「Eyeing woody」in a「close observation」「doing it together」: generally, no one else can literally observe the FEELINGS and THOUGHTS in your own mind and thinking is not an activity that people can do together—communication of thoughts is such an activity, discussion of thoughts, but most of us are not yet clairvoyant (or, no longer are so). Nevertheless, an individual can in fact observe himself or herself, whether for good or evil, in the thinking of one's own thoughts.
Keeping an「eye on woody spewing」also describes the THOUGHTS and FEELINGS, SENTIMENTS when infected, longing with wistful desire for better days or the good old days. May also refer to buddies who have been separated for a time:
「In traditional Chinese medicine, there has never been a mental disease called…homosexuality, or most of the other so-called sexual variations for that matter.」

「Historical accounts from the 18th century indicate that adult-child sex (particularly same-sex pairings) were an accepted practice in China, Japan, Africa, Turkey, Arabia, Egypt, and the Islamic areas of India (Trumbach, 1977). In 19th century London the going price for a virginal, 12-year-old girl, of good background, was reported to be 400 pounds (Bullough, 1964).」

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.
