Meanings of elements

DELIBERATELY OUT-OF-REACH and FEELINGS, THOUGHTS, SPEWING PENIS with NETTING REMOVED, VESSEL of MALE ADULT
…or: A COMPARISON, RATHER with MALE ADULT, BLASTING DISCHARGE

Depicts an investigative process that means PREFERRED METHOD, RATHER, INSTEAD as「surround from above, deliberately out-of-reach, a spewing penis with the poultice netting removed or placed in a tray, and an adult male.」Perhaps, this scene occurs prior to engaging in sexual intercourse and only after receiving some assurance that there is no infection, or it has abated somewhat, RATHER than finding out the hard way a week to ten days later after an infection develops. Also suggests that「staying home and schtupping (ejaculation into a birth canal or other attainable orifice)」with a「preferred male is better」and provides some CONTENTMENT, PEACEFUL SERENITY and TRANQUILITY as the PREFERRED METHOD, RATHER than visiting the cave o' wonders and INSTEAD coming home with the clap or syphilis or who knows what else, or dealing with wives, concubines, and/or service providers. In ancient China, there were no moral taboos associated with homosexuality, just as some modern societies have become recently.

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.
