「Emission from broken bent wood」「sticky splat of covering, controlled spurting」relates to beads of sap appearing on the surface of a break in live wood, and to a continual flow of such drips, beads of fluid falling one drip or bead at a time from a woody head during the infectious period. The word 'gonorrhea' in English means「seeds flowing.」
May also depict a SINGLE DROP related to「sticky splat with erection」containing a BEAD of fluid: an essential DROP of sexual bodily secretions, either in one or both sexes. At the starting point of sexual activity for most (but not all) humans, a few drops of pre-ejaculate bulbourethral fluid are discharged from the male Cowper's glands in order to lubricate the interior of the urethra, allowing sticky seminal fluids to slide more easily and not cling to a dry internal tube wall that would impede the flow of fluids. The vagina is similarly lubricated, although in successful cases with more fluid, from Bartholin's glands for the same reason, and for the added function of easing the penile head sliding motions, preventing her discomfort.
Note that 'rice standing' is seldom, if ever, anything close to beads or grains…rather, it is firmly attached to the ends of long bobbing stalks. Furthermore, rice grains individually or in a mass will seldom, if ever, stand on end—think about it.

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.
