Meanings of elements

THIS IS THE POINT, THIS SPOT RIGHT HERE with INSATIABLE LUST, COVETOUSNESS, FULLY ENJOYING YOURSELF WITH NO RESTRICTIONS, GREED, AVARICE, INDULGENCE, VORACIOUS DESIRE and with AN ARRAY OF ITEMS, RECIPROCATING MOTION OF ROD STALK, INDICATES EXTENT
…or: COMMAND, AN ORDER, A RULE, CAUSE TO OCCUR and HEAD FACE DOWNWARD, COGITATE

「Now with emphasis on springy tension and facing downward」「enjoying yourself fully with no restrictions with an array of items」suggests STICKING ONE'S NECK OUT and the head, too.「Command kneeling in lordosis position」and「head with face downward」will obviously reveal the back of one's NECK and COLLAR, such as when displaying obeisance by kowtowing or preparing for an execution.「Give an order」with a person's「head with face downward」to mean everyone bowing to the LEADER.
　NECK may be the literal result of what「commands the head」as the neck is the set of muscles and bones used to raise, control, and move that mass. STICKING ONE'S NECK OUT on behalf of the leader, a person who will get the axe from the lord upon failure (lords and bosses take the praise for a win themselves, generally), a slit throat, guillotined, sword swinging down onto the back of the neck, what have you. Clearly from the perspective of a lord or boss with JURISDICTION, DOMINION, all subjects could be「commanded, ordered to lower one's head」in respectful submission, or prior to being executed.

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.
