「Sun with clear blue」as in a blue sky refers to good, fair, CLEAR weather. Normally, the Sun is not visible during cloudy, rainy, or snowy weather conditions…yet the Sun is not often visible at night either, which accounts for half of all time (on average) and half of the Earth at any moment, no matter how overcast the sky may be in a location, so this interpretation of the elements may be slightly lacking.
Original elements as the「day of a virgin's deflowering」(靑) might well describe the other meanings of CLEAR AWAY that cloudy membrane, OPEN UP, OPENLY, PUBLICLY, being CLEARED OF SUSPICION of prior use, and so on.
「Tonguing mouth undefiled with prick meat」may OPEN a relationship or CLEAR UP some sort of congestion otherwise, and the fellatrix may be able to attest to the client being CLEARED OF SUSPICION of having an infection. In that case, CLEARING refers to no more drops dripping from the loose and dripping, stinky cloud (云) after the infection has CLEARED UP.「Speaking about one's prick meat」OPENLY and PUBLICLY when no longer do stains permeate the front of one's pants.

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.
