In some societies,「to emit winks」perhaps as some sort of sexual allurement or signal of immediate willingness to copulate may DEVALUE one's stature in the eyes of onlookers. Various sources advise one not to wink in Japan, although that seems to be changing somewhat with young folks and advertisements.
「Wealth meager, scarce」is decreasing in value. CENSURE and CRITICIZE suggests using one's「wealth to rent or purchase fleshpots, repeatedly schtupping (ejaculation into a birth canal or other attainable orifice) no-longer-integrated feet until tired out.」…or, to look down one's nose upon street-walkers during their hustling work sessions.
「Goal of emissions while repeatedly bobbing with no-longer-integrated feet」suggests CENSURE and CRITICISM due to prostituting oneself for a living.「Goal of emissions while repeatedly bobbing with taut spring-like actions」suggests CENSURE and CRITICISM after a guy is spotted jerking-off in selfie mode.
「In China…, winking may be seen as an offensive or at least an impolite gesture. This is demonstrated in the commotion caused by Sarah Palin in a number of Asian countries during the 2008 vice presidential debate, where she winked several times while debating Joe Biden. When Frederick Spencer Chapman was training Chinese guerillas in Malaya to shoot rifles, he found that a large proportion of them were unable to close only one eye at a time. However, winking…can be used to signal an 'inside' joke, a sly gesture shared between two people privately, unbeknownst to those around them, as in a social gathering. It can also be a naughty 'come on' by a girl to a boy or vice versa.」

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.
