GOVERNING CONTROL, MANAGEMENT TACTICS, GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS were ordered BY LAW and enforced during endemic outbreaks of sexually transmitted diseases in the attempt to stem the tide. Infected people were forced to wear a codpiece and loincloth to prevent contagious dripping in public places, and undergo treatment by reaming with a bougie, again and again until symptoms abated. Official records were maintained of the treatment results to enable tracing of an outbreak or resurgence, and shaman brute squads enforced the laws under government authority, going door to door when the need arose (see: 'magistrate, authority' 尹 and 津).
Alternatively, it should be no surprise that audiences of humans have enjoyed viewing erotic「performances on stage」much longer than since the dawn of the Internet, or even the motion picture film industry:「foot motions on stage, on a raised platform」will continue WHILE, UNTIL one performer has SEIZED the other contestant and a「big discharge occurs」to the delight of the audience (眙), not unlike the original samurai-sumō wrestling long ago performed on raised compacted sandy soil platforms (坮)
「From religious circles [Buddhists], same-sex love spread to the warrior (samurai) class, where it was customary for a boy in the wakashū age category to undergo training in the martial arts by apprenticing to a more experienced adult man. The man was permitted, if the boy agreed, to take the boy as his lover until he came of age. This relationship, often formalized in a 'brotherhood contract,' was expected to be exclusive, with both partners swearing to take no other (male) lovers.

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)

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?

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.
