Meanings of elements
STONES against FLESH SEAM
…or: ROCK and CRAFT AND SKILL NECESSARY TO PERFORM A JOB, PLANNING, TRADING ONE THING FOR ANOTHER
Large stones or「rocks skillfully placed with craft」can form a walkway or stepping stones. A small bridge can be fashioned with the weight of the large stones literally each「pinching together」with the rock on one side touching the other, forming a「closed seam.」
「Testicles skillfully placed with craft」in horizontal motion of person standing with in-and-out side-to-side or「stones with flesh seam」were also likened to a client's testicles banging against the side of a no-longer-integrated foot or some other flesh seam while in use, with that scene of「rocks on one side, flesh seam on the other」forming a HARD BRIDGE shape via the connecting shaft, and the no-longer-integrated foot making repeated rhythmical contact with those testicular rocks, as if STEPPING UPON THE STONES.

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.
