Meanings of elements
VULVA, JUXTAPOSED ORIFICES with TREE, POLE, WOODY

…or: SCREWING in ORIFICE with EMISSIONS
「Rowdy, accused and blamed woody」: GOVERNING CONTROL, MANAGEMENT TACTICS, GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS were ordered BY LAW and enforced during endemic outbreaks of sexually transmitted diseases in the attempt to stem the tide. Infected people were forced to wear a codpiece and loincloth to prevent contagious dripping in public places, and undergo treatment by reaming with a bougie (or, 'boogie'), again and again until symptoms abated. Official records were maintained of the treatment results to enable tracing of an outbreak or resurgence, and shaman brute squads enforced the laws under government authority, going door to door when the need arose (see: 'magistrate, authority' 尹 and 津).
Scholars suggest this glyph means to tie a parcel onto a wooden pole for easier carrying of the cargo. Nevertheless, in fact plenty of cargo may actually be more difficult to handle while fastened to a pole and heavier, moreover, you may need two people to carry it, such as used with a palanquin. Any pack animal or vehicle will be put to far better use by not tying cargo to a pole…however, valuable cargo that could actually run away and escape using as yet two healthy, unbound feet are a different story and need to be RESTRAINED: the HANDLING, CONTROL would be better MANAGED if all were TIED BY ROPES and BOUND, BALED together in BUNCHES, or BUNDLED TOGETHER into CLUSTERS and all fastened to a single pole while walking, or to a standing tree to prevent escape while further business negotiations continued elsewhere. A further Chinese meaning as BEAMS OF LIGHT actually means a cluster of FLASHES, that old euphemism for the lord's soon-to-be concubines. See the related glyphs that generally depict gathering flowers for deflowering in harems,「by order of the lord」(整) and issuance of an 'edict for the forced collection of an array of no-longer-integrated feet' by the 'gathering of fleshpots, honored prized divas' (貴).
Needless to mention is that many of these same candidates already had BOUND no-longer-integrated feet since the HANDLING, CONTROL was better MANAGED when purchased girls were RESTRAINED, intended from a very young age as「vulva that is woody-bound, bound for woody」of the lord in his harem, and so on. In those cases, binding to a pole or tree may have been rendered unnecessary other than management and control of logistical transport of the cargo in palanquins during the collection process:
Foot BINDING was:
「…[T]he custom of applying painfully tight binding to the feet of young girls to prevent further growth. …Bound feet were a mark of beauty that became a prerequisite for finding a husband, as well as an avenue for poorer women to marry into money. Women, their families, and [a husband] took great pride in tiny feet, with the ideal length, called the 'Golden Lotus,' being about 7 cm (2.75 inches) long. …Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's bound feet.」

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)

Japanese EDRDG: bundle, sheaf, ream, tie in bundles, govern, manage, control
Unihan extended: bind, control, restrain; bale

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.
