「Palming」as grabbing ahold of「lame stinky feet」「for copulating」was clearly FILLING A ROLE OR POSITION for the purpose of SATISFYING, by SUBSTITUTING feet for the natural orifice. Such a person was literally FURNISHED to lords, guests, clients and buddies as a sex object. By the 19th century, 40-50% of Chinese women had bound feet, but initially, only a select few young girls were ALLOCATED or RATIONED to become so. The process of foot binding changed the girl into a sex machine of living meat, since without the ability to stand and walk, she was useful for little else, nevertheless with the ability to provide FULL and SUFFICIENT satisfaction sexually, as a highly trained expert. Yet, most wealthy males can't have just one (not unlike fried potato slices), and normally would purchase a small bevy of concubines as a harem, causing him to ALLOCATE his time, RATIONING his strength and attention to each concubine in fairness to all as a way to help maintain order by mitigating internal rivalries and jealousy that otherwise ran rampant among the harem member meat assets…after all, the only thing that they all now lived for was to please their owner.
With some disagreement for various reasons that are mostly related to the literal elements, it ought to be mentioned some scholars explain that the top element was formerly the glyph for child (子) written upside-down, and refers to a BLUE STILLBORN CHILD, true or not, you decide.
「Upside-down child with lame legs for copulation」easily describes new concubines with bound feet who were collected by males…in China they started such a life while still fairly tender, from age two to five years or so, as children learning the sex trade. Describes an adult male using the feet of that child for masturbation whilst raising her legs, likely by placing her nearly standing on her head and shoulders due to her very small size: see each of the published meanings for this glyph to understand just how this scenario will fit each and every one of the listed meanings.
「Viewing women as commodities [see 品] was also made customary from Song Dynasty (960 - 1279) forward, both in the suddenly expanded labor market and within relationships. Men could sell their female kin to slavery or prostitution, and frequently did.」

「Bound feet were a mark of beauty…. Women, their families, and [her owner] took great pride in tiny feet, with the ideal length, called the 'Golden Lotus,' being about 7 cm (2.75 inches) long. …The process was started before the arch of the foot had a chance to develop fully, usually between the ages of 2 and 5. …Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's bound feet.」

「In traditional Chinese medicine, there has never been a mental disease called pedophilia (or an equivalent term), or homosexuality, or most of the other so-called sexual variations for that matter. …Children are usually described as natural sexual beings and erotic stimulation and sex-play are seen as beneficial to their healthy development.」

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.
