「While constipation is a problem for people of all ages, it has a much higher incidence among the elderly, and it is hard to find relief. Constipation rates in seniors (over 65 years of age) are around 30%.」

Note that while this glyph may indeed be depicting the insertion anally of sticks or other implements in an attempt to relieve constipated bowels, this is one trick you should not try at home by yourself due to risk of perforating a colon.
Alternatively, some suggest:「two hands holding a rod」or cane, stick to assist with walking, with「crotch」and legs apart: as an OLD PERSON. Often an elderly person must walk with feet spread and stooped over somewhat, perhaps due to a curved spine and arthritis with osteoporosis.
Needless to point out is the fact that for many of the elderly, the only form of available sexual outlet remaining for both males and females is the use of a「firmly grasped rod in crotch」to FEEL RELIEVED.
Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: old gentleman; old man
Unihan extended: old man; elder
EDRDG: old person
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.
