FINGERS (that in Asia include the thumb) are the「skillful」parts of「using hands」and the「reason for a hand to be, the fundamental purpose.」Nevertheless,「hand use」with「sitting person (匕 so popular in dynastic China) having tonguing mouth」or,「hand use to speak」with「service provider, concubine」describes a hand gesture, using one's hand for speaking non-verbally, to INDICATE, POINT OUT, POINT TO WITH ONE'S FINGER to which one was to be hired for short-term use by the client or visit the lord. Making a selection by IDENTIFYING one's choice. Note that in Japan, it is considered quite rude to point a finger at anyone today for any reason at all, perhaps because of this behavior in the past.
Needless to point out perhaps is that humans often「taste with hands」by inserting, dipping in a FINGER or two and then applying that to one's tongue in mouth.
「Skillful, clever hand use」is, naturally: FINGERING, TO FINGER, otherwise interpreted as「providing services with talented hands used to accomplish a task, sliding penis-like rod in orifice」(or, FINGERING as a reasonable facsimile of a penis), DIGITAL TALENT.
「Skilled hands of tonguing mouth while providing services」might suggest DEPENDING ON the same sort of FINGER EXTENSION, EXTENDED FINGER(S) before dipping into herself or others bonobo-style, and DEPENDING ON the natural repeated application of saliva on fingers for starting and continuing the procedure (see 消. …just saying that's how it's done—don't like the glyph? blame the sages…). Something that most girls DEPEND ON for making HAIR STAND ON END (that means「genuine excitement」and not only pulling up one's hair strands). Used as a COUNTER FOR TRADITIONAL DANCING SONGS by the singing girls in China while dancing (without feet, remember) with「skilled tasty hands」: FINGERING.「Tasty cream on skilled hands with tonguing mouth」as licking the beaters, and so on.

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.
