When the Chinese definition is displayed in parentheses and is not an explanatory remark, the indication generally is that the given definition is merely an assumption, and other sources have then copied that assumption.
HYPERSEXUAL BEHAVIOR such as CLUSTERFUCKING:「…researchers have discovered that a cicada fungus called Massopora contains chemicals similar to those found in hallucinogenic mushrooms. The fungus causes cicadas to lose their limbs and eccentric behavior sets in: Males try to mate with everything they encounter, although the fungus has consumed their genitals and butts. Despite the horrid physical state of infected cicadas, they continue to roam around freely as if nothing's wrong, dousing other cicadas with a dose of their disease. …Cicadas first encounter the fungus underground where they spend 13 to 17 years [slogging through and ingesting their own fecal slurry, for that matter] before emerging to the surface as adults…. Within seven to 10 days above ground, the abdomen begins to slough off revealing the fungal infection at the end of the cicada…quite the coming out party. 'Infected adults maintain or accelerate normal host activity during sporulation, enabling rapid and widespread dispersal prior to host death,' Kasson said. 'They also engage in hypersexual behaviors.' 」

Perhaps the origin of the English insult,「eat shit and die, motherfucker.」

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.
