Elements as「oral intercourse completed successfully」is undeniably also a fine example of SINCERE effort. FAITH, TRUST, FIDELITY requires CONFIDENCE in a partner, RELIANCE upon someone to do what most of us cannot do when alone or for ourselves, no matter how much effort we devote to it personally, and DEVOTION to stay with the task until「complete」with no biting, clenching, or gnashing of teeth involved, that might be ascribed to these listed meanings: ADMONISH, WARN, PROHIBIT. Left elements literally are「a wide array of tonguing motions」and right elements literally are [one's]「dog erect straight up in high tension for a long time and gasping」or「male's vigorous blasting shaft, rod streaming with erection sliding head of stake in and discharging」[Elements vary by font].
It's perhaps the depth concept here that has significance: canid males, the「dogs」are endowed with a very special penis unlike any other penis. The dog schlong is equipped with two glands located at the base of the shaft that engorge and harden upon erection, normally after penetration into the bitch's vaginal orifice. These locking bulbus glandis swell large enough to prevent the penis from being extracted from the bitch's vagina for quite some time to allow the dog's semen sufficient time to get enough of a head start toward the bitch's ova that the male might actually sire some pups,「complete」his mission in life,「becoming」a dog dad, rather than the next dick dog waiting to mount the same bitch in heat. So this glyph meaning FAITH, TRUST, FIDELITY, SINCERITY, CONFIDENCE in a partner, RELIANCE upon someone else to do what most of us cannot do by or for ourselves, with DEVOTION…as its alternative meaning, the glyph also seems to depict 'deep throating' to the maximum limit possible, which exhibits a high degree of TRUST from both parties, and so on.

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.
