Chinese zodiac sign for COCK, COCKEREL with elements of「array of copulations, unstable stance」while「atop orifice」in「lateral motions」as a rooster might be inclined to do with a yard full of hens, or a man might be inclined to do after drinking ALCOHOL and himself becoming COCKY. Note that the manner in which chickens copulate is normally with the rooster hopping on top of the hen's hind end in an「unstable stance」as the hen often runs around some during copulation, and the cock may literally fall off her ass. Furthermore, the cock's hens often have two bald spots on each side of the tail where the cock's feet and constant mounting to copulate have caused all the feathers to be pulled from the skin, with these elements as「bald, tipsy in array of orifice.」
　「Cock, a doodle do」is an English nursery rhyme that describes, literally,「aimlessly passing time doing (i.e., doodling, as in「to kill time by diddling」) one's cock.」…think about that a while, and consider how it relates to morning erections and rapid-eye-movement while dreaming. …During the human era when most folks actually had chickens in the yard, most folks knew that cocks copulate at least as often as horses masturbate. Can there be any relationship between cocks and chicks as used in vernacular English? flipping someone the bird? whistling through a pecker? peckerwood? a bird as English slang for a young girl or woman?
　Only 3% of bird species have any semblance of a penis or phallus, and perhaps the most common domesticated bird in China is a chicken, hence the term COCK was applied to the male human and his 'penis' due to some obvious similarities:「The rooster has a small phallus that becomes engorged with lymph to form a copulatory organ. The copulatory organ is rudimentary and at the time of mating there is practically no penetration.」

　The elements are also「stupidity in a container」as it refers to a rooster with just one aim in mind, and figuratively to a man who behaves like a rooster searching for hens, perhaps after imbibing from the wine jar just a bit, or just a bit too much:「A rooster may mate from 10 to 30 or more times per day, depending on the availability of hens and competition from other roosters.」

　A WINE JAR that scholars suggest is only partially filled, and that may be the case as with any jar of good wine, but more likely this jar is depicted as containing shōkōshu, which is a type of Chinese wine made from whole grains of rice containing lees that settle over time (the lower portion in this glyph). With a very dark brown color, shōkōshu literally means「beckoning arousal alcohol」(紹興酒), although why exactly is for you to imagine.

　「…many people, unfortunately, feel shame around masturbation, despite the fact that 98% of people will masturbate at some point.」　[　https://www.health.com/mind-body/health-diversity-inclusion/autosexual-meaning 2022-12-13　]　
　Without a doubt, the Irish also have knowledge of their own to pass along in these trying times:「Masturbation will not spread coronavirus, especially if you wash your hands (and any sex toys) with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after.」Nonetheless and regrettably, unlike in dynastic China, it must be undertaken alone to truly be a preventative countermeasure but still achieve the desired result with some degree of safety.

　The Dutch, too have the same solution—it seems masturbation has become mainstream in the media the world over due to the coronavirus (it has always been 'the main stream' in reality, albeit covertly for most folks):
　「'Don't have sex with your partner if they have been isolated because of (suspected) coronavirus infection,' the RVIM says. 'Sex with yourself or with others at a distance is possible (think of telling erotic stories, masturbating together).'」

　Needless to point out perhaps, but Chinese shamans from antiquity hit upon the same solution as a pandemic preventative countermeasure, honed for ultimate client satisfaction by utilizing naked females with no-longer-integrated feet as masturbatory sex buddies available for short-term rental with erotic visualization of live prepubescent female genitalia engaging in autoerotic stimulation herself, as a solution to the same problem facing us now, but in pre-Internet days.
