「Both hands captured, enclosed」equates to the English 'my hands are tied' as the CAUSE for DEPENDING upon someone else to do something, for help, or to solve a problem.
「Enclosed with a taut hand」(male), or,「hand taut in orifice」(female) are conditions nearly all humans DEPEND UPON from time to time to CAUSE a desired result in order to relieve internal stress and pressure autoerotically. Obviously, anyone who becomes「enclosed」or「captured, confined」and alone as only「one enclosed person」DEPENDS UPON, is CAUSED to use his or her「own two hands」for that matter. The REASON FOR using hands is because of one's solitary confinement and having no access to anyone else…a guard or two might be somewhat friendly, but not likely to reciprocate any favors, particularly if the reason for captivity is a pandemic viral infection. Notably, medical professionals the world over are currently recommending this very sort of sexual release during the COrona VIrus Disease of 2019, COVID-19.

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.
