Elements literally describe a person sold into sex slavery, a「swine's, dog's offspring」or「hairy animal with emerging shafts plugging orifices」or the use of an effeminate male human. Swine pigs serve into the rectum of others, also without any religious compunctions. Cats and the guy on the bottom are all excellent examples of lordosis behavior before and during copulation:「Lordosis behavior, or mammalian lordosis, is a physical sexual posture seen in female mammals, including humans,…the primary characteristic of which is a ventral arching of the spine [a swayback with protruding anus and vagina from behind]. During lordosis, the spine curves…during the mating process, both pre-copulation or during copulation. It may be seen as an invitation to mate. Lordosis aids in copulation, as it elevates the hips to allow for intercourse. It is commonly seen in female animals during estrus. It changes the pelvic tilt in an anterior way, with the posterior pelvis rising up, the bottom angling backward and the front angling downward. …[Walking with bound feet, and] when a human female wears high-heeled footwear the buttocks thrust out and the back arches into a pose that simulates lordosis behavior, which is why high heels are considered 'sexy.'」

A「tenacious short leg, emerging shafts from plugged orifice」(貓) refers to both sexes of CAT:「Female cats are seasonally polyestrous, which means they may have many periods of heat over the course of a year…. Heat periods occur about every two weeks and last about 4 to 7 days. Multiple males will be attracted to a female in heat. The males will fight over her, and the victor wins the right to mate. …The female will utter a loud yowl as the male pulls out of her. This is because a male cat's penis has a band of about 120–150 backwards-pointing penile spines, which are about one millimeter long. Upon withdrawal of the penis, the spines rake the walls of the female's vagina, which is a trigger for ovulation. This act also occurs to clear the vagina of other sperm in the context of a second (or more) mating, thus giving the later males a larger chance of conception. After mating, the female will wash her vulva thoroughly. If a male attempts to mate with her at this point, the female will attack him. After about 20 to 30 minutes, once the female is finished grooming, the cycle will repeat. Because ovulation is not always triggered by a single mating, females may not be impregnated by the first male with which they mate. Furthermore, cats are superfecund. That is, a female may mate with more than one male when she is in heat, with the result that different kittens in a litter may have different fathers.」

Perhaps the TWO-TAILED MONSTER reference is to a large pussy with two extending limbs with no feet capable of actual walking, but instead used as is the area around where a tail attaches to a torso, being a large piece of meat.
While not much is available in English regarding the flavor of cat meat, it may be compared favorably to that of swine: cats were (and are still) prized for their delicious, tender meat.「It is estimated that around 4 million cats are eaten in China each year, and that the number is rising. …The cat's stomach and intestines may be eaten, as well as meat from the thighs, which are turned into meatballs served with soup, with the head and the rest of the animal then thrown away. In Guangdong, cat meat is a main ingredient in the traditional dish 'dragon, tiger, phoenix' (snake, kitten, chicken), which is said to fortify the body. …In Japan, cat meat was consumed until the end of Tokugawa period in the 19th century…」

「Civet cats, anteater-like pangolins, bobcats, badgers, baby deer, squirrels, frogs, geese, bats, flying foxes, herons, cranes, sparrows, black beetles, turtles, pigeons, starfish, scorpions, caribou, monkeys, foxes, and raccoon dogs are all widely eaten in China. One common joke goes that the best job in China is a zookeeper. The sale of wild animals in the Guangzhou area alone is estimated to be around $100 million to $200 million a year. …Food made from wild animals have been a fixture of Chinese cooking for a long time. …The Chinese writer Ha Jin thought America had to be a rich country because, 'There were so many squirrels, and no one was trying to eat them.'…Some people say they prefer wild animals because they know they are fresh and not treated with chemicals. Since the 1990s, as incomes have risen, consumption rates of…wild animals has risen dramatically in China.」

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.
