Literally speaking, any「person moving」is performing some form of WORK if applying the literal definition of work used in physics. Normally though, in the old days「people moving」were WORKING, and other people who were not moving (that is sitting, standing, sipping a pint, eating, and so on) were more likely in some place watching a sporting contest and gambling, or some such leisure activity. As「efforts with child」or more specifically,「person」with「heavy, serious, pile」of「erection and tense gasps」the elements may have described how children were/are often employed by adults, as in TO PERPETRATE, and TO CONJUGATE and to PHYSICALLY JOIN TOGETHER WITH another to form one physical unit. See 好 and 童 among many examples, realizing that it is the child who likely is working most in these cases:「person swinging, shaking, forcing agitating motions」and「person piling on in tiers with gasping tense erection」seems applicable, especially when considering how children have been treated throughout history and the fundamental central elements of「repeatedly screwing within soil walls.」

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.
