「Flow」in a「narrow path, cooperating snakes」describes the normally small entrance used by many cooperating ships taking turns snaking through a narrow opening while entering and exiting a HARBOR or PORT, useful for quelling larger wave actions emanating from the open sea. The port entrance then opens into a larger cavity-shaped area where ships may safely dock.
「Vast flow, flood with decrepit penises」suggestive of 'any PORT in the storm' will suffice.
「Flows within alleys, paths that snake together」as a river delta as viewed from the sea, coming together like snakes to form the main river, and a river delta is often near the site of a SEAPORT, enabling transport both inland (upriver) and on the high seas. The「alleys」perhaps allegorically are trade routes coming「together」in a PORT, HARBOR, the point where a river and the sea come together. River currents can be seen snaking a long way into the sea from a PORT, particularly if the river water is muddy (as is the Yellow River in China).
Then again, SEAPORTS full of drunken sailors searching for「back alleyways」(right element) may have been literally the「flow of getting together in an orgiastic frenzy of fluid flows from upward thrusting snaking or decrepit penes」a rendition of all the elements describing sailors on leave in PORT cooperating by taking their turn entering and exiting a cavity of a service provider. Note that while the male snake possesses a forked penis, or hemipenes, he normally does not copulate with two females simultaneously, which is an action reserved for human males in dreams, it seems…hemipenes are half-open penises, with semen troughs exposed, here depicting sticky fluids gushing on all sides and not unlike sailors on shore leave in a PORT, HARBOR after being on board a ship many months.

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.
