OVARIES (egg glands). Chinese zodiac sign of the Rabbit, known for both prodigious copulation with eggs in OVARIES as gametes, and for their OVARIES that are used in scientific testing and research. Replacement glyph for 夘,「meat of person bending over.」A CONEY (the original pronunciation rhymed with 'honey, money, bunny'). Also meaning a MORTISE, which is the part of a joint with a somewhat vaginally-shaped cavity that receives in between its sides 'wood' with a somewhat penile shape, known as a tenon, to form a joining of the two pieces. While the elements may actually be「repeatedly up and down while erect in someone bent over」it should suffice to suggest that the comprehensive shapes of the glyph themselves may depict OVARIES with an orifice portal for access and subsequent birth canal.
　It cannot be overemphasized that the normal method of copulating with prostitutes in dynastic China was to use their no-longer-integrated feet as masturbatory aids, due to the risk of spreading disease. However, if a sufficient fee was tendered,「erection in high-priced」orifices, those with OVARIAN access could be negotiated.

　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.
　「…many people, unfortunately, feel shame around masturbation, despite the fact that 98% of people will masturbate at some point.」　[　https://www.health.com/mind-body/health-diversity-inclusion/autosexual-meaning 2022-12-13　]
