Related to the English expression MEAT RACK, and the reference to female breasts as such a RACK, and to a POLE SUSPENDED BETWEEN TWO POINTS as occurs during mammary intercourse, furthering the MILKMAID'S YOKE meaning.
「Adding wood」a piece at a time to a structure means to construct the FRAMING. Or, as in traditional fonts, the additional power or strength obtained by augmenting stiff but lightweight「hemp stalk」framing to a structure, likely roofs over pit holes at first, and may have been constructed of actual cannabis stalks and leaves that are naturally coated with a sticky resin to hold together and help keep out rain (朩)「array of streaming with downward emissions.」

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.
