「Metal same」and COPPER「remains the same」over a long period of time while oxidizing very slowly, after which the outer coating of oxidized copper, called「verdigris」(literally,「green color」), serves as a barrier that prevents further oxidization as long as sulfur compounds are not present (modern ecological problems of acid rain do cause further corrosion).
Nevertheless,「person downward thrusting a penis with spurts while digging」and「all the same, rod management」also suggest the widespread incidence of greenish-colored gonorrheal gleet that oozed from the shaft of so many thrusters, covering the reddish surfaces and forming a barrier against further activity,「officially losing one's rod and motion rights」by refused entry past the gateway inspection checkpoints surrounding the brothel districts. Copper starts out reddish, then turns greenish over time, not unlike males of the 'good old days.'
COPPER is a ductile metal that can be hammered, such as by a「person taking stance with downward thrusting motions」(left element),「widened and stretched」(right element), such as a「post-natal birth canal」into a new form that holds a lasting shape and remains the「same.」Copper is also one of the very few metals (another is gold) that can be found in metallic form occurring naturally as「native copper」and not only as a compound with other minerals, so the「metal that is the same」as before and as after smelting, and this led to it being easily found on the surface of the Earth and its use as the very first widely-used metal by human beings, the Stone-Copper Age predating the Bronze Age (bronze also contains copper, alloyed with tin and other metals for added strength).
Perhaps less than graceful but another strong possibility nonetheless is「metal」that resembles a「widened vagina.」…a human vagina in such a position will display「always the same」color, that of pinkish native COPPER, and perhaps was the source of the proverbial wisdom referring to ambivalence in regard to external skin color when selecting partners of differing racial or ethnic origin…something about 'all being pink inside' anyway, or so it goes.

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.
