Meanings of elements

WATCHING FOR A DISCHARGE with PENIS
…or: VIEWING ON ALL SIDES a CURLED PENIS
…or: LOOSE DRIPPING ORIFICE with PENIS
…or: LOOSE DRIPPING PENILE ORIFICE

Unequivocally, the FIRST thing to do before commencing other activities is to take a good look at everyone and be sure all are healthy, not likely to spread an infection, and confirm whether the「penis orifice is loose, dripping and stinky」(not, is preferred) by「watching for discharge of penis.」If discharging AT THE BEGINNING, the best practice is to defer engagement (unless, everyone is already infected, perhaps).
On the contrary however, the FIRST thing needed with「penis」is the「loose, dripping orifice」of someone else, and then other activities may commence comfortably. To「be the first」suggests others are waiting in line, and that somewhere nearby there are both a「penis and orifice, loose and dripping」(and perhaps stinky, too).

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.
