「Almost everyone has parasites. It's simply a fact of life. …ninety percent of humans will have a problem with parasites in their lifetime. …The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies parasites as among the six most dangerous diseases that infect humans. Parasites outrank cancer as the number one global killer, and account for many of the digestive woes from which people suffer. The CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) estimates that over sixty million people in the United States are likely infected with Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite associated with raw meat and contact with cat feces. …There are more than a hundred different types of parasites who enjoy living out their lives inside of human beings.」

And how much worse were these conditions several millennia ago? if one member of a tribe was infested with ANAL PARASITES, it was highly likely that all members were infested. It is also clearly possible that the sages were referring to the FAMILY MEMBERS themselves as anal parasites as burrowers into a sibling's night soil, parents with children, and so on. Note that such behavior often leads to the parasitic colonization of other orifices with mucous membranes other than just the anus. Parasites can generally feed off of any soft and wet tissue.
「Buttocks, genitals」and「firmly attached inside spread legs.」For snakes that is the cloaca of the female, the single orifice used for reproduction, urination, defecation, and birth, attached to one hemipenis of the male, all「firmly attached.」A KIND, GENUS as related to biology, as one kind of animal normally「hooks up genitalia」and copulates only with another animal of the same kind, and normally of the opposite sex—although that is not an absolute rule, and obviously does not apply to zooerastiating humans, the species presumed to possess the highest degree of intelligence…
Yet, as a「repeatedly bobbing head of snake in buttocks」or「repeatedly loose dripping stink in orifice within spread-legged buttocks」to mean CONCENTRATED ATTENTION, NAMELESS, ALL OF THE SAME KIND it is difficult to dismiss this glyph also as a reference to homosexual male humans, bonobos, or swine serving into rectums…especially in light of related glyphs.

さっか ・ つき
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.
