Some suggest elements describe amputation of the penis for various causes: right element in Chinese (see related glyph 絕) was formerly not「colorful sex」but rather「ream, sever」over「penis in a sex hole vortex.」Nevertheless,「ejaculation with color」does also suggest a bloody or pus-laden discharge along with semen, symptoms that required castration as the treatment of last resort: TO CUT CLEANLY, SEVER COMPLETELY.
May have referred to using a sword to cut free a human fetus or a non-human animal during an otherwise impossible birth. A「sword cutting」into a「vagina」as an ancient episiotomy, a surgical incision of the perineum to enlarge the vagina and so facilitate delivery during childbirth by CUTTING SHORT, CUTTING CLEAN the natural delivery, or, as a symphysiotomy and cutting the pubic bone (that bone matter within the mons pubis) in half, SEVER COMPLETELY INTO TWO PARTS, splitting into「two sides」by CLEAVING, SPLITTING OPEN the mother's birth canal and at times, also the infant's head:
「Before the Caesarean section technique was available, if labor failed to progress because the head of the fetus was too large, the mother's symphysis pubis was cut and the skull of the fetus was crushed.」

Clearly not a desirable situation for anyone concerned, ABSOLUTELY NOT, BY NO MEANS, that is UNSPEAKABLE.

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.
