Meanings of elements
KING and IN DEMAND
…or: KING with emphasis on ROD in STICKY FLUIDS
「King」with a「great demand」meaning BALLS, SPHERICAL, a ROUND GLOBE, BULBOUS shape, possibly but not necessarily the testicles which for most of us are not perfectly spherical. Scholars suggest this glyph refers to BEN-WA balls of jade used to entertain females that had been painstakingly carved and polished into spherical shapes by coating with sticky substances to enable holding them in a squeezing grip…most any shape other than SPHERICAL would have been easier to produce and in less time.「King with array of sticky fluids always in demand」as his DRIPS, DROPLETS, BEADS of ejaculate provided by FEMALE ENTERTAINERS.
 PEARLS and the source of pearl used in Chinese euphemistically to represent DRIPS, DROPLETS, BEADS of ejaculated semen, that「small amount, 3/5 of an ounce ()」as droplets and smeared inside shells as mother-of-pearl, the source of motherhood inside the walls of a cavity with two sets of lips such as clams and oysters (see , the goal of emissions).

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: ball; sphere; globe; ball game; match
Japanese: sphere, counter for balls, globe, orb, bead, drop, droplet, pile, bullet, bulb, lens, gem, jewel, pearl, female entertainer, precious, beautiful, excellent

Used within names (nanori)

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.
