「Emissions in all directions」with「copulation」: in dynastic China, highly-valued and expensive concubines as sitting persons with no-longer-integrated feet (匕 so popular in dynastic China) were used as live meat for sex (not being very useful for much else), and becoming pregnant was perhaps one of the worst situations for her and her owner/lord/master. Although females can, humans as primates normally do not engage in coitus while anestrus such as during pregnancy, an OMEN of future birth. Pregnant bellies continually enlarge and harden until the amniotic fluid bursts. Generally, a harem could be categorized into「two states for copulation with concubines」as those with SIGNS OF PREGNANCY or those without.
Less likely perhaps, elements also as「sticky liquids」merged with「copulating.」The whole glyph resembles a vagina and ovaries, and could refer to the vomit of morning sickness [a sticky liquid], more frequent urination [another sticky liquid], as OMENS, SYMPTOMS of pregnancy:「A few days after conception, the fertilized egg attaches itself to [a] wall of the uterus. This can cause one of the earliest signs of pregnancy—spotting and, sometimes, cramping. That's called implantation bleeding [another sticky liquid]. It occurs anywhere from six to [twelve] days after the egg is fertilized. The cramps resemble menstrual cramps, so some women mistake them and the bleeding for the start of [menstruation]. The bleeding and cramps, however, are slight. Besides bleeding, a woman may notice a white, milky discharge from her vagina [another sticky liquid]. That's related to the thickening of the vagina's walls, which starts almost immediately after conception. The increased growth of cells lining the vagina causes the discharge.」

Also means ONE TRILLION, one million million, as perhaps an estimated count of「sticky liquids」with「copulating」or, those afflicted with gonorrhea.

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.
