Meanings of elements
STRINGY THREADS that COMPLY
…or: EJACULATION while STANDING IN LINE WAITING
As WARP THREADS on a loom, threads were strung LENGTHWISE, hanging VERTICALLY and controlled (「obediently」) by heddles. Right element is「complying, following only in the same actions of the ones who went before you.」While weaving, the threads held VERTICALLY (named the「warp」threads, the origin of the English「warped」) are slightly slack and must conform to (comply, follow, obey) the various shapes of the weave pattern. As one example, every second thread was raised by the foot pedals, the shuttle passed through, and then those threads lowered and all the adjacent threads raised for the shuttle's next pass in the opposite direction (using「foot motion」like「steps」to pull up one set of threads, then the other, forcing the threads to comply and follow along with the foot pedal directions).
SELF-INDULGENT likely stems from「ejaculation」while「standing in line waiting for your turn with a busy concubine or service provider.」EVEN IF, ALTHOUGH there is a willing orifice up ahead,「I just cannot wait any longer」with the VERTICAL meaning as the inevitable effect of the Earth's gravity,「sticky strings while loitering with erotic spurting stance」when SELF-INDULGENT and indulging oneself with a selfie.

External source definitions …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may include extended definitions, euphemisms, and mnemonics)

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.
