Glyph elements  [ Toggle Font ]

Meanings of elements
SMALL YOUNG MONS, STREAM of EMISSIONS with SLIDING HEAD
…or: HEAD SLIDING below MONS with EMISSION STREAM above
[Elements vary by font]「Small stream emission from a young person's mons venus」with「head sliding」below the mons: means only a SHORT TIME, or a SHORT DISTANCE, a SMALL AMOUNT, a FEW drops sliding down, SOMETHING THAT OUGHT TO BE STOPPED or PERFORMED INFREQUENTLY, SELDOM, or LITTLE BY LITTLE and not all in one single motion. Connotations of the relationship with flows of sexual fluids are unmistakable, especially when used as an element in other glyphs, and seem to indicate a young female using the fluids that have oozed from and over her various orifices as lubrication for entry into those port as well, or, quite possibly refers to self-deflowering using any one of a variety of methods as SOMETHING THAT OUGHT TO BE STOPPED (...why waste that highly marketable and profitable session?). With male-related glyphs, LACKING and not something to be desired. SHORT TIME may refer to the duration necessary to achieve orgasm in these circumstances.
Pundits tell us that this glyph shape as a modern element is also related to an「inverted foot」(步, 歩) and if so, as one posture with a very young Chinese female having no-longer-integrated feet held inverted with a streaming head wrapped inside and sliding. See examples of Chinese erotic art for verification. Foot binding and dis-integrating the bones was started with the SMALL and YOUNG:
Foot binding and dis-integrating was「…[T]he custom of applying painfully tight binding to the feet of young girls to prevent further growth…, usually between the ages of 2 and 5. …Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's [un]bound feet.」
[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_binding 2012-12-17 ]

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)
Chinese: young; few; to lack; to be missing; to stop (doing sth); seldom
Japanese EDRDG: few, little
Unihan extended: few, less, inadequate

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.
