Meanings of elements

MAN, MEN, CHINESE MALES with AN EDIBLE BEAN, A BEAN WORTH EATING, YOUNG UNCLE, CLOSE MALE RELATIVE, BROTHER-IN-LAW, SIBLING, ANYONE'S YOUNGER BROTHER, LEARNING A LESSON OF SOME SORT
…or: CROTCH ONCE AGAIN, ONE MORE TIME, THIS OR THAT, YIELD BOTH OF THEM FURTHER AND MORE with FLUID and with ANYONE'S YOUNGER BROTHER, YOUNG UNCLE
…or: FLUIDS of SMALL STREAM UP CROTCH
…or: FLUIDS in UPPER CROTCH with SMALL STREAM of EMISSIONS, CROTCH BEAN POD, UPPER PORTION of MONS PUBIS

Combining these elements as「flow of a little water tossed up by hand into crotch」is a GRACEFUL gesture of FEMININE MODESTY to cleanse themselves after urinating, or other use of the genitals. In modern Japan, most LAVAtories today are equipped with a washlet bidet using heated water built into the heated seat ring for this purpose.「Fluid flow with crotch bean pod」suggests GRACEFUL FEMININE MODESTY by simply performing the task herself of achieving satisfaction rather than fornicating with others. Fornicating with one's husband's brothers was, and is, commonplace…in many older societies it was rude for a wife not to sleep with her husband's brother when visiting…FEMININE MODESTY, being a GRACEFUL host and hostess, dictated「flows with brother(s) as peas from the same pod.」But if so, behave GRACEFULLY during those encounters and exercise FEMININE MODESTY…at least she isn't out hawking and flashing herself as would a carnival barker at a geek circus while walking the streets in search of a stranger in the night, which apparently was sufficient in China to qualify as exercising FEMININE MODESTY. Either that achievement had a fairly low standard in dynastic China, or, this is more sarcastic humor from the sages.
　「Viewing women as commodities [see 品] was also made customary from Song Dynasty (960 - 1279) forward, both in the suddenly expanded labor market and within relationships. Men could sell their female kin to slavery or prostitution, and frequently did.」

　「Bound feet were a mark of beauty…. Women, their families, and [her owner] took great pride in tiny feet, with the ideal length, called the 'Golden Lotus,' being about 7 cm (2.75 inches) long. …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 bound feet.」

　「In traditional Chinese medicine, there has never been a mental disease called pedophilia (or an equivalent term), or homosexuality, or most of the other so-called sexual variations for that matter. …Children are usually described as natural sexual beings and erotic stimulation and sex-play are seen as beneficial to their healthy development.」

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.
