Meanings of elements
HORSE in CONTAINER
…or: PESTLE in CAVITY
…or: HORSE and EMERGING GLANS
…or: HEAD with DRY THRUSTING into CAVITY
…or: ROD HEAD HORIZONTALLY SCREWING within CAVITY
Elements of「horse in cavity」using the old zodiac glyph meaning「Horse」(). Most likely, depicts a method of preserving horsemeat for later consumption. Even today, China and Japan are relatively large consumers of horsemeat. Wild horses were often hunted for meat in Asia.
 A「container」and a「pestle」for mashing in the contents of a CAN, as it were, containing「canned」food. Preserving foodstuffs by the CANNING PROCESS: heat the contents to boiling with a lid applied that self-seals after heating, so that after the contents cool, a vacuum seal is created by the residual lower air pressure inside, and the heating process destroys bacteria, preserving the food (hopefully): MEAT PACKING is also the source of the English word「to botch」that formerly referred to a failed attempt to properly preserve meat for future use (same reason the Chinese used rock pestles to dis-integrate feet and then pack them into bindings), creating a prime breeding environment for pathogens…in the case of meat canning, the pathogen of botulism ('botch'-u-lism).
 Also evident with elements as「horse pestle in cavity」packing meat…even if measured by human standards, horses do tend to masturbate rather frequently, about every ninety minutes or so (see ), with the sort of meat packing alluded to in this glyph being the activities of a bored human female.
 As an element in other glyphs, literally「head downward thrusting penis in cavity」as a female packing her own meat, referring to dildo manipulation and regularly masturbating, an activity that garnered no shame or embarrassment in dynastic China—quite the contrary, with masturbation being encouraged to prevent the spread of infection (these days, too), celebrated to be enjoyed until old age worthy of congratulations (寿), and the frequent subject of fine art evidenced by porcelain, ivory, and jade dildos.
 Note that various glyphs pronounced in Japanese as kama have been suggested as the referent to a male homosexual (, , , or ), with these elements「horse, head downward thrusting in cavity, meat packing」as one possibility. Perhaps the reason why in English a buttocks is sometimes referred to as a「can」with the same reasoning applied to a LAVAtory commode or toilet bowl.
 And finally,「head sliding dry in cavity」and「horse, horsing in cavity」seems to refer to straddle-mounting and riding upon a herd asset animal as one might mount and ride a horse while performing mammary intercourse-style masturbation, better understood as「tit-fucking」(no further explanation needed).
 「…many people, perhaps unfortunately, feel shame around masturbation, despite the fact that 98% of people will masturbate at some point.」

 Without a doubt, the Irish also have knowledge of their own to pass along in these trying times:「Masturbation will not spread coronavirus, especially if you wash your hands (and any sex toys) with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after.」Nonetheless and regrettably, unlike in dynastic China, it must be undertaken alone to truly be a preventative countermeasure but still achieve the desired result with some degree of safety.

 The Dutch, too have the same solution—it seems masturbation has become mainstream in the media the world over due to the coronavirus (it has always been 'the main stream' in reality, albeit covertly for most folks):
 「'Don't have sex with your partner if they have been isolated because of (suspected) coronavirus infection,' the RVIM says. 'Sex with yourself or with others at a distance is possible (think of telling erotic stories, masturbating together).'」
  [ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/15/dutch-official-advice-to-single-people-find-a-sex-buddy-for-lockdown-coronavirus 2020-05-16 ] 
 Needless to point out perhaps, but Chinese shamans from antiquity hit upon the same solution as a pandemic preventative countermeasure, honed for ultimate client satisfaction by utilizing naked females with no-longer-integrated feet as masturbatory sex buddies available for short-term rental with erotic visualization of live prepubescent female genitalia engaging in autoerotic stimulation herself, as a solution to the same problem facing us now, but in pre-Internet days.

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.
