Meanings of elements
(many, many) ORIFICES, JUXTAPOSED ORIFICES in all positions
「Many orifices」referring to a large group of service providers (of either or both sexes) as THE MERCHANDISE, becoming a FUNGIBLE COMMODITY item, GOODS, a daily-need PRODUCT or SERVICE. As「the three orifices」being a「mouth orifice」above「two juxtaposed orifices」below this glyph seemingly also refers to the multiple「natural-born」connection sites of a single female individual as THE GOODS, again equating her portals with a COMMODITY PRODUCT or SERVICE (the three natural-born orifices of a female body exclude those formed within no-longer-integrated feet). While admittedly not the safest of practices, experiencing「many orifices」enables judgement and ranking by relative QUALITY. Further meanings are decidedly related to human characteristics, (and not stacked boxes as some scholars insist) and/or relating to the size of the orifice: character, disposition, nature, temperament, variety, to taste, to sample, to criticize, to comment, to judge, to size up, and so forth. Note the English semblance among the words「commode」and「commodities」that both related directly to orifices as fungible, that is to say, one orifice may be just as good, or as bad, as another, with the referent to commodious as its archaic meanings of「suitable and convenient.」…sometimes ewe lambs were not always available, and when in such a pinch, the「commode orifice」of a buddy would suffice in dynastic China almost as well: read all the given external source definitions and then decide if this glyph does not refer to human beings as「commodities.」
「Viewing women as commodities [see 品] was also made customary from Song Dynasty (960 - 1279) forward, both in the suddenly expanded labor market and within relationships. Men could sell their female kin to slavery or prostitution, and frequently did.」

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.
