Original form was 櫻: perhaps a「tree that dazzles, as do females」or「tree that dazzles females」or「tree with stuff flying out at female」are falling white petals of CHERRY BLOSSOMS blowing in the breeze…but why only「females」? men also walked under the trees…
　One admittedly fanciful explanation is that the top right elements, now「dazzling」were「wealth」(貝, 賏, 櫻 and you guess why) that depicted「dazzling」large nursing breasts that were full of warm mother's milk…two「fleshpots」or in English, perhaps「jugs of a woman」who recently has given birth and nurses her infant, so that her breasts, areola and nipples dripping whitish milk resemble large CHERRY BLOSSOMS dropping petals, and this glyph refers to an ornamental cherry tree. A woman who recently has given birth and may have torn some flesh down there might not be ready for vaginal-anal coitus just yet, but a partner could make due with those two warm soft orbs, no doubt;…Japanese cherry trees do not produce actual cherries as fruit, they are just for 'looking at' with falling cherry blossom petals resembling falling drops of mother's milk from the nipples when the baby is unable to suckle on schedule.
　Another explanation is that the top-right element formerly was depicting「big money」indicating a family planning to rear a girl baby (「suckling baby female」were the original right elements), and later sell her for big money after she blossoms to someone who will pay big time for her as a sex slave and for deflowering—petals falling all around, whitish drops falling all around, coins falling like blossom petals all around, and so on. Note that a different glyph (莓)「plant like mother's nipples」does not refer to cherries, but actually to strawberries (with all those little hair-like structures and red bumpy skin).
　HORSE MEAT has the appearance of most other red meat, so contrary to some suggestions, this meaning is not related to the color of the raw flesh. A century ago when there were no automobiles, most everyone either walked or rode a horse and knew much more about the behavior of these animals, since most folks owned at least one in order to get around. Male horses masturbate frequently when not asleep…see 馬, as do mares in estrus:「Feral and domestic stallions and some geldings also spend a considerable time masturbating (spontaneous erection and penile movement). Masturbation occurs at the same rate (one 3-minute episode every 90 minutes) in both feral and domestic horses. It occurs in all ages, breeds, and management situations and is considered a normal behavior. Masturbation does not affect fertility.」

　Whilst stud stallion horses employ various techniques, one clever method often enjoyed is using the forelegs for both friction and tactile pressure with the penis thrusting in between.「Woody with large breasts and white drops flying」in this case refers to semen ejaculation whilst tit-fucking, seen also in「woody with dazzling spurts upward at female」as a condition most likely accommodated whilst ejaculating with penis thrusting between large breasts, THE POSE OF A SATISFIED CUSTOMER with drops flying all around. Traditionally, there was no shame associated with this behavior in ancient times, and although「adequate」it may have been recognized as depraved a bit if overused (see 妥). Note further that this activity is not anywhere near as effective with someone flat-chested, although it has been tried, to be sure. And, while actual ornamental cherry blossom petals do indeed move upward in a stiff breeze, most often they fall downward, not up, as it is with most things not under pressure and spurting. Extended to mean SHILL, posing as a satisfied customer.
　「Evolutionary biologists have traced the origins of masturbation to ancient primates that predate the first humans by tens of millions of years. The findings emerged from what scientists believe is the largest dataset ever compiled on the activity, and confirm that humans arose on a branch of the tree of life replete with self-pleasuring predecessors. 'What we can say is this behaviour was present around 40m (40,000,000) years ago, in the common ancestor of all monkeys and apes,' said Dr Matilda Brindle, the lead researcher on the study at University College London. 'It's not that some species woke up one day and started doing it. This is an ancient, evolved trait.' '…This is such a common behaviour across the animal kingdom, I find it absolutely baffling that nobody has researched it before,' said Brindle. 'For people who think masturbation is wrong, or unnatural in some way, this is perfectly natural behaviour. It's part of our healthy repertoire of sexual behaviours.'」

　Without a doubt, the Irish also have knowledge of their own to pass along in these trying times:「Masturbation will not spread coronavirus, especially if you wash your hands (and any sex toys) with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after.」Nonetheless and regrettably, unlike in dynastic China, it must be undertaken alone to truly be a preventative countermeasure but still achieve the desired result with some degree of safety.

　The Dutch, too have the same solution—it seems masturbation has become mainstream in the media the world over due to the coronavirus (it has always been 'the main stream' in reality, albeit covertly for most folks):
　「'Don't have sex with your partner if they have been isolated because of (suspected) coronavirus infection,' the RVIM says. 'Sex with yourself or with others at a distance is possible (think of telling erotic stories, masturbating together).'」

　Needless to point out perhaps, but Chinese shamans from antiquity hit upon the same solution as a pandemic preventative countermeasure, honed for ultimate client satisfaction by utilizing naked females with no-longer-integrated feet as masturbatory sex buddies available for short-term rental with erotic visualization of live prepubescent female genitalia engaging in autoerotic stimulation herself, as a solution to the same problem facing us now, but in pre-Internet days.
