Meanings of elements
HEAD OF PRICK over EYE
「Raw prick head with eye」as CATARACTS, a milky-whitish clouding of the eye in spots that might appear similar to a splat of spunk blinding an eyeball. ERROR, FAULT that seems to place the blame upon the service provider for not being sufficiently observant prior to spurting, or, due to decoupling her oral orifice immediately prior to ejaculation. CRIME seems to place the blame on the client for not providing sufficient advance notice of an impending raw discharge that ends up in the eye or eyes of the service provider, or conversely, spurts basting (貹) his own eyeballs whilst gazing with face downward, as is depicted by other glyphs.
Note that the pundits who render these elements as "eyes live" have difficulty arriving at any of the given meanings. On the other hand, how far of an intuitive leap is it from "eyeball under prick head" to ERROR if accicental, or to CRIME if deliberate, or to CATARACT as a joke?
A CATARACT is defined as any "clouding or opacification" of the normally clear, transparent crystalline lens of the eye or its surrounding capsule. Under normal physiological conditions, the lens allows light to pass through and precisely focus on the retina. When any sort of milky-whitish clouding strikes the eyeball as would occur due to some sort of an ERROR, the architecture of the lens is disrupted, causing light to scatter and block clear image formation, which leads to vision loss. Note that the Chinese sages likely were not intimating that cataracts are always caused by spunk in one's eye, but rather, the joke was that it appeared to be so after some sort of human error had occurred.

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)
Chinese: cataract of the eye; error
Japanese EDRDG: disease of the eyes, crime, fault
Unihan extended: disease of the eyes; crime, fault

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.
