Similar to today's saloon bouncers, or a roaming patrolling brute squad carrying nightsticks, cudgels, truncheons, clubs, maces, crowbars and so on to enforce「respectable intercourse.」Service providers (mostly preteen-aged girls with no-longer-integrated feet) were in no position, literally, to defend themselves or to make certain that a client respected the prior agreed upon contractual terms and the posted general rules of engagement of the establishment without exceeding the limits…not that exceeding any limit was necessarily frowned upon by the shaman, just as long as the appropriate fees had been prepaid.
Words that ought to be respected for one's own good,「respect the words」with meaning from both perspectives, which are speaking respectfully to someone (cautiously, as to someone in authority such as the police), and, someone else speaking respectfully to you (giving you a caution or warning, admonishment for your own good). And while that interpretation does sound good, the literal elements restated may tell all:「underaged girl as a seduction trap will incite intercourse」so take CAUTION, WARNING, BE ADMONISHED, feel REPROACHED if so entrapped, and know that someone will eventually call the POLICE:「forcing a prepubescent girl's orifices after falling into a seduction trap with intercourse」is jailbait and can get you life in the hoosgow (only recently though, and not in the「good」old days of China), so take CAUTION, WARNING, BE ADMONISHED, feel REPROACHED.
Alternatively, back in the good ol' days, the POLICE with almighty power could at any time take advantage of a「prepubescent girl's orifices tense for a long time gasping in forced intercourse.」…perhaps during the slow times (if any) within the shaman's palace of prostitution, or in a city street, or on a country road, and so on. And, refers to an inspection station as glans intimidation where a brute squad of government enforcers and soldiers are in action to MONITOR and POLICE a raised wall and patrol a special administrative district within a town or city, a zone or city quarter with a gateway as a checkpoint and inspection station to restrict entry, a self-contained city area as a separate community having its own specialized business establishments that cater to a specific kind or class of patron, but also its own local laws, government regulations, customs, and even language at times that apply within an administrative division at the local government level, patrolled by police or the lord's army: the brothel district.

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.
