广

ゲン,× widespread behavior of humans in caves, early human habitations, a cave of wonder

　emphasis on HAND

予

⺕,シャ,あらかじ to give to another, I myself, prior, occur in advance, plenty, surplus, to manifest, to express and induce a desired effect, to express oneself fully and unreservedly, lordosis position

　ON ALL FOURS and ROLLED BACK with STREAM
　

Meanings of elements

PALMING CONTROL of ERECTION and KNEELING ON ALL FOURS with ROLLING STREAM
…or: CAVERN, CAVES AS EARLY HUMAN HABITATIONS, WIDESPREAD BEHAVIOR OF CAVEMEN, CAVE OF WONDER and PRIOR, OCCUR IN ADVANCE, PLENTY, SURPLUS, I MYSELF, TO GIVE TO ANOTHER, TO MANIFEST, TO EXPRESS ONESELF FULLY AND UNRESERVEDLY, LORDOSIS POSITION

Most likely, elements individually as「palming control of head」on「erection」with「I, myself」and then「kneeling on all fours over rolling stream」also as AN OPPORTUNITY, but more so as the PREFACE to the following PROPER SEQUENCE OF EVENTS and the ORDER of development.
A「selfie prior to the cave o' wonders」as the PREFACE to the activities to come tends to increase one's stamina, as was more fully depicted by Ted Stroehmann in There's Something About Mary.
「Lordosis position within cavern」may refer to the tribal home, or a visit to the cave o' wonders…in any case, OCCURS FIRST, AN OPPORTUNITY THAT PRESENTS ITSELF, the PROPER SEQUENCE OF EVENTS: after returning from the day's hunting, first schtupping (ejaculation into a birth canal or other attainable orifice), after which supper can be prepared and consumed. The evening meat(s).
「Myself」within a「cavern」and「prior to」the present time, perhaps is indicative of the place from which human beings began 'civilized' communities and society. PREFACED, LAYING THE FOUNDATIONS as the PROPER ORDER of development.「In advance」of any opportunity to depart the communal「cavern」one must lay the foundations by taking steps in the proper order.

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.
