「Craftily working seam in flesh」with「tapered woody shaft, driving into soil or flesh, discharging」normally follows the same PATTERN or FORM, the same STYLE each time, well known affectionately the world over and immortalized in the term「doggy-style」the PRACTICE of copulating that has been repeated endlessly from time immemorial, the same way for hundreds of millions of years, the same way for billions upon billions of dogs and bitches, bulls and cows, boars and sows, and most all mammalian species…yet it is named in both Chinese and English after man's best friend, likely due to the unique physiological construction and functions of the male canid's penis (see 弋 for an explanation) or man's own penis, naturally.
RITUAL is「a detailed method of procedure faithfully or regularly followed, the prescribed order of a religious CEREMONY」
[ https://www.thefreedictionary.com/ritual ]
Note that the elements「seam of flesh」with「doggy-style」may not be referring to a vagina in all cases, particularly when used to mean PRACTICE.
Scholars suggest that 'working dog' may refer to practicing various styles of herding sheep, or, 'crafty lances' may refer to various styles of twirling weapons and marching such as during a victory parade by the military, band leaders, and baton twirlers prancing in a ceremony…(?).

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.
