The ESTROUS CYCLE of many farm animals is an average of 20 days, or one ten-day period to ovulation and another ten-day period to the start of the next cycle. Counting and tracking these ten-day periods for each animal was important to farmers and herders in order to increase the chances of conception, and personally to fully enjoy the fruits of animal husbandry. In China, each month was comprised of three such 10-day periods, generally (the so-called Chinese ten-day「week」).
An「erection」with「gasping, tense」(and in Chinese,「no-longer-integrated foot」) as WRAPPED ALL THE WAY AROUND, the PERIPHERY and GIRTH, with either「night soil, feces」or「two-handed, twice on rod」(Japanese fonts. No no-longer-integrated feet) or「penis」(Chinese. Varies by font) completely inside with「orifice」as「getting lucky」: FULL CYCLE, the ENTIRE CIRCUIT, hitting every base including the 'night soil orifice.' Another strong possibility for these elements, and conception during estrus, is simply「penis」(士) inserted fully into「vagina」(冋) with the vagina's「spread legs」element merging with「erect」as a variant, and this combination also supports the meaning of GIRTH, and human LAPS of both sexes too for that matter, although a full circle LAP is the common understanding by traversing all the way around something and returning to one's starting point. A Chinese service provider's LAP was perhaps from one no-longer-integrated foot to the knee, into the groin orifices, and then continuing on to the other knee and no-longer-integrated foot, arriving at the starting point. Once again early bonobo-humans performing the entire circuit of getting lucky within spread legs, an erection gasping with no-longer-integrated feet, orifices, and fecal matter, known as a HOME RUN, or RUNNING THE DIAMOND with both legs bent at the knees while holding both no-longer-integrated feet on one's batting wood.

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.
