A slice of something (such as deli-sliced meat or a timeslice). Torment, TORTURE (see related glyphs) as「swine slicing」that referred to slices of a torture technique used to remove the flesh and bone in paper-thin deli slices of a live person, lining up the slices in their proper sequence to reassemble the person's organ or limb on the table in a long row in front of their eyes, a commonly practiced, ancient Chinese torture technique. A LITTLE AT A TIME from those delicate and sensitive regions of the human anatomy as a torture or punishment, sometimes over 1,000 thin slices have been braggadociously recorded while the victim was still alive.
「Male pig」with「reaming rod streaming」would likely cause MANGLING, SHREDDING of the object being selfishly reamed at the time. High excitement, SLASHING to get at what is inside, like a boar or sow rooting truffles, or, servicing into a rectum.
Bougie「reaming of an infected rancid male」schwantz needs no explanation.
「According to apocryphal lore, língchí began when the torturer, wielding an extremely sharp knife, began by putting out the eyes, rendering the condemned incapable of seeing the remainder of the torture and, presumably, adding considerably to the psychological terror of the procedure. Successive rather minor cuts chopped off ears, nose, tongue, fingers, toes and genitals before proceeding to grosser cuts that removed large portions of flesh from more sizable parts, e.g., thighs and shoulders. The entire process was said to last three days, and to total 3,600 cuts. The heavily carved bodies of the deceased were then put on a parade for a show in the public. Some victims were reportedly given doses of opium, but accounts differ as to whether the drug was said to amplify or alleviate suffering.」

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.
