Providing a「cockring with a fleshpot」was a favorite of the shaman in her caves o' wonder since the time-and-billing model in use generated considerable COIN MONEY over and above the standard three-minute schtupper.
Literally「enclosure of members」as「enclosure of orifices and fleshpots.」「Enclosure of round」「annulus money」as COINS that formerly were minted with a hole in the center (annulus: space between two concentric circles).「Enclosed members」perhaps meaning a members-only group or「circle」as the original glyph was「enclosure with orifice on fleshpot.」May have referred to a small, members-only group of the master's household with access to the harem, or, that performed gang-bang sex with someone tied to a fleshpot (see「dream」夢).
Perhaps one sharp-witted son-of-a-bitch/shaman figured out that they could charge a fee for access to「vulva, vortex within widely spread legs」(the modern replacement for this glyph) and collect MONEY, today known as「pimping」and like it or not most folks will admit that erotic Internet sites generate boatloads of MONEY.
Gold, silver and copper COINS were early forms of money since meat soon spoiled, fattened or aged, and people were not yet stupid enough to accept clam shells any longer, or paper IOUs from the government, or worse, ethereal, digitally-assigned electronic debits and credits. Note that some items used as commonly-accepted money function as both a store of value and as a medium of exchange, so using something besides literal raw meat that spoils or sexual services meat that must be enjoyed all at once and not saved for a rainy day does have a purpose within a society.
Modern replacement elements of「spread legs」and「vulva」depict the vaginal orifice, that is arguably also a「vortex」of some sort (particularly, the vaginal/ cloacal shape of some species of animals, such as ducks). Further note that scorpion burrows are actually shaped as downward spiralling vortices, and use a very similar glyph.
Coins and Japanese yen are also associated with this direct reference as a means of earning money, considering these elements and those also used in the glyphs meaning:「sell」「buy」「shop」「business」「trade」and so on, and so forth.

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.
