Meanings of elements
FIRM GRASP WITH BOTH HANDS HOLDING TIGHT, REACHING FOR SOMETHING and ROD of CROTCH
…or: FULL INSERTION INTO CAVITY WITH TWO SETS OF LIPS and RECIPROCATING ROD MOTION VERTICALLY with CROTCH ONCE AGAIN, ONE MORE TIME, THIS OR THAT, YIELD BOTH OF THEM, FURTHER AND MORE, FURTHERMORE
「Two hands reaming with rod in crotch」may be providing assistance to an ELDERLY person attempting to RELIEVE an exceptionally severe case of constipation:
「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%.」
[ link now-dead was https://www.stayregularnow.com/how-to-find-relief-constipation-in-the-elderly.html 2011-05-25 so see instead https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4325863/ ]
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.

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.
