「Enclosed, sealed off」around「rod down and pulled out of shape to one side within a cycle, number of occurrences」suggest being ISOLATED, in QUARANTINE, or blacklisted from the brothels due to repeated gonorrhea infections.
「Rod with foot」of「sex slave, captured orifice, count of number of occurrences」plainly describes the practice of using no-longer-integrated feet of young females by shamans in dynastic China for generating revenue from male clients seeking pleasure without the risk of his meat being bitten off or mangled, while mitigating the risk of transference of harmful pathogens via mucous membranes, keeping her sex slaves IMPRISONED. As depicted in erotic Chinese art, men in dynastic China masturbated by wrapping no-longer-integrated feet around an erect penis:「Bound feet were once considered intensely erotic in Chinese culture. …The process was started before the arch of the foot had a chance to develop fully, usually between the ages of 2 and 5. …Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's [no-longer-integrated] bound feet」(after removing the binding cloths, of course)

「Five within captured orifice」is also suggestive of liberties taken by other prisoners, or offered to other prisoners, and guards too for that matter, with someone JAILED.
The one「enclosure」we all want to「resist, evade」is PRISON. A JAIL clearly is an「enclosure that resists」personal I-me-my liberty. Inmates of a prison, as「mating in」one's privates, have been known the world over and in every culture throughout history to take turns cycling through another individual's orifice, as if being penetrated by「five within cockrings.」Any orifice after「five cockrings」might feel imprisoned…is that why those places are called PENAL COLONIES? (literally, 'colon pain' describing a place where one experiences pain in one's ass).

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.
