Meanings of elements

PRICK-TEASING with ROD
…or: REPEATEDLY ROD UP and ROD DOWN
…or: ARRAY of CAT-LIKE PAWING MOTIONS
…or: SLIDING HEAD of ROD UP and DOWN

A「prick-teasing」with「rod, array, one」all in the same location will cause the appearance of a swelled condition, a KNOLL, a small rounded hill or mound to appear under the loincloth of all the clients (see 邱)「repeatedly rod up and down.」Clearly, any sort of soil that is pushed「repeatedly with bobbing head of rods up and down」will form a BERM shape, a MOUND of compacted soil and one with a swale too, most likely.
「Array of cat-like pawing motions」resulting in bonus points awarded to the winning service provider at the end of a contest or a game (for details, see glyphs meaning 'contest, dispute' and 邛): the END OF THE GAME. Note that usage of this glyph as an element referring to BURIAL SITE often is suggestive of burying something in night soil, and not after death necessarily. Nevertheless, an「array of cat-like pawing motions」as the actions of BURYING something in a GRAVE of soil which results in a SMALL MOUND or BARROW, or is suggestive of the brothels as being the path to one's grave,「repeatedly rod up and down」with a「prick-teasing array.」Note that 小 also refers to a small mound, one most likely found on the front side of a young and small female youth as a BURIAL SITE, that is, the site in which to bury something.

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.
