Meanings of elements

PALM DOWN UNDER CONTROL, COVERED HEAD OF SOMETHING or TWO, CHANGE OF PHYSICAL STATE with ROD and another ROD with PUT IN A CAVITY AND AN ORIFICE SIMULTANEOUSLY, INSUFFICIENT IN MANY RESPECTS, ONE IN POUCH WITH ONE IN MOUTH

「Intercourse」with right element of doing two things at once, which leads to being「unable」to do them both simultaneously. Perhaps refers to being「unable to speak」with someone else due to great awe of the other's presence, HUMILITY, SELF-DEPRECATION, MODESTY, SELF-ABASEMENT.「Speaking concurrently」is another apparent meaning, but remember that such behavior as speaking while someone else is speaking would be rude and in need of BEING HUMBLED.
More to the point in a pre-Viagra® era before encapsulated sildenafil citrate was offered in twenty or so unwanted emails daily,「cannot intercourse」was HUMILIATING, SELF-DEPRECATING, MODESTY, SELF-ABASEMENT for the male. But even more to the point is that any person living as a sex slave subjected to the sort of life in which continually sucking and massaging erupting infected penile shafts (right element) as the only means of survival, one after another every day, year in and year out, and two at a time if demanded on each end of one's body, is perhaps a most HUMILIATING, ABASED, SELF-DEPRECATING and MODEST existence. All the elements in raw form are:「fellatrix repeatedly bobbing head and hand split between two inverted thrusting penises」as a life「words are unable」to adequately describe.

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.
