「Change location, be promoted」with「emissions」and「to be, a possession」describes taking delivery of a newly-purchased sexual slave in dynastic China.
「Viewing women as commodities [see 品] was also made customary from Song Dynasty (960 - 1279) forward, both in the suddenly expanded labor market and within relationships. Men could sell their female kin to slavery or prostitution, and frequently did.」
[ https://www.zum.de/whkmla/sp/0910/hersheys/hersheys5.html 2011-04-05 ]
「Motion sublime」「following the prescribed path with seeds on woody stalk tip」refer to PENETRATION of a TRANSPARENT MEMBRANE with the ensuing blood flow SOAKING, LEAKING, which here is depicted as the best thing in the Universe, that of deflowering a virgin female and penetrating her hymen as (perhaps) her first sexual experience, CLEARING THAT PATH, and CREATING AN OPENING. Also meaning a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY as one that should never be passed up. A WEAK SPOT, a SPOT THAT CAN BE PENETRATED. Note as well that the「motion of repeatedly bending over, stretching and reaching to one's limit」is another circumstance that may rupture a virgin's hymen.
「Following the prescribed path with gonorrhea」: PENETRATION of a MUCOUS MEMBRANE with the ensuing blood flow SOAKING, LEAKING, which here is depicted as the worst thing in the Universe, that of contracting the clap or pox via the WEAK SPOTS of a body, with bacteria and viruses taking advantage of a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY to colonize a new host…「superlative motion」is that which is the most in comparison to anything similar, and not necessarily reflective of any value judgement of goodness or evil. SUPERLATIVE literally refers to the highest or lowest in degree, and in the case of these elements as「possessing gonorrhea」it can likely be agreed that, while perhaps not the lowest in life any longer, it still is relatively bad.

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.
