Meanings of elements

PERSON, SLIDING HEAD of ROD and DO WITH, BY MEANS OF OR THE USE OF IN ORDER TO DO (SOMETHING), STARTING FROM THIS POINT
…or: PERSON with RAISED FOOT (emphasized) and ERECTION TAUT

Oldest version of this glyph is「person, rod head sliding」with「according to use, what something is for」or a「person and buttocks hole」(佀) mentioned now so that we all know the gist of what is being referred to, a「person with another person and rod head up and in with emphasis」(significantly, service providers and concubines in dynastic China were owned chattel, herd meat assets, sex slaves…and not considered to be a 'person' with the same rights as an adult male).
　Elements of a「person at the starting point」who thinks that conditions SEEM TO BE THE SAME…the action being depicted by the right element (以), the LOOK AND FEEL ARE SIMILAR and RESEMBLES the functions of a natural vaginal orifice.
　SIMILAR, nevertheless a COUNTERFEIT and FRAUDULENT IMITATION of the real thing, the starting point of a male having sex with a female's bound feet: for those cases, right elements became「taut erection in pursuit with emphasis」with anything similar to but a counterfeit of, an imitation of the vaginal orifice, yet SUITABLE for the intended purpose:「Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's bound feet.」
　　[　https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_binding 2012-12-17　]　
　no-longer-integrated feet were much easier to clean thoroughly in order to limit the spread of disease, and while at times presented some danger of piercing a client with a protruding bone splinter, feet also do not normally include teeth with which to bite and sever a penis, inflicting damages that the shaman was forced to recompense.「Sitting person with raised feet」is a service provider, as seen in these glyphs: 比, 北 and in some cases, one who has been rejected as a COUNTERFEIT, an IMITATION.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. 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! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. 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 bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only 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 dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
