Meanings of elements

JUXTAPOSED ORIFICES with EMISSIONS
…or: ORIFICE, MOUTH, CAVITY OR PASSAGE OF THE BODY, AN OPENING and EMPHATIC MODIFIER, FREE, ONLY JUST SIMPLY, NOW

「Emphasis on orifice only」or「mouth with orifice emissions」expresses INTIMACY and TO SIT UPON as in the expression「to be sitting on another's face」that also expresses ONLY this and nothing else, doing FREELY. See 攱 and 凳 with the same pronunciations and general meaning.
Many, if not most, anthropologists understand that bonobos today exhibit the behavior of early humans, and modern humans, too:
「Sometimes females would rather GG-rub [genital-to-genital] with each other than copulate with a male. Parish filmed a 15-minute scene at a bonobo colony at the San Diego Wild Animal Park in which a male, Vernon, repeatedly solicited two females, Lisa and Loretta. Again and again he arched his back and displayed his erect penis—the bonobo request for sex. The females moved away from him, tactfully turning him down until they crept behind a tree and GG-rubbed with each other.」

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.
