TREE SAME

…or: WOODY and RECIPROCAL HORIZONTAL ROD MOTIONS in VAGINA

Refers to the t'ung yu tree in China, or, the paulownia tree in Japan, using the elements「tree」and「same」because, after cutting down a paulownia for timber, the tree will regenerate and grow again from the「same」root system as the cut wood, useful for intercropping and to prevent soil erosion.
　「The Tung tree is poisonous in all of its parts, including the fruit and the seeds, although some parts of the tree have been used for medicinal purposes in the past. According to one university website, just one seed from the fruit can be fatal, and other symptoms may include vomiting, diarrhea, and slowed breathing. The leaves can also give a rash similar to that from poison ivy.」
　　[　https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernicia_fordii 2015-02-28　]　
　Perhaps「woodies all the same」but more specifically,「woody arrayed with reciprocating motions in vagina」may refer also to the toxicity of the t'ung yu paulownia tree, and the potential spread of infection, if not general woe. Most women know that dildo use will result in a decrease in desire for an actual penis, which for males, perhaps, could be considered toxic to the relationship. Even if dildoes are taken away, 'the wood will regenerate and grow again from the same root system,' as it were, and in that sense,「vagina with woody rod inside are all the same.」

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.
