「Soil time, opportunity」as NESTING (sitting on eggs), or as ROOSTING (sleeping and excreting, a different activity than is nesting), and copulating are all various activities of chickens, but each activity does have some relationship with its cloaca (the combination egg-laying orifice, copulatory port, and feces-urine excretory vent). Spiral and vortex also may relate to the manner in which chickens copulate:
「The completed mating in chickens is the culmination of a sequence of behaviours. The rooster will initiate mating by exhibiting courtship behaviour: dropping one wing and dancing in a circle (the lowered wing will be on the inside of the circle dance). The hen will crouch (dip her head and body) to indicate receptiveness to the male. The rooster will then mount the hen and grab her comb, neck feathers, or the skin on the back of her head or neck to help hold onto the hen's back.」

A VORTEX is whirling mass of fluid (liquid or gas) in screwing motion that sucks everything near it toward its center from which escape is difficult if not impossible:「feces time」in a backdoor entryway addiction spiralling downward, perhaps? or「opium time」?「impacting rod in orifice with squeezing grip, throbbing」may well apply more as an allegorical euphemism to the human male's bird (penis) and chicks, birds (females with spiralling vortex port. See 巴 and 円) rather than literally to roosters, since most rooster chickens are no longer equipped with a discernable phallus.

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.
