Obviously,「head, dammed flow, sliding of a woody rod」with anything alive but「immature」might easily become BLOODIED, especially if the chosen orifice is still a bit too small to physically stretch sufficiently in order to permit entry of a thickly girthed woody stump, leaving torn hymenal tissue tags, ripped anal sphincters, and/or a ruptured perineum in its wake. Note that these same elements sadly can apply to a very young lamb,「head in ewe」as well as to a human meat asset (妹). These same pasty, reddish-brown, smeared conditions might result also due to a simple lack of care in applying some proactive lubricant prior to penetration, perhaps due to the carelessness of an overzealous owner when breaking in a new arrival, primate or ovine.
「Prostrate with woody」describes the same conditions as mentioned above, or, someone who is quite ill, and oozing BLOODY pasty discharges while unable to become erect, unable to stand. Wood with the main trunk (本) dammed, internally scarred, or just plain severed.
Unlikely, but a「person prostrate」with a「tree」lying on top suggests that the tree fell upon and crushed the lumberjack who was engaged in cutting down the tree, who is now a squashed BLOODY PASTE, a greasy spot on the forest floor, maggot viands.

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.
