As GINSENG, suggests the supposed benefits of aphrodisia, as an herbal stimulant, and remedy for sexual dysfunction in men to enable PARTICIPATE in COPULATION WITH A SHRINE GIRL. Formerly included three「tongue in mouth」elements (曑) as many panting and drooling clients, or the tonguing mouths of many service providers in one location, surrounding「person with black glossy bush hair」(Asians, such as the Chinese, generally have naturally black body hair). Referred to exceptionally gorgeous, goddess-like DIVINE FEMALE(S) working as service providers in SHRINES, TEMPLES operated by a shaman:
「Ginseng is often referred to as the King of all herbs, and is found to be a promising agent to improve general well-being. Ginseng has also been reputed as an aphrodisiac, and is used to treat sexual dysfunction as well as to enhance sexual behavior in traditional Chinese medical practices. Data from animal studies have shown a positive correlation among ginseng, libido, and copulatory performances, and these effects have been confirmed in case-control studies in human. In addition, ginseng is found to improve the sperm quality and count of healthy individuals as well as patients with treatment-related infertility. These actions are mostly attributed to ginsenosides, the major pharmacological active components of ginseng. This review compiles the current knowledge about the multifaceted effects of ginseng on male reproductive function, and also focuses on its mechanisms of action that may represent novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of male reproductive diseases or disorders.」

Three tonguing mouths naturally morphed into three「loose and dripping, stinky」identifying them as distinctly male SUITORS, surrounding the shrine's working girls like flies around sweet deer guano. Attractive, beautiful, goddess-like women with glossy hair flocked by suitors COMING AND GOING all the time to VISIT THE SHRINE WHERE THESE DIVA GODDESSES were working and offered for short-term rentals. The suitors themselves CRAZY IN LOVE, PARTICIPATING in the quest, but most of them BEING DEFEATED, QUITTING and GIVING UP, or DYING from some infection.
Also used as「three」in legal documents for its complexity to prevent fraud by changing a simpler numerical kanji into a different simple numerical kanji representing a different value.

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.
