Meanings of elements

ORIFICE and ERECTION and NO-LONGER-INTEGRATED FOOT with SEVER, SLICE, CUT
…or: ERECTION within ORIFICE of NO-LONGER-INTEGRATED FOOT with TENSION GASPS and REAMING

It might be argued, and argued successfully, that in dynastic China any combination of the elements「orifice, erection, tense gasps no-longer-integrated feet, with reaming rod streaming」resulted in SOMETHING SPECIAL, DISTINGUISHED, and SEPARATE from the rest, A CUT ABOVE THE OTHERS, leaving the rest behind, and so on. The two bony parts of no-longer-integrated feet (heel section, and ball of foot with toe(s) section) needed to be SEPARATED prior to use after removing the binding cloths, since the sections tended to get a bit stuck together as the sticky fluids coagulated. As depicted in erotic Chinese art, men in dynastic China masturbated by wrapping no-longer-integrated feet around an erect penis ostensibly to lower the risk of contracting a sexually transmissible disease or infection that often occurred when performing coitus within some sort of mucous membrane system of a female service provider, and, to gain hand-control over the pressure applied to the foot meat surrounding a weakened penis that functioned as a living cockring.
Some suggest the left element perhaps is a distorted combination「orifice」with「reaming, sword」or「sword reaming orifice…」As it related to 列, a glyph that referred to EXTRA SPECIAL torture techniques of slicing off flesh from a living person, SEPARATING (this English word also means「slice off a PART with a paring knife」) a little at a time from those PARTICULARLY delicate and sensitive regions of the human anatomy as a torture or punishment, sometimes over 1,000 thin slices have been braggadociously recorded while the victim was still alive, and THAT is taking pride in your job (regardless of how cruel it may actually be). Butchers have offered special cuts of meat for thousands of years, often sliced EXTRA-thin in Asia (some talents never die).

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.
