Within a populated area many thousands of years ago, and today too,「grounds for vaginas」referred to the red-lined prostitution districts that sprang up around and surrounding the ENVIRONS of a lord's castle (later, becoming cities) conveniently located near the wealth and most-desired clients with money.
「Ground, soil」with「difficult to access, crossing the border of no return, no going back again during the current session」the「doorway to the neighboring spot」and so on refer more simply to a one-on-one situation involving both sides and entering the「soil section.」References to THE WILDERNESS literally as WILD AND CRAZY TIMES AND PLACES, the natural condition as described by the definition of the English word rather than to anywhere uninhabited, per se:
「1. An unsettled, uncultivated region left in its natural condition, especially: A) a large wild tract of land covered with dense vegetation or forests [many 木 woodies]; B) an extensive area, such as a desert or ocean, that is barren or empty; a waste [vast wasteland of fluid flows]; C) a piece of land set aside to grow wild [literally walled-off and segregated from the rest of the city, with its own rules and regulations]. 2. Something characterized by bewildering vastness, perilousness, or unchecked profusion: the wilderness of the city, the wilderness of counterespionage, a wilderness of voices」

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.
