Note that the English usage of 'hard' to mean 'difficult' originated with some material being hard and therefore difficult to use due to stuff located within a compacted and constipated anus associated with a crotch or a body in a state of rigor mortis…or both for that matter, and/or coagulation, clotting and hardening, material difficult to penetrate or difficult to pass material through one's urethra without significant pain and burning.
「Enclosed screwing hole」may refer to a stubborn clitoral-vaginal pudendum, or to HARDENED, CLOTTED and semi-dried gleet that oozed all night long, forming a seed hull-like enclosure covering the penile meatus by the next morning as it filled the foreskin sheath, such as「old crap enclosed inside foreskin cavity」(same thing happens to cocks: Internet search「avian gleet」for full-color images).
「Enclosed in penis foreskin cavity, or, screwing orifice」may well have referred to SMEGMA as well:「a sebaceous secretion, especially the cheesy secretion that collects under the prepuce or around the clitoris」

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.
