「Words that are perplexing, confused」or「intercourse motion with puckered anus」or「intercourse with feet motions and sticky blobs」to represent as any sort of RIDDLE, PUZZLE, etc. Clearly, at least in female bonobos and human beings, the anal orifice is no longer conjoined with the vagina as it is with birds, reptiles, and other cloacal animals, so one could argue successfully that engaging in「sex actions with a puckered anus」does exhibit a degree of CONFUSION, unless performed deliberately. Perhaps sex ought not to be confusing, so if it is, there must be some other agenda besides just plain intercourse that needs to be solved as a RIDDLE, ENIGMA, PUZZLE, CONUNDRUM.
Nevertheless,「intercourse with feet motions and sticky blobs」actually at first solved many problems and was why it became so popular in China, PUZZLES and CONUNDRUMS such as: controlling the populace with a religious theme that would attract devotees and adherents and keep them returning enthusiastically for more, stopping runaway slaves and asset loss, obviate biting for revenge while fellating and associated compensatory damage payments, mitigate the spread of disease and infection due to contact with mucous membrane(s), eliminate miscommunication of directives to ewes, maximizing profits under centralized management and control, establishment of feeder enterprises in a vertically-structured conglomerate supply chain fulfilling a full array of economic demand, establishing professional level skills to limit competition via monopolies and secure client dependence, and so on. In short, how to become a gazillionaire by selling sex slavery services.
From a modern perspective the RIDDLE becomes: why did「intercourse with feet splats」have so many「enthusiastic fanatics」?

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.
