men, too). But it is also EXCEPTIONAL if only a few women are around, as the caverns seem to have become fairly crowded, fairly soon, given the high birth rate due to the preponderance of sex services provided with nothing much else to do after sufficient food was obtained (other than warring on the neighbors perhaps, but that may have also been the source of food…). Glyph may also indicate that having「a few women」around, as in more than merely one, makes for a more CHARMING setting (a bit more DELICATE as well, so that cat fights can be avoided). Perhaps「female for a short time」is SUPERB, but not for a much longer time.
Actually though, while outlawed in most jurisdictions now around the world but not when the glyphs were created, the message here is most likely related to a「female, young with small stream of emissions, mons venus and head sliding below」「female and a little head sliding」being SUPERB, CHARMING, DELICATE, EXTRAORDINARY, UNUSUAL, a really good find. Substitute glyph (玅)「palming emphasis on rod, loose and dripping with stream of emissions sliding down from head」or「control of smallest youth mons venus sliding head」as a「profound experience with a youth」suggests being SUBTLE, an EXQUISITE, EXTRAORDINARY experience: see 妖 and「female child」(好) as what is liked.
「In traditional Chinese medicine, there has never been a mental disease called pedophilia (or an equivalent term), or homosexuality, or most of the other so-called sexual variations for that matter. …Children are usually described as natural sexual beings and erotic stimulation and sex-play are seen as beneficial to their healthy development.」

「Viewing women as commodities [see 品] was also made customary from Song Dynasty (960 - 1279) forward, both in the suddenly expanded labor market and within relationships. Men could sell their female kin to slavery or prostitution, and frequently did.」

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.
