「Hairy animal, soft and tender」as one that grooms its offspring and other troupe members, picking parasites. Also likely as「animal spearing head into lordosis position with woody」common among MACAQUES in heat of estrus, being BRISK and NIMBLE. Some species of macaques have some dull yellow-colored hair, but not all.
　MACAQUES are well-known as masturbators, another cause of light-yellowish hair.「Male Masturbation in Free-Ranging Japanese Macaques」is one of many examples of research can be found here at https://www.ucl.ac.uk/anthropology/people/honorary/r_thomsen/papers/Thomsen___Soltis_2004_IJP.pdf.
　「Monkey with yellow hair」is also a likely reference to hair of a hose monkey containing specks or globs of the emissions described in the right element, those of semen (and in some cases, pus) after BRISK and NIMBLE SCRATCHING motions are applied liberally to a「spearing tool, woody.」Perhaps the monkey references a service provider designated by the elements「animal soft and tender」but using long head hair as the medium for sensation and fluid exchange.
　SCRATCHING refers to the best means of removing the ejaculate, which is/was to allow it to fully dry and then scratch out the crusty pieces with one's fingernails or a comb. Wet semen will not be removed from hair under most circumstances. It is significant that the glyphs meaning primate, monkey, ape, bonobo seem to use some sort of reference to royals, the capital, sex with children, wearing robes, webbed or no-longer-integrated feet, harems, and so on. MACAQUES also maintain harems as do other primates.
　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).'」

　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.
