Elements today appear to be top portion of (留)「animal mouth bit, harness, controlled movement, fastened, detained, confined, keep in one place」with「fleshpots, wealth」to mean a BUSINESS EXCHANGE. Original meaning is more akin to BARTERING OR TRADING services, one thing for something else.
RASHLY MIXING may refer to all the shamans services, those of god-huckstering and soothsaying (for a fee) to tell a client what they need, then providing that need (for a fee) with services, subsequently rendering medical treatments with reaming and poultice dressings with net wrappings after infection (for a fee) and finally providing certification on a clean bill of health (for a fee) as a ticket to re-enter the brothels and repeat the cycle.
Related glyph (留) shown for comparison, having a similar meaning. Top strokes are quite similar to those meaning「slit, ovaries」(卯, 鄮) and seem to have been the original element in the oldest Chinese glyphs, with the related various access and egress actions, and some have suggested these elements are「ovarian slit with fleshpot」as the goods and services of the first BUSINESS EXCHANGES, BARTERING OR TRADING as the foundation of COMMERCE, that of selling young girls with no-longer-integrated feet as sex slaves who cannot escape by running off and are trained as concubines by the shaman, the first BUSINESS EXCHANGES that consisted of trade in human breeding stock, that of live human animal meat to wealthy patrons,「harnessed with controlled movement, fastened, detained, confined, keep in one place as one's fleshpot, wealth.」Furthermore, the shamans jealously guarded their business territories in order to maintain their monopoly for providing such public services as long as possible, and this glyph also refers to CONFINED TRADING, LIMITED VENTURES for that reason.

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.
