A deeper meaning makes more sense, as the right element likely refers to「person relaxing at an inn along a route with downward thrusting into an orifice」and based upon the old elements replaced by the inner-right element, that orifice was most likely a mouth full of meat and swallowing fluids. In which case, the meaning of this glyph may very well be to ABANDON, FORSAKE the use of the「repeatedly bobbing head thrusting in mouth」that has been in high tension for a long time and switch to the「talented use of both hands」to cause the finishing climax, with DISPOSITION as the quickest means of ending the task. These relaxation techniques have proven effective as an aid to ABANDONING, FORSAKING, and DISPOSING OF all cares and worries, at least temporarily (see 舗, 舖). Note that each meaning also suggests「willing leave a little something behind when you depart」such as, something from the tip.
「The old way of person getting lucky」as perhaps the「use of talented hands」with a「tongue」that was FORSAKEN, ABANDONED with the advent of dis-integrating the feet of prepubescent females in dynastic China. And with Japanese elements of「hand use with person and feces orifice」the glyph suggests leaving behind a used paper mulberry leaf or three after wiping one's anus,「a person bringing a matter to a conclusion, wrap up, enclose fully」and so on. Other element combinations are self-evident.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment
(see 籒 for that)
and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language.
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!
Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up.
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 bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only 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 dictionary.
This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
