It was essential that the external surface of a JADE TOOL was polished to SMOOTH PERFECTION in order to avoid any type of discomfort. A tapered tip and flanged base enabling multiple subduction re-entry into a type of soil being heated and compressed. BEING ON HIGHER GROUND than the surroundings (due to compacting by layers of soil…? more likely, being 'situated above the fecal matter'). Or, being BETTER THAN those in the surrounding area…recall that the nobility worldwide lived atop hills, that is to say again: being 'situated above the fecal matter' as their opinion figuratively of serfs, and literally of fertilized farm fields and animals.
Chinese sources explain this glyph,「night soil, doubled」as a tapered, jade BUTTOCKS PLUG flanged at the base to avoid accidental but temporary loss of the tool while engaged. Two「anal night soil」elements depict that first the butt plug is inserted into the anus, and then subsequently upon complete relaxation, the butt plug is removed and replaced by a male phallus:「…designed to be inserted in the anus and rectum for sexual pleasure. In some ways, they are similar to a dildo, but they tend to be shorter, and must have a flanged end to prevent the device from being lost inside the rectum. They are primarily worn for a short period of time to prepare the anus for anal sex, stretching and relaxing the sphincter muscles to comfortably accept a penis or other penetrative device.」

On the standard scale of prudishness, with 0 as 'not at all' and 5 as 'extreme,' the ancient Chinese rated -12.

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.
