Meanings of elements

SPURTING STANCE with ROD in a CAVERN CLEAN and BEYOND NORMAL ABILITIES
…or: CAVE with TWO CONCURRENT COMBINED, HESITATE

「Cavern and multiple shaftings」perhaps refers to visiting a sexual and/or medical services provider with your buddy and negotiating a volume discount as MODEST, LOW-PRICED, one client for each foot in use concurrently, or, obtaining multiple types of service in one session for one low, low price after HONESTLY explaining the situation to the proprietor.
Elements as「cavern of prostitution, unable, hesitate」refers to someone HONEST, UPRIGHT, with INTEGRITY who would rather wrangle sheep than frequent a hooker, presumably as the praiseworthy and recommended course of action, or simply giving himself and his buddy an autoerotic selfie while saving his hard-earned money as MODEST, LOW-PRICED. Perhaps just watching while standing against the wall after forking out a MODEST fee.
All joking aside,「beyond normal abilities」with「spurting shaft」and「bougie reamer」describes efforts to maintain as much as possible a disease-free environment, a clean cave, HONEST, UPRIGHT, with INTEGRITY…albeit one with plenty of pain, a「cave of hesitation」to enter that provides medical services to the sexually infected: THE CLINIC…given meaning of SHARED SIDE WITH A NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE relates to hearing screams emanating from within those walls, and initially saving on construction costs by simply adding on to one's neighboring wall (if you've never been to Asia, you may find this difficult to believe).
INCORRUPTIBLE seems to stem from the elements as「palming control of head erection with two simultaneously」suggesting an intimate sexual partnership in which one mate only does stuff with the other.

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.
