Allegorically,「sticky thread, human connections from start to end and side to side」as the entire weave of an ERA, AGE, TIME PERIOD, CHRONICLE, and in fact early societies created actual weavings of cloth or beads to record their histories.
　「Human connections from sexual intercourse」as a CHRONICLE or LIVING RECORD of one's past experiences with partners of the opposite sex and the lineage of descendants.
　「From ejaculation to decrepit condition of a penis」refers to the entire specific sequence of events from start to finish, leading to the end of an AGE, ERA during one's life. Avoiding disease demanding DISCIPLINE. From everyone's supposedly healthy start until the decrepit finish as the CHRONICLE of one's escapades, with DISCIPLINE required after becoming infected, which was only a matter of time back then, and today too, for sexually active folks who are not careful.
　An official transaction journal was maintained of the emperor (or a lord) and each interaction with a member listed as a registered concubine for the purposes of determining lineage, and of course daily scheduling to mitigate jealousy among the harem. Literally, each blow, session with a foot-kicking lame concubine, and ejaculate discharge was recorded by the eunuchs in China.

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.
