「Soil」with「proper policy」describes shaping the flow of rivers or irrigation channels with a system of DIKES, LEVEES, EMBANKMENTS and DAMS.
「Ground, soil, earth」with「person kneeling and sitting back on heels in the proper position to be sucking fluids」to depict the general shape of an earthen DAM, LEVEE, DIKE, EMBANKMENT that resembles the fellatrix sitting on her heels, wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, with the concept of overflow discharge near the mouth to release excess accumulations of pent-up fluid behind a dam as it gushes from a sluice gate.
「Feces, night soil」with「erotic in female role, rod raised atop person」suggests creating a SOIL EMBANKMENT by anally shafting someone else 'in the female role,' known in the vernacular as 'packing fudge' for obvious reasons, by pushing in fecal matter within the confines of the colon to create an internal DAM-like DIKE some inches from the anal sphincter.

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.
