Perhaps, politely「speaking to people」or「speaking method.」Right element is what today has become a polite form of「person」and this meant to INQUIRE widely about something under INVESTIGATION by speaking formally to many people, which seemingly entails CALLING ON and VISITING, ARRIVING AT each person's home and finally perhaps making an ACCUSATION.
　「Intercourse methods」as an INVESTIGATION,「intercourse with you?」is a natural INQUIRY, and both interpretations might entail CALLING ON and VISITING, ARRIVING AT each person's home and finally COMING, perhaps making an ACCUSATION, too.
　However, elements as「foreplay of scorpions」also make sense. The animals use pheromones and a series of spasmodic body vibrations to identify each other as being a male or a female INQUIRING about the other's sex (not unlike humans shaking booty or gyrating and grinding genitalia together on a dance floor…hey, you gotta find out since nowadays those cross-dressers are everywhere it seems, right? the INTERVIEW process means 'to see what's inside'). During scorpion foreplay (that is, behavior prior to copulation), the male takes the female's pedipalps in his own and they seem to dance, at times for many hours continuously (the INTERVIEW process). While remaining locked on the female as a pair, and with occasional spasmodic body vibrations (CARING for the female's need to stay stimulated), the male searches for (INVESTIGATE, SEEK) a place on the ground that is appropriate for depositing a packet of sperm (to observers, it appears that the two go VISITING, or GO CALLING from place to place), and then waltzes the female over the packet with contact, causing fertilization (the ARRIVAL). The male normally beats a hasty exit (as if ACCUSED of some crime) to avoid becoming her snack, as scorpions are sometimes cannibalistic and hungry after engaging in sex for hours on end, just as are some human beings.
