A「person in motion again and again to receive essential medical treatments」exhibits DETERMINATION, the STRENGTH TO CONTINUE and should appear HEALTHY.
A「person coming and going while erect again and again」has good posture, someone who appears HEALTHY and exhibits the STRENGTH TO CONTINUE. Someone who remains erect has not fallen over ill, or doubled over due to being pierced by an arrow, or osteoporosis, or the pox, or some other misfortune. Someone who「achieves straight up erections coming and going, again and then again.」…quite literally, the shape of an erection may indicate its healthiness or illness, since gonorrhea and other such diseases can cause scar tissue to form within the urethra:「Peyronie's Disease,…also known as 'Induratio penis plastica,' or more recently 'Chronic Inflammation of the Tunica Albuginea (CITA),' is a connective tissue disorder involving the growth of fibrous plaques in the soft tissue of the penis affecting up to 10% of men. Specifically, scar tissue forms in the tunica albuginea, the thick sheath of tissue surrounding the corpora cavernosa causing pain, abnormal curvature, erectile dysfunction, indentation, loss of girth and shortening. …The disease may cause pain. Hardened, big, cord-like lesions (scar tissue known as 'plaques'). Or abnormal curvature of the penis when erect due to chronic inflammation of the tunica albuginea (CITA). Although the popular conception of Peyronie's Disease is that it always involves curvature of the penis, the scar tissue sometimes causes divots or indentations rather than curvature. The condition may also make sexual intercourse painful and/or difficult…」

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.
