Furthermore,「horizontal motion, with emphasis on circling many times」「arrayed with two rods, one on each side of an enclosed circle」to an observer of the traditional method of making Chinese NOODLES from dough would have no doubt about how that process is contained in these elements: noodle dough was first rolled into a length and formed into a circle, looped over and around the cook's two erect hands, and stretched horizontally by making circular motions with the center of the dough, exactly as a long jump rope is twirled between two children at play. As the dough lengthened it was double over and looped around the cook's hands again, shifting the positions of the hands while DRUMMING the rotating mass in flour against a FLAT SURFACE (the cook's workbench) to prevent sticking, repeating the circular motions and doubling the lengthened dough again and again until hundreds of long, thin lines of raw dough stretched between the two hands of the cook held erect like rods spread wide horizontally became NOODLES. Significantly, this action served to greatly increase the SURFACE AREA of the dough, from a roundish mass at first (the least possible surface area) into hundreds of long thin strings (糸).
「Rod with returning eyes」as what is seen by others, the SURFACE.
「Arrayed enclosure around eyes」「arrayed with emphasis on orifice(s) over eyes」meaning a MASK, with masks being the most useful when two holes are included enabling the wearer to see beyond the backside of the mask. A MASK is what someone sees of something when viewing its EXTERNAL APPEARANCE, the「arrayed enclosure of self.」Old variant was「arrayed many times, cycle, revolving」(靣, 回), as might be a MASK, what you want others to see and believe about you. A mask「masks」(verb form here) of course, by covering over what in this glyph describes literally as「one eyed orifice」that could also refer to a winking vulva in heat: a「red eye」or a DRUMMING SURFACE, a surface to bang against:「vulvar winking: uncontrolled movement of the vulva in a mare on heat. Usually accompanied by protrusion of the clitoris.」 [ https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/vulvar+winking ]
「Rod with eye on cockring, rod with the orifice of itself」will not always ejaculate in great spurts, but instead will dribble out semen while the shaft remains constricted, resembling LONG RAW NOODLES.
And finally, elements could simply be describing autofellation, or regrettably if that is unsuccessful, then eating directly what oneself spurts resembling LONG RAW NOODLES:「emphasis on returning to one's own rod with goal in mouth orifice.」In Chinese, formerly included「prick elongated with spread feet, head in crotch, heels over head」and「held wedged on both sides」elements (麵,麺) that indicate some sort of assistance obtained with FLAT SURFACES such as the two sides of a bathing tub, or while lying on the floor with someone pressing down overhead to compress one's bent torso beyond what mere muscles can do alone, enabling one's FACE and mouth to approach ever so enticingly closer to the goal in hand.

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.
