「Words of religion」or from a「temple」were deemed by some sages as purely imaginative in origin, CREATIVE FICTIONS, IMAGINATION, and so this glyph perhaps was associated with POETRY and the POETIC license to dream anything (even heaven, afterlife, and god) and compose a poem about it, implying that religious「temple words」are also the same, a CREATIVE FICTION.
Needless to point out is that「intercourse with penis in squeezing grip」that was likely one's own hand also describes CREATIVE FICTIONS, IMAGINATION whilst self-pleasuring applicable to either sex.
More to the point was a reference to「oral sex as foreplay, temple of penis in squeezing hand, or, careful with that shit, Eugene」as another highly emotional experience and as such, the stuff poems and songs were and still are made of, being conducted in the「temple」perhaps with a large bevy of「singing girl」prostitutes specializing in sublime tonguing, such as is required while singing. Perhaps since the Buddhist temple denizens were under some social constraints to maintain the appearance of propriety, at least minimally,「oral sex as foreplay in the temple」could only be a CREATIVE IMAGINING of the priests and monks while reciting long prayers that most often resemble reciting POETRY using rhyme as a memory aid.
Note as well that the very first temples, as the very first religions in China, were operated by shamans in「temples of oral pleasure.」Many of the original POEMS and SONGS were cleverly disguised, double entrendre of sexual innuendo, or, blatant and frank verses about repeated copulation with a multitude of orifices, the「Spring Songs.」A DIVA is a highly distinguished female singer, and the word originates from「divine, a goddess, a really good singing girl」who was trained as the apprentice of a divining female, the local shaman witch doctor…「singing girl」is a Chinese euphemism for a superb sexual services provider, perhaps since she can use her tongue so well or because she causes her clientele to cry out loud and burst into hollering song. Shamans sold the services of these girls, and sold the girls themselves, too…called 'witch doctors' because they also sold divination services along with sex, and attempted to doctor you up after you contracted a sexually transmitted infectious disease in their 'temple of love.'
Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)

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.
