Meanings of elements
PREPUBESCENT YOUNG GIRL with NAMELESS STRANGER, ANYBODY and CROTCH, YIELDING
…or: INTERCOURSE of OWLS
…or: INTERCOURSE with SEXUAL PREDATOR
「Intercourse with sexual predator」or「nameless somebody with crotch」clearly describes NEEDED CARE OR PREPARATION IN ADVANCE TO PREVENT A SERIOUS PROBLEM by educating and warning about the methods and intents lurking in the hearts of human beings (), especially when able to remain anonymous. Note that the glyph can be used to describe anyone who may be in need of preparatory care, such as an aged person with dementia or anyone mentally or physically infirmed and unable to defend or protect himself or herself.
 「Intercourse」when used with some animal reference (other than to sheep, naturally) often refers to the special characteristics of that specific animal during its breeding season, or some special copulatory practice. In this glyph,「owls during breeding season」is an appropriate rendering: owls are notoriously aggressive while PROTECTING their young, a fact that is particularly evident during the breeding season, by attacking any other owls, or any animal that might be encroaching into the owl's territory, continuing the attack relentlessly until the perceived aggressor flees, or dies. Note that「owl talk」also applies, since owls communicate with one another, particularly the mate and any nesting chicks (during the breeding season), with a wide variety of sounds and calls for PROTECTION and a coordinated DEFENSE.
 「Intercourse with sexual predator」may at first glance depict the manner in which a parent or other guardian PROTECTS and DEFENDS the young against sexual predators as something similar to an owl guarding its young. But also possible is how a sexual predator jealously guards prey from other predators (it is likely that there were many others, in the caverns, on city streets, and elsewhere), something similar to an owl guarding its territory…note how today captives are imprisoned in basements and darkened rooms for years without discovery.

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.
