「Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's bound feet.」
[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_binding 2012-12-17 ]
Bound and no-longer-integrated feet that maintained symmetry were prized much more than two feet on the same person that appeared grossly different, since the latter case was a constant reminder of the fact that the person purchased was monstrously crippled for life, mangled only so that her owner could enjoy sexual pleasure,…and no one enjoys a guilt trip, especially if it is deserved. When two no-longer-integrated feet maintained symmetry, placing them together heel-to-heel uncannily resembled a tiny buttocks, complete with anus. Note that these elements also strongly resemble the glyph meaning「meat, mooning」⺼ to which this glyph is related. Rump meat consists of two ALIKE, UNIFORM SHAPE AND CONSISTENCY, EVENLY DISTRIBUTED buttocks, the same as a matched set of no-longer-integrated feet meat in dynastic China.

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?
(More...)
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.
