「Morally abhorrent, warped bent curved, become habituated to or with」that formerly was depicted as「two cavities with a prick in each」(豐) and referred to concubines, the「singing」girls and service providers. Defined set of REGULATIONS, LAWS, RULES, CODES regarding behavior within the sex trade, brothels, caves of wonder, shrines and temples of love, all to achieve「community cooperation within spread legs.」Raising quick cash in a forced sale of one's daughter into prostitution or as a concubine of the fief lord.
　「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.」

　Nevertheless, sources say that the original glyph depicts a set of bound bamboo slats containing registers written on bamboo strips「bent, curved」proscribing「moral aberrations」that were woven with jute into long scroll-like rolls「on a firm base」(physically and morally speaking) and unrolled for reading. Needless to point out that attempts to legislate the morality of a group of individuals within society has never succeeded…pretending to obey the rules leads to the meanings of CEREMONY, RITUAL as practices that pretend to be doing something for a short time period while gathered with other humans and according to some strict set of rules, only to be abandoned as soon as the ceremony ends, or when the other people who were watching are no longer around. Back when humanity had no societal laws, everyone (male and female alike) was some sort of cannibal, pedophile, fellatrix, slave trader, murderer, thief, anal rapist, ewe schtupper, drug user, and so on and so forth…laws have surely done a lot of good establishing a moral code of human conduct, since we simply never hear about any of these problems occurring any longer centuries later…or do we?
