In addition to including「a hired servant as service provider」(佣) and other colorful element combinations, three versions of the top-right elements are used today in various fonts for this glyph: (1)「piled one on top of another, multiple upward thrusting members cooperating while doing the same action orgiastically」(2)「twenty or so, bastards」(3)「plants, emerging shafts, or prepubescent female.」One of these various top elements appears above (4)「head sliding」or (5)「curtain, cliff」or (6)「hand」or「array of erections.」Bottom internal element is「now in use, rod in meat.」Simplified modern Chinese for this glyph uses elements of「head in crotch, spread feet」with「plugging orifice」and this fact along with the old source glyph seem to support the scenario of EQUIPPING, PREPARING for sexual activity by GETTING INTO A STATE OF READINESS, lubricious, fully lubricated and/or tissue engorged with blood. Old related glyph (僃) contained elements of「person with prepubescent female and head in high tension causing gasping using rod in spread-legged mooning position」is obviously someone preparing herself for intercourse by application of a dildo, likely two-pronged version as described in related glyphs.

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.
