PAY ATTENTION TO, GREAT CARE NEEDED, SHORT HAIRS, PUBIC PELT and ARRAYED, ROD with PAY A FEE OR FINE, CAUSE OF WEEPING, ASSETS, PROPERTY, WEALTH, TREASURE, REVENUE SOURCE
…or: WHISKERS PUBIC HAIR with SITTING PERSON WITH NO-LONGER-INTEGRATED FEET
…or: IN ALL CASES, MUST DO, OUGHT TO HAVE, ESSENTIAL AND NECESSARY with HERE, THIS ONE
「Pay a fine with emphasis on array of pubic hair」(beards are pubic hair, grown after reaching puberty): see 耐 as 'a squeezing grip on a beard' placed there to shave it off, an official form of punishment for minor criminals who committed misdemeanors. A beard was「necessary」(須) for every adult man in China, and not having one made a person look like a criminal, because without one it appeared to have been forcibly shaven as a punishment (yes, that reasoning is a bit circular, but there it is).
Needless to point out is that service providers who often swallow ejaculate (此「this one here」) are ingesting much larger than normal quantities of testosterone, hence they themselves tend to grow darker and heavier than average amounts of facial and other body hair (perhaps seen as「paying the fine」for doing so, or not). So today, some men who cruise for sex look for females with hairy forearms, since most women today do not want to be seen with too much facial hair of their own but hairy forearms are not as out of fashion. In Europe, some females flaunt armpits, another site where pubic hairs grow.

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.
