Meanings of elements
BUTTOCKS CRACK, THE DOORWAY, ONE'S FAMILY MEMBERS with EYES WIDE OPEN, GAZE AT, STARE AT UNINHIBITED, NOT CARING IF WATCHED, HOPING TO BE WATCHED and with AN ARRAY OF ITEMS, LATERAL RECIPROCATING ROD MOTION with EMISSIONS
…or: HIRE, EMPLOY, SHORT-TERM RENTAL, CLOACAL ORIFICE FOR EXCRETION AND COPULATION, CUTE LITTLE BIRD, QUAIL and with HEAD FACE DOWNWARD, COGITATE, FACING
「Head facing downward」at「buttocks crack in mating display」suggests that after completing copulation and beginning to walk away, LOOKING BACKWARD, TURNING HEAD AROUND AND BEGINNING TO THINK about going back and accessing the buttocks crack, too, ATTENDING TO WHAT REMAINS UNDONE.「Quail, head facing downward」is to lower one's head and face while turning around, LOOKING BACKWARD as if reflecting upon and considering a past event. One pronounced characteristic of quail is that the bird continually bobs its head as it walks, appearing as if pulling its head backwards as it looks around (an optical illusion, however), hence the association with looking back and reflecting on the past. Yet,「…the backward movement is based on illusion: in this phase the head position is kept stable with regard to the environment while the body moves continuously forward. In this way head movements during walking are characterized by a hold phase and a thrust phase」
[ https://www.reinhold-necker.de/seite10.html 2012-12-04 ] this motion allows the animal a moment to search for food with each step, looking around.
「Head facing downward, cogitating buttocks crack for mating display」is to EXAMINE ONESELF with INTROSPECTION ('look on the inside, asshole'),「cogitating and quailing.」

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.
